Do you have any genuine tricks for keeping/maintaining a car that are frugal?...
I own a Vitamix, a Zojirushi rice cooker, and a Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme. I also own the instant pot max, and an air fryer by Sur la table. Between these appliances they help me make 90% of my food at home. The food is relatively easy, especially once you get the hang of the recipes, and they taste incredible!...
When I think about bills, I annualize them. $30 a month? That’s $360 a year. $5/mo? $60 a year....

I want online stores to buy tech and other items (not clothing, I already have a few stores for that. Although if a specific store has clothing in addition to the things I’m asking for is fine). Kind of like aliexpress, but I don’t like aliexpress as I can’t get off the feeling that I will be scammed if I shop there,...
Can we get a community icon for /c/frugal?

Not only will a bidet save you on toilet paper, but you will actually feel like you have a clean butt after pooping. Initially it feels weird, but after you get used to it, you won’t want to poop without it....

With continually rising prices I’ve squeezed about everywhere that could be. Am looking to the community for help. Things like groceries, car service, haircuts, cleaning supplies . Thanks
