  • -Track your spending: you might not notice how a little splurging here and there adds up to a significant chunk of your budget.

    -Buy things on sale: items that you like in the store can probably be found cheaper online, or wait until there is a sale if it’s not urgent. Things that are used often but don’t expire can be bought in bulk when they are on sale and stored for future use.

    -Buy winter clothes in summer and summer clothes in winter - leftover stock from previous seasons will be sold at a steep discount.

    -Learn to cook if you don’t already, especially with grains, legumes, and other filling but inexpensive products.

    -Replace brand name items with house brands when possible. There is usually not a significant difference in quality (with some exceptions).

    -Before buying something new, ask yourself how often you will really use it and whether you already have something similar.

    Modern minimalism has its advantages - less things to clean and maintain, cheaper to build, and easily being able to find things to pair with the color scheme - but I always did find it a bit dull and sterile for a private home.
