5 Habits of the Super Frugal You Should Copy (to save big)

Before you freak out… have you ever stopped to think about how expensive a trip to the barber or salon is? You could be spending hundreds of dollars throughout the year or even in one trip!

You find plenty of how-to videos on Youtube for other things right?

There are also videos for cutting your own hair or someone else’s hair.

Truth be told, this is much easier for men to do with a pair of clippers, so it might be worth having a go.

A short back and sides aren’t that difficult to master.

If you wanted to avoid going back to the bowl cuts, you can also try and find a student hairdresser, who can cut your hair at a reduced price to give them more experience (but hopefully still a good quality cut).

Pro Tip: If you need to purchase clippers or any other accessories, be sure to sign up for Ebates/Rakuten and install the browser extension.

You will earn cash back rewards by shopping at partner sites.

Best of all, Rakuten works in the background. It’s always searching for cash back opportunities.

4. Freeze Food You Wouldn’t Normally Think To Freeze

We’d all freeze that extra loaf of bread or microwave meal that we didn’t get ‘round to tucking into, but you can actually freeze a lot more foods than you might think.

Not only would this stop food waste, but it will also save those precious pennies by using up food you’ve already bought.

Here are a list of different items safe to freeze, and the methods to do it (don’t forget to earn free cash back on all of these grocery items with Ibotta) :

• Milk (in a carton)
• Cheese (but only grated)
• Bananas (in any form)
• Eggs (crack each egg into a muffin tin)
• Grapes (you can even use them as ice cubes once frozen, and they are great for making smoothies)
• Baked goods (all cookies, cakes and muffins can go straight in)

5. Sell Your Toilet Paper Cardboard

And you thought just toilet paper was valuable, didn’t you?

Those cardboard rolls in the middle of your toilet paper might actually be worth a bit of cash!

This is because they can be used for arts and crafts, and you are able to sell them on places like eBay and Facebook Marketplace.

It might not make you rich, but it’ll mean you get a bit of money back on your toilet paper purchases.

The going rate is around $5 per 50 empty rolls, so it could be a cool little side hustle.

If you’re crafty, you could use them with your kids too instead of buying new ones.
