Cheapskate Life Hacks - Th3HulK - Oct 20, 2026
What's a completely legal, slightly weird thing you do to save money that would make most people think you're crazy? I wash and reuse Ziploc bags, and I cut my own hair. It saves a fortune but I hide it from my friends. Share your best penny-pinching secrets.

I save those plastic food containers you get at like chinese food places or whatever
I mean why not... you can wash em and reuse so no harm in saving them

I always plan my meals for the week ahead.
It helps me save money and avoid buying unnecessary groceries.

Yea, they are reusable, so they always seem to come in handy

That's a lot of planning, are you a chef by any chance?

Whenever I make a large order I save the big brown boxes as storage for my model kits.
