I water down dishwashing liquid and hand wash

Keep wrapping paper and re use it

Only chew a 1/2 or 1/3rd of a piece of gum. Still works, I've gotten so used to it that a whole piece seems like too much.

I watch extreme cheapskates on Foxtel

I use less laundry detergent than recommend

We have bought all our baby stuff off facebook. Or op shops. I have received mixed reactions to this

I get 2 cups of tea out of each tea bag, but mostly because I like weak tea. And same with coffee sachets when I get them. And I buy reasonable quantities of stock when the specials are on, as often they are half price.
I also squeeze the very last drop out of the toothpaste tube, and use the last bit of cakes of soap.

I buy op shop clothes for round home doing housework, painting, gardening, and other messy jobs. They are usually cheaper, and better value than new stuff at shopping centre stores.
Under bed and other plastic storage containers at the $2 shops.

But then I buy the very best of clothes for out of home, and corporate work wear, beautiful antique furniture, bedding, and other expensive luxurious things I want. And good food.
It depends what you value, and where your priorities are.

I have just never seen the point of wasting money.

I used to be very thrifty - but not so much nowdays. Definitely opp shopping for clothing other than underwear and socks. Cooking at home, being vegetarian - lentils (food that expands rather than shrinks when you cook it!)
Keeping chooks (selling the eggs) and a veggie patch, fruit trees. Going blackberrying and making jam to sell as well as eat.
Using the library for dvds, books, sessions for the kids.
Hanging washing on racks indoors in Winter - not using a dryer.
Using a coffee machine....

I shop weekly using the catalogues. They come on line on Mondays at 5pm so I have all the next day to figure out a menu plan using what's on special. I never buy anything full price. Unless of course the generic brands are lower

This thread makes me feel so wasteful ☹️

I buy stuff cheap at op-shops and resell online

I'm curious about people using park bbqs for free cooking- do you have gas or electric cooking at home? I have a gas stove and it costs me about $12 a quarter for gas use for cooking (the supply charge is like $80, but I have to pay that anyway as we have gas heating for winter). Just wondering how much you save by cooking elsewhere? And do you factor in having to drive there (if you can't walk)?

I give unwanted presents to people

If it’s yellow let it mellow
If it’s brown flush it down

I grew up on and below the poverty line, so I've had to get used to NOT doing some of these things. Even when I first met my now husband we were dirt poor.
Hand me downs are my favourite things! With the exception of underwear, swimwear and shoes. Even now when we have a bit of money (we're not rich, but we're a far cry from the way we used to be) I still get them for my kids, and they've learnt to love them too.
Free bbqs in council parks/Lions parks/Rotary parks! For the push of a button (and the cost of the paper towel to clean the plate) you can cook loads of shit for free.
If you live in an area where it's permitted, you can pick up free fire wood and kindling and bake things in a fire pit in the backyard, for free! Provided you have cast iron cookware (see hand me downs above, thanks Nanna!).
Recycling your laundry water for flushing the toilet, you just collect it in buckets and tip down the bowl as necessary.
Washing your clothes by texture instead of colour means you can do fewer loads, and save water. Unless you can afford the laundromat and can cram everything into those big ass machines.
If you get a new pair of shoes (of course they're a size or two too big), you can put in a thick piece of cardboard over the inner sole, to keep them longer.
Some churches have a free morning tea on Sundays following the service.
Filling up your at home condiments with free ones from McDonalds (salt, pepper, sugar, tomato sauce).

I buy all my furniture cheap on Facebook MarketPlace, then paint it up to look really good.
Got to watch your mileage to go and fetch it though, or the transport costs reduce the savings.

No clothes dryer

I go to the laundromat and find odd socks left behind to use as pads when I have my period..... Hahaha no I don't but I saw it on extreme cheapskates on foxtel and it's haunted me ever since.

Turn off appliances at power point

My parents pretty much live in the dark. Never turn a light on.

My uncle writes the date on the butter/ice cream etc when he opens it and trys to beat (compared to last time) how long he can make it last for.

No but i'm thinking about becoming one. Watching for tips.
