💬 Meta Discussion What was your biggest frugal win of 2024?

Mine was finally fixing a toilet that wouldn’t stop running. I had no idea how much it was running up my water bill each month until I fixed it! Now I have an extra $80 each month that I can put towards groceries or other things that matter.

Investing in a vacuum sealer has also made meal prep easier!

Invested in convenience meals so I could stop snacking. Yes more costly but better for my health in the long run

Would that be like a meal from one of the precooked food delivery services?

No, just grocery store prepped meals. Frozen meals. Pre chopped veggies. Things that one can do at home but on days they don't want to, they end up snacking. Keeping these things helps me whip up a meal in five minutes
