The ‘Frugal’ online community lives by the motto, “Waste Less—Gain More!” And they’re absolutely right: there’s lots to gain from living less wasteful, more flexible lives.

“Frugality is the mental approach we each take when considering our resource allocations. It includes time, money, convenience, and many other factors,” the subreddit mods describe what their community is all about. Active since March of 2008, r/Frugal has since then entrenched itself in Reddit and formed a very sizeable niche for anyone and everyone who wants to embrace a more economic, less wasteful way of living life in the 21st century.

In an interview for a previous Bored Panda article, I had a chat about saving on food costs if you’re a fast-food lover with Jake Butler from ‘Save the Student,’ a UK-based organization that advises students on how to make their money go further.

According to Jake, we have to talk about the obvious—you can save the most money on fast-food and takeaways by learning to say ‘no’ to tasty treats and cooking solely at home. However, not all hope is lost, dear Pandas!

You can make a lot of your fave fast-food meals at home. The best parts are that it’s way cheaper and that you have complete control over the nutritional value.

“The good news is that you can easily recreate your favorites at home for a fraction of the price. It's much healthier this way too.

“The good news is that the ingredients for most of these recipes aren't too pricey and you can still hunt for bargains to make the dish cheaper. Buying in bulk is always a winner too when it comes to saving money so it's a great idea to get together with friends and maybe take it in turns to make your favorite fakeaways,” Jake said.

According to him, the essence of creating takeaways at home lies in the seasoning! “Salt and pepper won't break the bank, but they can make or break a meal. Don't forget that sugar can take a dish to the next level too.”

Wedding For Under $3k USD. Dress For $15 USD. This Was Right For Us

Here's our cost breakdown. Only the daughters needed shoes. I did my own makeup, but purchased a few high quality items. Our marriage license cost includes the cost to have a mailed copy of the marriage certificate. Ring cost does not include the engagement ring. Thanks to Covid, we stayed well under budget. Full disclosure: we're having a destination wedding (vow renewal) in Oct 2021 with just immediate family, where we're paying for accommodations for all 25 people. I'd be happy with just our Covid wedding, but we are fortunate enough to be able to do both.

Venue (Park):$0.00- Justice of the Peace:$130.00- Marriage License:$70.00- Photographer:$200.00- Floral:$34.00- Attire: $258.53 (Bride $15.00, Groom $52.64, Son $52.64, Daughters (2) $138.25)- Makeup:$70.00- Rings:$1,986.88

Even though a real Lunchable costs more, at least its components are lower quality.

And for the edges of the ribbon: nowadays all ribbons in fabric and craft shops are synthetic. Just quickly run the edge through a flame to seal it (very quickly or the melted edge will turn brown). Voila, no fraying. If you do not want the slightly hardened edge a melted edge gives you, just snip the edge to form a swallow tail.

Good system. It's still A LOT of eating out for me. Eating out is not something ordinary where I live, but more of a treat. My partner and I eat out let's say, once or twice a month, tops. We always cook our meals, and so does everybody I know.
