Most things.

Clothes. Don’t do big home renos. We drive acuras but keep them 10-12 years. No cable king before it was cool. No cleaners or yard people.

I only buy used refurbished iPhones.

Bags, jewelry

So many things. Hotels. Restaurants. Clothes. Cars. Cheap furniture.

But we vacation often (cheaply) and we have an awesome beach house and boat. And we don’t cheap out on mental health care and educational services for our kids.

Clothes. We are UMC and I just can’t make myself shop for nice clothes. I still hunt for sales and shop at Target. I need help.

Eating out. Rather cook at home.

Cars, clothes. Car needs to work and clothes need to be comfortable. Both those can be find in cheaply.

We don’t own a TV or have any streaming services.

A used luxury car is not cheap. This is an area where you’re slightly more frugal.

Out of curiosity, why?

More specifically, do you prefer to save a lot of money instead?

I do my own yard work, including mowing and spring/fall clean up and mulching. I enjoy every aspect of it.

Paying more than something is worth, like a $6 soda at a hotel, even though I can afford it (I also don’t drink soda but my kids get it on vacation). I really dislike paying such a markup for things so I’ll go to convenience stores to buy things instead.
