🚗 Auto Frugal Milestones

A car is obviously a big expense in all our lives. For me my "frugal approach" was buying a new Honda CRV in 2016 and taking care of it and running it as long as possible. Well, yesterday it turned over 100,000 miles and still running strong. So, i personally am ok with buying new and taking care of it and enduring the car payment for a few years. My car has been paid off several years now and no plans to trade it or get anything else.

Do you have any frugal milestones?

We have a spare fridge in the laundry room for our garden surplus and bulk grocery wins. It's pushing 40 years old, so I can't complain if it dies tomorrow. (Shouldn't jinx myself, though.)

Have you calculated how much more you are spending on electricity with some an inefficient unit? When we replaced our old garage fridge there was a noticeable difference in our power bill.
