Your Weirdest Frugal Habit That Works?

We all know the standard frugal advice: buy generic, cook at home, stick to a budget, etc. But what about those quirky, maybe a little weird habits that actually save you real money? Here are a few of mine: Condiment hoarder: I save every takeout ketchup/soy/hot sauce packet. Haven’t bought bottles in over a year. Lotion surgeon: I cut open "empty" lotion bottles — there's always another few days’ worth inside. Toothpaste bobby pin method: I roll it tight and clip it with a bobby pin to squeeze out the last bits. Old T-shirt > paper towels: I use worn-out shirts as rags. Cuts down on waste and I don’t have to keep buying paper towels. Not glamorous, but effective. So let’s hear it: What’s your weird but wonderful frugal habit that just works? Bonus points if it’s something you think most people overlook. Let’s crowdsource the weirdest ways to stretch a dollar. #FrugalLife #MoneySavingTips #WeirdButEffective #BudgetHacks #CheapWins #LifeOnABudget #rFrugal
