I completely agree with this. I love commercial kitchen equipment. They rarely break down and when they do, you can get parts and fix them easily. I got a used Hobart N50 commercial mixer for the same price as a kitchen aid. These things are a beast and many of them that are 50-60 years old are still running just fine. I also have a Vitamix The Quiet One blender, Dynamic MX08 handheld blender, Robot Coupe R3. You can usually buy them used for the same price as an consumer model. Restaurants usually fail in the first 3yrs, these products usually last decades, so they have plenty of life left and often have ways of servicing them. They are usually NSF certified so that they can be easily cleaned and sterilized too. I also bought a used kitchen knife set with 4 knives, a knife block, a ceramic sharpener for $200, the price of one chef’s knife new. Same with garage tools, some camera gear, etc. where new, latest, and pristine is not as import as functionality and durability.

When purchasing technology, never buy the "latest" thing. The price is usually inflated and if it's something like a computer or a smart phone it'll have bugs that need to be worked out. Buying one generation back is always a smart way to go!

Change the way you give gifts. My husband and I like to gift homemade treats (candy, preserves, sweet breads, etc.) It is always less expensive and people love it. It's also a great way to spend time together. There is way too much pressure to spend $$$ for holidays and birthdays.

I made hanging decorations last Christmas and got some card stock to make my own cards. I get all cringed out thinking of going to stores to buy gifts now that I can make. There's a lot of things people say they want that they could buy themselves then never use them or regift them. I make sure my handcrafts are personal and have some meaning to them to the person. Like a late pet or family member.

I was wasting food... half open packages were getting lost in my freezer, and only resurfacing when they were beyond use. I got the biggest freezer bag I could find, and whenever I open any package, I put the part I didn't use in the bag, right in the front, on the top shelf. Every time I open the freezer, I look at the bag and see if there is anything I can use up... maybe put the peas in a stir fry, or make vegetable soup. I don't have to use the open packages, but just looking at them keeps me from letting them go to waste.

If you are running up too much credit card debt, freeze your card, literally in a block of ice (this won't work if you've memorized or written down the number. By the time the block melts, you'll have had time to think about it. I do all my shopping online, and I have a 24 hour rule... put it in the cart and sleep on it. If I still want it next day, fine, otherwise, delete or save for later.

Keep your $5 bills back - or the equivalent in your currency. When you get home at the end of the day and pull your money out take all the 5's you have left from the day and save them. Those save up a whole heck of a lot faster than ones.
Also - keep your change and save it. I have three containers one has quarters, one nickels and dimes, the last pennies. I've always held my change back and it's saved me when times get strapped.

I save a lot of money by bringing my own food for breakfast, lunch or coffee break at work. My company provides hot and cold water for free, so I bring a bowl with my oatmeal, a bagged lunch and a nice quality instant coffee and a reusable mug. I also have a reusable water bottle that I fill up, so I don't have to buy water. I don't know how much I'm saving by bringing these things from home and just using their water dispenser, but I think it's reasonable to assume something like $5 for breakfast, $1.50 for a bottle of water, $3 for coffee and $5-10 for lunch. And I'm eating healthier for it, too, which is important for people my age/health situation. My company doesn't mind providing the hot/cold water dispenser, either--it's cheaper than a company coffee maker or cafeteria. They provide a microwave too, if I ever want hot food instead of my typical sandwich & veggies.

That's like at the office at my work, too. They got a fridge, sink, microwaves, filtered water dispenser, free tea with sugar packets and powder coffee creamer. Sometimes there's free breakfast by donation or free pizza lunches. The only problem is I've had utensils, containers, water bottles and mugs stolen from me, or tossed out by the cleaners who are ordered to throw out stuff left on the counters after a certain time. I ended up having to replace stuff every week.

Needing a co-signer isn't always about good credit. Some management agencies want a certain number of years of rental history, a certain number of years employed with the same company with enough income. And sometimes that's still not enough. That, and I've had some friends whose parents put credit cards in their names just to end up racking up debt and wrecking their credit.

Look out for markets/stores where they sell the stuff which cannot be sold in a regular store.
e.g. where I live, every saturday there is a market for fruit, veggies which aren't looking fresh enough anymore or doesn't comply with the standarts (apples not big enough, cucumbers not straight enough)
>visit it with friends, everyone put the same amount of money in one pot, shop together, split up everything according to needings.
We're 4, everyone gives 5€ and is happy with the result. It's cheaper to shop as a group, than alone.
----
In addition there is a store selling stuff, mostly where the "best use before"-date is nearby and not of use anymore, but shouldn't be wasted.
It's great for big families, b/c mostly there are packages made for restaurants/diners - so... like... a package of 20 cordon bleu for less than 5€

Sounds contrary, but buy a whiteboard or chalkboard for your kitchen to fight wasting food and organize meals and shopping.
We have three parts:
1. Upcoming meals. (Ingredients at home.)
2. Best by dates of stuff in the fridge. (Like fish or self-prepared foo)
3. Need to buy next shopping day.
This helps a lot to avoid wasting food and keep track of things that need to be bought. Esp. the best-by-dates-list is awesome.
We moved the meal plan to a huge self-made chalkboard now which even looks stylish in the dining room :)

This is what I try to do and I've stopped buying stuff I tell myself I should eat when I know I'm not going to. Since I live within just a block of the grocery store, not a cheap one but it's the only one that doesn't require taking a bus to, I go to that one every other day for a few things instead of taking a bus, paying for a sheet of bus tickets for me and my kid, go down to the cheap-ish grocery store for a big haul of food to last the next 2 or 3 weeks and taking a cab back home to transport the groceries.

Save any leftover bits of meat & veggies. Freeze each in clear bags & put them into 1 freezer bag. Soon you can make soup or a stir fry. If cheese is going bad, grate & Freeze. Eggs can be frozen if they are getting old. Whip each egg & put in an ice tray. Fine for cooking with. Make your own pancakes, waffles, & French toast to Freeze instead of buying. Stock up on staples when on sale. Just 1 extra can, box of pasta, bag of sugar - whatever you can afford (including toiletries). It will begin to add up to a useful stockpile quickly. Use 3/4# of ground meat instead of 1#. You really won't miss it & those 1/4# add up. Milk can be frozen, but remove 1 cup for expansion. Add powdered milk & whole milk to make 2% cheaper. When you buy bread, put 2 slices in a sandwich bag. Put in a freezer bag. Thaw as needed, takes seconds -no more moldy bread. Make frozen dinners w/ leftovers-great for lunches or busy nights. I'm sure there are more, but we did all this when our kids were little to save

Cellphones do not need to cost $75 - $100 dollars. Look at your data plan, how much do you really use. You can switch to a smaller company, usually inside retail stores, they cost a fraction of the three big carriers, and run on the same network. You could go from $100, down to $40.
Cable, get rid of it. It's a Ponzi scheme. All you need is unlimited internet. You can stream movies, and tv from it. Streaming services are hit and miss, on content, that's on you.
Pack your lunch, you'll save a good chunk right there.
Reusable drinking bottle, a good one. A bit pricey up front, will pay for itself in the long run.
Fill up your gas tank. I know some folks are going to say, "I can't afford that.", or "I only can do $20 for now.". This a mental state. You THINK it's cheaper, when in actuality it's more expensive. It cost $20 on Monday to put gas in the car, then $20 on Thursday, to finish the week, but you still had to get gas again on Sunday, another $20. Same scenario, you fill up the tank on Monday, $52, lasts till next Monday. I know, that's just 6 bucks. You also didn't go to the gas station 2 more times. You just saved time and money. Boom.
This last bit is the oldest piece of advice, since consumerism.
You get what you pay for.
Buy cheap sh!t, you get cheap sh!t.
Buy a quality product that costs more, lasts longer than cockroaches.
I have more, this will start you out.

I have so many...
- Laptops - do not buy new. All my laptops have come from ebay over the past 25 years, I've never spent more than $250 on one. My current one has a backlit keyboard, i7 processor, 16gb ram, 1T HD, excellent sound system (sub woofer on bottom). I'm on year 5 and it still works great.
- Don't rule out refurbished products. I got my $400 Dyson vacuum for $165. On year 3 and still works like new.
- No grubhub or 3rd party delivery service. No one needs a $20 big mac.
- Buy a reliable econo car outright - No loans means you don't have to have to have increased insurance. This saves me $1,100 a year. (ignore this if your friends have nicknamed you Captain Crunch because of your bad driving)
- Don't have the money to buy it outright? I paid for mine with a credit card convenience check. I found one that had a 15 month at 0% interest promo rate and split the payments over that period. Paid no interest, plus got to own it right away.
- Drink coffee at home or at work where it's free.
- Look at your weekly flyer from the supermarket. Stock up on sale items.
- Buy an additional freezer to store stuff you scored on sale. It will pay for itself after a year.
- Stay away from Apple products. Their entire business model is charging through the roof for a substandard product that you'll have to replace too quickly.
- Do not buy designer anything. You don't need it, you may as well set fire to your money if you buy them. You're paying for the name, not the product.
- If you have mid to long length hair, get a CreaClip and cut it yourself. I've saved a TON doing this.
- Have a mortgage? See if you can refinance. I refinanced my 30 year mortgage 3 times, getting a better rate each time, which allowed me to pay it off in 15 years.
- No going out for drinks regularly. At $10-$15 a pop, they add up.
- Cook at home. Go pick up some take-out or go out to a restaurant no more than twice a month. No delivery, the fees + tips add up.
- Be smart buying clothes, again no designer anything. I find a lot of good deals from places like Venus and Kohl's. And always search for a promo code.

Invest in a vacuum sealer. Buy in bulk. Buy things, especially meats when they are on sale, seal, label and freeze. By vacuum sealing them, you avoid nasty freezer burn. Buy cheaper cuts and learn how to cook them for soups, stews, etc. Keep veggy scraps in the freezer until you have enough to make your own stock. Basically free and much better than store bought stock.

Every few months go through your drawers and really scrutinize if you really need that item. Put all the items you don't really need or want in a bag or a box, take a picture of each one and post them on Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji, or ebay. But before you come up with a price, check out how much that item is being sold for by others. (You never know if you have something worthy of more value.)
Any extra money you get out of your usual income, don't spend it if you don't absolutely need to. Bring it to the bank and open a RRSP or Trust Fund. Or perhaps a bond where the money can grow. (It may depend on how much you have to save.)
Think of free activities to do. Go out for walks and explore the neighbourhood. We like to look at houses and how they are structured and landscaped. Hang out at the park more, go for picnics, toss the frisbee with friends, play ball. Look for free events and activities scheduled around town.
Saving money for artists/hobbyists:
I like to paint with oils, acrylics and do various projects to fix up my home, and make it more personalized. This can be super costly.
Avoid expensive art stores, like Michaels, or look for sales (especially if you're just doing it for fun.). Sometimes thrift stores sell art supplies but check out the quality first.
When buying paint, picking colours can be overwhelming. Stick with the primary colours, first: Yellow (Medium/Cadmium), White (Titanium), Black, Red (Cadmium), Cerulean Blue.
Just use an old plate or something hard and easy to wipe off that doesn't absorb the paint (like wood). You don't necessarily need to buy a painter's palette.
You can buy a book pad of canvas paper instead of canvas boards or wood framed canvases. Or take advantage of the canvas pack deals.
Do not throw out anything that can be salvaged, including paintings you don't like. Just sand down the clumps and brush strokes, Gesso it, and start anew.
Learn to take care of your paint brushes and clean them properly so you don't have to replace them. You don't need a ton of different brushes. It'll depend on your technique preferences but you should only have 3 or 4 different types of brushes in your arsenal.
Acrylic painting is much cheaper than oil painting. Water colour maybe even more affordable.
If you are an oil painter, do not throw out your Terpenoid just because it's murky and paint is settling in the bottom of the jar. You may only need to change it out once a year or less, depending on how often you clean your brushes. (And for the love of all that's Holy, DO NOT dump paint thinner down the drain, and DO NOT throw anything like paper towels, containing paint thinner in the garbage. Dump it in a separate jar, put that paper towel in a designated jar with a lid. Take it to the chemical waste plant.)

Unfortunately for those who are heavy smokers (thankfully I'm not one of them); it's really hard for them to be able to break that cycle. Obviously theu shouldn't spend it all on food but they also need another outlet to help them quit. Yes, there's helplines out there but not every smoker out there who knows they need help with their addiction will actually do that. I know someone that actually resorted to buying sunflower seeds to help them quit smoking. So whenever they had the hankering to want to smoke, they ate sunflower seeds instead. This will not apply to everyone tho. Unfortunately for some ppl out there if they smoke mostly when drinking alcohol, they will have to stop drinking alcohol altogether in order to help themselves to quit smoking. But they also need to be careful not to resort to junk food like ice cream and candy for example.

Want it vs need it helps as does sleeping on it. Buy pretty but practical things if you love pretty things (e.g. sparkly shoes instead of plain black). Eat the food you have at home instead of eating out even if you don't want to eat the food at home (https://twitter.com/Commandr_nchief/status/1513857299936423948 is stuck on my fridge now especially with this reply: https://twitter.com/CrystalBLive/status/1513881819149709319). I personally find it cheaper to get my groceries delivered because I can then avoid impulse buys. Learn to bake and you can make cake and biscuits and things at home (not always cheaper but then you have a whole cake instead of a slice and can freeze the left over).
Have a budget and stick to it but make sure to put some money for fun things in that. Even poor people deserve the odd treat or splurge item. Don't stress over much about saving for a rainy day if you are constantly living in a rainy day.

If possible, try to live off of 70% of your income, and save the rest on a savings account. Only buy things you actually need, and look for sales, (avoid Black Friday Sales)

Don’t carry cash with you. If you do, make sure it’s larger bills because you will spend it faster if it’s a smaller bill.
