As the cost of basic consumer goods continues to be much higher than a year ago, frugality is fast becoming its own art form. I hope the following encouraging tips from your fellow readers on how to be a frugal rockstar will inspire all of us to pay attention and embrace ways we can immediately begin to see more money left in our wallets.
Over the past six months, I’ve been on a tear to declutter and get organized. It has made a huge impact on my spending. Basically, I’ve stopped spending money on stuff I have already but just didn’t know where to find it. The key is knowing what you have and finding it when needed. If you can’t find your stuff easily, you might buy something you already have or, even worse, believe you got rid of it, buy a replacement, and then find the original shortly after.—Millie, New Jersey
