I never eat out, pretty much eat only rice bread beans lentils and fruits and veggies when I can get em

I never go outside unless its free, so usually to the park. I also exercise there with calisthenics to avoid paying for a gym, and I bike everywhere

I pirate anything I want/need, or look at buy nothing groups if I need something physical. I pretty much only spend extra money on weed, at a discount direct from a grower

Trim my own hair very occasionally and got a DE razor with like a billion razors for a couple bucks that has lasted me for years now

Host my own server on an old thinkpad for personal music streaming anywhere for free

Cold showers to keep the bill lower/feels better imo, and lots of layers in the winter

I also sleep on the carpeted floor, so no need to buy mattress or box sets or frames
