I was having this conversation with a friend and we both got some useful ideas from each other (cancelling various underused subscription services, making use of libraries, more home vege gardening etc) - curious to know what else people are trying.

    We don’t buy things when we feel that the price has crossed the reasonable threshold. This means we rarely eat out anymore, I’ve stopped buying several food items that I enjoy at the grocery store, and we’ve cancelled all of our streaming services since they’re so fragmented and expensive now. We usually spend a lot on entertainment, but companies have become so greedy that we don’t spend anything with them now. Like Netflix when they decided that they won’t let families share accounts anymore. I’ve had a Netflix subscription for over a decade. The only reason we were keeping it is because my mom and my son use it. Neither of them would subscribe on their own. But since we can’t share with them we cancelled. Great plan, Netflix!
