What’s a frugal trick you’ve chanced upon recently?
I accidentally semi-reinvented the “trencher”. Basically, in medieval times, food would be served on a slab of bread and that would kinda be the plate. Or, you know, bread bowls for soup and the like.
I have an air fryer, and I’ve learned I can line the basket in a large flour tortilla, and it generally keeps whatever I’m cooking/warming up from getting the pan too dirty aside from some easily knocked-out crumbs.
I hate washing things, and I hate wasting paper liners, so it lets me cut down on those, and I can just eat the tortilla.

My local power company is a price gouger… but my state has mandated that we can select our source provider with zero penalties for switching… even between other sources.
It’s not a ton… since the ‘delivery’ fees are straight up highway robbery and not under the control of the outside provider… but it’s still something.
Currently doing research on solar and how much I need to save to afford the up front costs.
Eating out isn’t exactly frugal but if you are going to get fast food and they have an app I’d recommend using it cause you can get some pretty good deals. I often get half off a meal which makes those rare times I decide to eat out that much cheaper.
I hate it, but it’s true. Rocking a burger & fries for $3 is great especially when you didn’t have to purchase, prep, cook, and have to clean. This isn’t sustainable for many reasons but totally worth it occasionally
That there are so many things that you can do|be|have for free outside. There are surprisingly lot of places run by the government/city that can be used at little to no charge.
sidenote: You can borrow DVDs from the library and rip them for free. Real nice.
Pro-tip. Don’t try kids movies or shows, scratched up enough that they don’t rip.
