"I Have Saved So Much Money Doing This": 27 Frugal Habits That People Stick To Because They Actually Really Work.

Saving money these days is no easy task, so I'm always on the lookout for practical habits to try. Recently, frugal people on Reddit shared their most "underrated" money-saving habits, and it gave me a lot of food for thought. Here's what they had to say:

1. "I multiply supposedly 'low monthly costs' by 12. The yearly cost is often a wake-up call that I don’t need something."

2. "Our prepaid cellphone plan saves us $100 a month from what we were paying."
—SpookyDooDo

"Prepaid cellphone plans are a life changer. I switched to one in November of last year, and I pay $15/month for my phone now. I plan on purchasing their annual plan this November once my promo period is over and eliminating my monthly payment altogether."

3. "Using the public library. Many now offer free streaming services, audiobooks, and ebooks."
—ObjectiveUpset1703

"And newspaper subscriptions! We have access to the New York Times and the Washington Post via the DC Public Library."

—Distinct-Squirrel203

4. "Cooking once and eating many times. For example, I make multiple servings of rice and freeze some for later. Or teriyaki chicken, make extra and freeze it for later. Then, when we don’t have time to fix dinner, I can put the two together, and we have a meal instead of grabbing a quick bite out on the run."
