A dinner for 3 for under $5! $2.50 sale sausage plus $1.12 discount pasta plus home canned tomatoes plus bulk spices. My daughter loves it.

We used to spend a fortune on store-bought coffee creamer until I realized a simple 3-ingredient mix of milk, sugar and vanilla saves us $28 a month. That's $336 a year. It took a few days to get used to real ingredients, but now we can't stand the fake stuff!

Have you ever swapped a daily staple for a homemade version?

Took full advantage of a $3/lb ground beef sale this week! 🍝 Kept my kitchen stove busy browning it all at once to divide into two months' worth of meal portions for the freezer. It saves money up front and makes weeknight dinners effortless. Do you prep your bulk meat right away, or freeze it raw?

Buying used is not always the best deal! I was scrolling Facebook Marketplace recently and saw a beat-up tool set listed for $200 — the exact same price it costs brand new at the store. 🤯 I see the same thing with clothes: by the time you dig through clearance racks, you can often find brand new items for less than thrift store prices. What's one popular "frugal hack" you think is actually a waste of time or money?
