“Frugality is the practice of acquiring goods and services in a restrained manner, and resourcefully using already owned economic goods and services, to achieve a long term goal.”
Since I needed some sort of guide in my quest for frugality I've had to do a little reading. I have identified a few strategies that narrow the field, so to speak, individual things I can work towards and focus on.
Here's the short list, details and goals/plans to follow:
- reduce waste
- identify and eliminate costly habits
- practice delayed gratification
- seek efficiency
- defy expensive social norms
- avoid traps
- find cost-free options
- barter
- become well-informed about my neighborhood and what's available
