Rouses brand large yogurt containers are the same size and taste as higher priced Yoplait yogurt. I'm sure that's where Rouses comes from. My wife washes and saves them for short term food storage, starting garden plants, and general storage of odds and ends.
We can't bring ourself to throw them away and at any one time have a few dozen on hand.
Dole's peaches in the jar are also useful, I keep several in my home shop for soaking engine parts and other one time uses. Also good for storing flexible plastic fishing lures bought in bulk on sale. Wife uses them for food storage, especially gumbo which doesn't last long in our house.

Great topic
I shop at Goodwill
Save the “Tupperware” that cold cuts come in
Use the crockpot to cook cheap cuts of meat
Take advantage of happy hours (I’m old)
Save plastic grocery bags to clean up after dog.

Is this a poor thing? These things are delicious
My dad used to eat sardines and crackers out of a can. I’d sit in his lap and share them. I’m far from poor and still buy sardines.

don't know if this is a poor thing or not, but NOBODY eats left overs in my house. However, I started cutting up the leftover steak, chicken, salmon, etc.. from dinners an apportioning them into snack bags to pour over the dog's food (rather than throwing out) and since doing this, my teenagers have started eating them like mini lunchables.
Apparently placing them beautifully on a bed of rice with a side of veggies was disgusting, but now in baggies, they get eaten by humans.
Whatever

Skip out on the child support payments here and there.

Only buy toilet paper when it’s on sale. Then I buy it all and live off of it until the next sale.

Next best thing to staying married and raising kids as a couple is for the Dad, when the divorce is finalized, to pay child support irregularly if at all. It is a good life lesson for kids. It builds character. May not be the type of character valued by society but character is character any way you slice it....

I don’t order food when I go eat with the wife and kids. Plenty food leftover that they don’t finish.
My 84 year old dad lives with us. He tells people all the time he has never eaten as good in his life as he does eating what my wife and kids bring home nightly from restaurants. He has a hell of an immune system....he will eat shite even while saying "I think this shite is spoiled" and NEVER has any sort of stomach issues from it. Our dogs despise him....
Speaking of restaurants - my wife and I went to Taco Tuesday at our favorite Mexican place last night. Tuesday. Place had an hour long wait for a table. Tuesday. I would bet my salary at least half the people in that restaurant have said something in the last few years about being broke. Spending $100 on Tuesday dinner for 4 with cheese dip, margaritas and the works will indeed lead to one being "broke"....

Fill up zip lock bags with water and put them in the freezer. I use this ice in my cooler when I go fishing.

Buying tools and using them one time and returning them.
At work we will have a potluck lunch a few times a year. I have never brought a dish but I always eat the food.

I like the Dawn Platinum Foam dish soap. I learned that foaming soaps are just regular liquid soap mixed 1 to 1 with water and put into a container with the pump nozzle, so now I make my own foaming soaps.
Add a little rubbing alcohol and you have Dawn Power Wash

That is poor. I've stepped up to ramen noodles and tuna with ponzu sauce - and a fried egg on top...
...and chopped green onion if I got it.
