We are all for anyone who takes the time and effort to cut down on the steadily rising costs of living through various ingenious acts of top-tier frugality.
With outings like going to the grocery store becoming their own cortisol-charged events, and the very act of making more money seeming like it’s all but futile, frugality is more important than ever.
These particular frugal wins shared by Reddit users definitely deserve their roses.
