Frugal Living: Waste Less-Gain More!
Anyone in here have no car? No drivers license? If so, how do you cope?
Life sucks without a car, i feel subhuman, i live in a very car centric city with abysmal public transportation system, its hard to get around in the cod ass winter, especially when it gets snowy and icy,
Uber/lyft adds up way to quickly on my fixed income
All in all life just fucking sucks without a car 😥, I dont even have a drivers license, and dont know how to go about getting one,
But truthfully I wouldn't be able to afford a car on my fixed income anyway, so I'm screwed either way

I’ve also done crocheted hats and scarves, small paintings, and things like homemade bath bombs, sugar scrubs, and salt soaks.
What low-cost or homemade gifts have you done or are doing this year?

I hate cooking but still want to eat healthy. How can someone like this save money on groceries?
Just like the title says. I hate cooking. I hate the time that it consumes and the mess you have to clean up. How can I save money on groceries when I hate cooking while still eating healthy? Frozen meals are too expensive and obviously so is eating out. Meal delivery services create too much waste in packaging. Would love to hear your ideas. Trying to save as much as possible.

Frugal Living: Waste Less-Gain More!
Started tracking what I throw away and it changed how I shop
used to think i was pretty good about not wasting food. then i started actually writing down what i threw away each week.
first week was embarrassing. half a bag of spinach that went slimy. three bell peppers. leftover rice i forgot about. bread that got moldy. probably $15-20 worth of stuff gone into the trash.
so i changed my approach. now before i go shopping, i take a photo of my fridge and pantry because it stops me from buying stuff i already have buried in the back.
i also started treating my fridge like inventory. wilting lettuce? makes tonight's dinner. bananas getting brown? into the freezer for smoothies later. leftover chicken? gets shredded and frozen in portions.
my big change was accepting that i don't need variety every single day. i used to buy ingredients for 12 different meals and 1/4 of it would go bad. now i buy ingredients that overlap. if i'm making tacos one night, i'm using those same beans, cheese, and peppers for a burrito bowl later in the week. I got help from meetaugust.
my grocery bill dropped from like $120/week to $70. not because i'm eating less, just because i'm actually eating what i buy instead of throwing it away.
also learned to meal plan around what's expiring first, not what sounds good. those mushrooms are getting soft? mushroom pasta tonight. that yogurt expires tomorrow? breakfast sorted.
So this way no throw into trash.

Every book was only $1.50, and I expected junk, but after checking Goodreads, the reviews all look genuinely promising. I’m excited to read them all and feel like this holiday treat was a win honestly. So very happy! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay (what the heck is up with this 300 minium word count on this sub, feel like I'm back at school trying to trick teacher with double spaces)

Frugal Cell Phone Insurance / Same Day Screen Repair
Okay let me start by saying I am both frugal and klutzy. I have spent years making sure I did not pay much for phone insurance because I file claims every other phone I buy. For a while I paid my cell phone bill on a WellsFargo credit card because it offered free insurance and I handled 2 claims with them successfully including one that I received a $600 check for that would have otherwise been uncovered by other companies.
For Apple Products I consistently chose AppleCare but I have been severely unhappy with AppleCare for quite some time. All the local stores that are able to do iPhone repairs through AppleCare are claiming that they don't keep the phone screens in stock and they have to wait to receive the screen in store (often taking a week or longer) in order to handle the repair. To make matters worse, Best Buy has you make an appointment (where they were over 30 minutes late) to look over the phone to demand you make another appointment for the repair. The other repair shop has a similar policy.
I have T-mobile and I have looked at their Protection 360 and I am not impressed by their services either. They are more expensive, still utilize AppleCare, and seemingly have the same drawbacks being unable to provide same day service.
Is anyone satisfied with an alternative? At this point I am seriously considering removing traditional insurance from this phone altogether because if I have to wait a week for a repair then the monthly $15 cost doesn't make sense to me.

Aliexpress finally scammed me
At /r/Aliexpress
I ordered some toys for my nephews and nieces and the delivery service EASY EXPRESS, failed to deliver during business hours. After 30 days, I requested refund. Lo and behold the delivery was made next day after a 2 weeks delay. However, the package was damaged and taped up, and was missing items. I requested refund for the missing items and I am stuck in this “need for more evidence” hell. After this fourth try I am going charge back on this order. Since they didn’t deliver within 30 days should I ask for complete refund of the order even though I received the partial order?Aliexpress also requested feedback but when I tried to submit, they rejected feedback due to my dissatisfaction lol. Too many words, even when I emptied the replies. Fuck this company
