> washing dishes with natural dishwasher soap and sponge> home night lighting from street light> using light from the router and washing machine ligths to go to bathrooom at night> going to street market a hour before it closes to buy vegetables> using envelopes from letters as makeshift notepad> drawing with ink from sumi ink stick on stone collectorNot this "i fo not flush toilet" trick, thats disgusting. Other ideas?

Nigga what the fuck is tipping lmao
>>533906706celibacygirlfriend is expensivechildren are expensive
>>533906706You wouldn't understand.
>>533906852you're thinking cheap instead of frugal. a frugal gf is clearly not going to be expensive and together, as man and wife, you can raise kids in a frugal (but not cheap) manner. thats what we do.
>>533906706They should have just written "being white" on the left side and "being black" on the right side because this fits to a T.
>>533906706is this greek-specific? okay>retake constantinople and use the wealth taken from muslim scum to enrich Evropa
New 1PBTI Greek incel thread just dropped!
>>533906911nigger you were concerned with turning on the fucking lights lolyou cannot afford herdont worry she only wants bbc anyway
>>533906911A frugal women with decent shopping skills and budgeting skills is a big green flag. You know she's not retarded and she doesn't fall for impulse shopping and unnecessary luxury items.
>>533906941i met a cheap greek one time, in Greece. he was traveling around on a bicycle and used to go into churches along the way taking the olive oil that people leave to run all the little oil lamps they have in those places. he used to eat that instead of shoplifting bottles of oil because they were too big.....but he did shoplift packets of meat and stuff. then he'd go into a city at night and look for a free place to sleep, usually some kind of squatters property where the drunks stay.he ended up threatening to kill me when he was high on weed so i moved on. funny guy
>>533906992There is also a positive health and mental side effect from low lights at night. Frugal&healthy.
>>533906992>you were concerned with turning on the fucking lights lol use LED blubs now so its not a big deal anymore.>>533907098definitely and its something you can sniff out really soon in the start of a relationship.
>>533906706What's the point of saving if I can never afford to buy a house and build equity?
>>533907164Aka respecting the day and night natural light cycle
>>533907164poor and poorshitface turk mutt, cant wait til jews overrun your society after israel falls
>>533906706Here's a tip.
>>533907231I would say most of the time you don't even have to talk to the woman, a quick scan of her clothes, accessories and makeup is enough to deduce her spending habits.
>>533906706Not using a dishwasher is subhuman
>>533907317not a bad first approximation at all>>533907336cry about it
>>533906706Cooking most of your meals goes a long way towards trimming your budget. As does living in a smaller home (but becomes less convenient when you have kids).
>>533907401Using the dishwasher conserves far more water than hand washing. Energy too, if you're hand washing with hot water.
isn't US the only nation that tips?
>>533906706>washing dishes with natural dishwasher soap and spongebuy a dishwasher, they use less water than hand washing.
>>533907490not if you do it in a frugal manner. i see people who leave the water running the whole time and that uses far more.
>>533906800also drying them inside during the winter, free room humidification
>>533906706>not leaving tipsoy vey
>>533907403Who the fuck goes out in the year 2026 if he isn't loaded or at least comfortable? I don't even like going out. They stuff your food with sugar and sneeds, kitchen hygiene is also a gamble. Maybe I'm a bit peculiar when it comes to stuff like that, but that's just the biggest waste of money for me. Even if a friend or family member invites me, I will always try to suggest having a nice dinner home instead. Fuck eating subpar slop for 25 bucks, I can have a steak dinner for two at home for that money. If I was in America, I wouldn't eat out no matter how much money I have, fuck that compulsory tipping shakedown.
>>533907317indeed>wears makeupdropped before she can open her mouth
>>533907829i never liked that so much those we dry the kids stuff that way because they alwys need it again soon. with a wood stove its not really a problem with the humidity i guess.we do dry clothes outside during the winter though and it works pretty well because of the dry air. takes a bit long of course but for most stuff theres no rush. a wood stove is a great frugal was to heat too. i close a couple upstairs rooms off through the winter as well because they aren't used day to day. saves a lot of wood. used to close the entire upstairs off when the kids were small and sleeping downstairs with us.
>>533906706>tipsYeah, just give away money to someone that you're not obligated to for no fucking reason, lmao do Americans really?
>>533908033you appear to have lost all sense of charity and kindness. you never tipped the pizza guy a quid or two, said 'keep the change' etc?
>>533908224No, I have not. Why would I tip someone for doing their job?
>>533907490You know what fucking conserves water? Not using chemical detergents that take a ton of water to wash away. Olive seed soap for example, other natural soaps too.
>>533908033Youre ruled by sand nigger rapists and love govt censorshipSilence bong
>>533906706>Lrn2cookSeriously, like actually cook. You can amazing meals for like a family for like $15 if you know how to make food taste really good without having to dump seasoning on it.
>>533908286>no i have no>why would i...sadly, you have, since you find this such a foreign concept. thankfully, while i was growing up in the UK and delivered for dominoes, most people were not in your sad state, and very often tipped a quid or two. helped a young me get ahead bit by bit
>>533908385You're ruled by paedophilic jews and Israel (same thing really) though.
>>533908405>without having to dump seasoning on it.what do you mean by 'seasoning' ? surely not just the addition of spices etc
>>533908450What motivation do I have to give away money unnecessarily? I don't care about the delivery driver "getting ahead". People that tip are fucking cucks.
>>533907138>I met a thieving nigger that threatened to kill meYou should have killed him.
Also learn diy skills. My sister will throw out appliances and buy new ones every few years. My wife and I have a 12 year old KitchenAid that we have had to tear down and repair/replace a few parts over the years but it still works. Literally a fun thing to do while having coffee in the morning. Sons switch had a cracked screen? 1 hour replacement. Car brakes and oil changes and some other repairs... One afternoon and literally parts and beer vs $500+ at the repair shop.Learn to do maintenance early. Far cheaper to do small diy jobs or pay someone $200 a year to maintain your boiler than paying for emergency services to repair it.
>>533908000I'm terrified of carbon monoxide poisoning. I know that chances are very low with a wood stove, but something like an open fireplace would be out of the question for me. I knew some boomer Jugos who bought a house once they were in pension, they were uneducated village hicks, but nice people. They didn't really know how to heat safely with a fireplace, probably never heard of carbon monoxide poisoning, you can guess what happened a couple of weeks after they moved in.
>>533908579because its nice to reward people who are working low end jobs if they do a good job, are polite, pleasant people. i wont say that you are non-white...perhaps you're just jewishly cheap and/or autistic and simply can't into it.
>>533908579Here in Greece employee cashiers on take away coffee and small shops have a cup that says> tips for trips> change for zanax> change for psychologist etc
>>533907518Shithole tourist areas expect tips from burger tourists
>>533908521Yes. Seasoning is good, don't get me wrong. If I'm baking or grilling chicken for a Wednesday night dinner, I'll sprinkle some garlic salt or some other seasoning. But if I want to replicate the kind of meal I get at a restaurant, I'll do more with real ingredients and extra work that brings flavor. I'll still use salt, pepper, etc. basic things like that. But a Sunday roasted chicken can taste amazing without ever using "McCormick Sunday roast chicken seasoning" or anything else other than salt and butter.
>>533908709>because its nice to reward people who are working low end jobs if they do a good job, are polite, pleasant people.Why? They're compensated by their employer for the work that perform, which comes from the revenue taken from the customer in exchange for the service provider. I'm not paying extra for no reason. Imagine applying this concept to other occupations and giving some roads worker a fiver because he's "doing a good job".
>>533906706>washing dishes with natural dishwasher soap and spongeThat is much more wasteful if you want to actually wash them and now just rinse them off. They come out sterile off the dishwasher btw
>>533908700terrible. im really not sure how it would happen with a properly installed stove, since theres basically no way for anything to flow back out of it into the room. i was in a house once that would get some smoke blowback in very high gusty winds, but again that can be fixed with a better chimney cap.my stove system will draw air into it even when the thing isn't lit, because its just a function of how the air pressure works.much higher chance of CO1 problems heating with natural gas heaters.>>533908784oh ok so by 'seasoning; you mean some kind of premade mix out of a packet. got it. yeah i dont usually like those much anyway. reminds me of another frugality tip - dont by spices ready to use in those little jars. buy bags of cumin seeds etc and grind them in a coffee grinder or something.for cumin here its about $6 per 60g jar. a 500g bag of cumin seeds is less than $5.
>>533908939listen, i understand that you dont get it anon. you take your 50p change and carry on regardless.
>>533908700how acoid carbon monoxide poisoning from stove?
>>533908945Diseasher makes them break faster too due to the heat
>>533906706Eating more beans is a good way to cut costs without sacrificing anything really. Good fiber, good macros, it has some nice amino acids the body can turn into proteins later on.Cooking instead of eating out is a generally good way to save a crap ton of money.You can make some good meals for a few shekels that can last you days if it's for you alone, if not they can feed a whole family for a day with little money. Most people eat half or more than half of what money they make. A way to reduce spending is to change what one eats without sacrificing quality of life and health. Heck, some may even find it healthier because eating out is often less healthy than making your own meals
>>533909456Yes food from outside has most of the time stuff like this to fix the tastehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate
>>533908405Really cheap meal that taste amazingBaked feta with pastaJust add some oil to an oven pan or those rectangle glass things.Minced garlic(few cents), cherry tomatoes (a dollar or two, you can possibly use canned cherry tomatoes but rather use the fresh ones).Salt and pepper over them. Then place a feta brick (2-3$ worth of cheese). Add a little bit of oil and salt and pepper over it.Bake for like 20 minutes or until tomatoes and cheese are soft. Boil some pasta in the meantime (like a dollar worth of spiral pasta or something).Mix the feta and tomatoes, crush the tomatoes and feta until mix. Add pasta and a little bit of pasta water as needed.Amazing meal and it's cheap. Feeds 4.Throw some other protein lile grilled chicken breast or something similar for extra protein and filling.
>>533909456a pressure cooker is a great thing to use for frugal cooking too. cooks so many things very much quicker than an open pan boiling away. you can cook a lot of beans, for example, in about 12 minutes under pressure compared to 2x that at least normally. rice is done in just a few minutes.
>>533906706What exactly is "short term savings"? So if I buy a discounted product that's for short term? Fuck off please.
>>533906706>using light from the router and washing machine ligths to go to bathrooom at nightkeeping your washing machine always on on standby is much costlier than turning on a 2w lightbulb for 10 minutes per day
>>533909930to me it means things like buying the cheapest power tool because the price looks good but it breaks quickly, or avoiding small repair costs that eventually mean much more expensive repair costs, stuff like that.short term thinking instead of longer term consequence awareness.
>>533906706Is this a sneaky attempt to legitimize tips? Putting this shit into the "good things people do" cateory as opposed to "bad thing"? How about YOU stop being cheap and pay your employees?
>>533910143No i mean while its working, or opening just the led screen for a bit then closing it again
>>533910153Also maybe blackfriday products etc have lower manufacturing quality. Same model name, different quality. In cars too it happens from country market to market
>>533909930You buy the discounted meat, instead of the larger frozen slab of it(which also costs less per kg than the discounted one).>>533907403>As does living in a smaller home (but becomes less convenient when you have kids).Only as long as the house market supports said size.Once it no longer do, that is no longer a option. And you have the choice between living with several flatmates for almost the same money, or paying 3x just to have a guest bedroom so you can perform normal family/fried visit features.
>>533909761I use an instapot because it's extremely convenient. Best use for 100$.I have even made tonkotsu ramen with it.>>533909752GMS is actually not bad but the problem is that some fast food chains and other use way too much of it. GMS is naturally found in meats,eggs, fish and milk/cheese. Your tongue can directly feel 4 flavours but the 5th is a chemical your body detects and whatever it's on your body tells you to eat more. That 5th taste is "umami" and umami is tied directly to GMS because it's found in meat and meats are neither sweet, sour, bitter and barely salty.You can use GMS at home but you ahve to know how to use it. A homemade vegetable stir fry with a little bit of GMS is amazing. Same with some homemade fried rice. Heck, you can even add a little bit to vegetable soups and creams to xhighlight" the flavours. Also as I already said, it's also found in other things, cheese specially and parmesan has a crap ton of GMS while also being mostly lactose free. Add parmesan to anything you feel it needs a "kick" and it will turn amazing.
>>533910513hmm hadn't heard of that but i wouldnt be surprised. buying tools on offer is definitely the best way though, since the regular retail prices are always retarded.
>>533907098>>533907231Is this endgame jewish gaslightning? There are no frugal women.
>>533910751>I use an instapotthose pressurize dont they?>>533911128there are. you're the jewish one trying to say there aren't
>>533911128im not saying you wont have to encourage them a bit though. but you can find reasonably frugal girls if you're lucky and then you train them a bit more.
>>533911128Yes there are. I bet your mom is reasonably frugal.
>>533911166>n-no you are the jewSure buddy. Flowers, clothes, painting, furniture.. They're always spending regularly on something. I met a lot of nice women, not one who could sit still and just pyt money aside.>>533911402Lmao, no.
>>533911128correctas soon as introduced to western values the whore gene kicks in and its a spiral from there
>>533908945so i looked this since several anons said the same thing. turns out a good machine will use 3-4 gallons per load, which isn't much at all. BUT from what i can tell, the comparisons to hand washing is based on having the water constantly running into the sink. Of course, that will use a lot of water over 10-15 minutes.i think thats a pretty shit comparison because i know f for sure that i can do a sink full of dishes on less than 4-5, because my basement water pump will kick in after drawing 5 gallons from the tank and i usually dont need it to run.also, for me anyway, a few gallons here and there is completely irrelevant. aside from the UV bulb used each, water costs are maybe $10/month for the electricity. >>533911464i wouldnt marry a woman like that anon. but your claim that they dont exist is false. i hope you meet one one day...or are able to train one into being better with money at least. not everyone is like your mom.
>leave a tip when you drink at home
>>533911932Mate, i had to get together with someone before going mad and she's different from my mom, but definitely not frugal. Accounts are kept separate, that's not the issue, but i still you're full of shit. Alas we will this if this talking point returns.
>>533911166They do. It's just a "smart" electric pressure cooker. You can also use it as a slow cooker
>>533912828then you need to work on her to make her better. >separate accountsim not fan of that. she should see you as being head of the house and responsible for what money gets spent on.
>>533912876yeah ok thats sounds pretty neat. i like the basic pressure cookers for stove top use because they dont need electricity to use, can be pre heated on the wood stove etc, but i see the attractiveness of the instapot
>>533911464Does she shop in Edeka instead of Lidl/Aldi, or what do you mean? Are your parents comfortable financially, or does her spending behavior put a dent into their budget?
