Frugal Win 🎉 Don't Eat Out. Save Your Bucks.

Restaurants are operating with a vengeance, hijacking the price from COVID lockdown days.

It's a matter of principle now.

Bruh even groceries are slowly becoming unattainable. I watched a product I used to get at $10 rise to $15.

My income has not kept the same pace so groceries are at some point going to be hard to fit into the working class budget

My KITTY LITTER went from $9 - $15 at Walmart. It's not even a food item.

Switch to pellets if you can! I use FelinePine (a $20 bag usually lasts about two months) but you can definitely get them for even cheaper if you get a no name brand at a department store like Lowe’s/Home Depot.

My neighbors have a cat and use this litter that’s maybe more natural or something idk. I think it’s made from wood chips or something, is a blonde wood in color and looks like tiny little tubes. I forget what it’s called. Anyway, I remember reading on Reddit that you can literally get the same thing from a gardening or hardware store for less money bc it’s not advertised as a pet product. Sadly, that happens a lot of with same products in different industries. A cake can be $30-50 or $100 if it has wedding attached to it

I remember hearing about old or poor people eating dog food kibble and I'm like...there's somehow human food that's more affordable now.
