What’s a frugal trick you’ve chanced upon recently?
I accidentally semi-reinvented the “trencher”. Basically, in medieval times, food would be served on a slab of bread and that would kinda be the plate. Or, you know, bread bowls for soup and the like.
I have an air fryer, and I’ve learned I can line the basket in a large flour tortilla, and it generally keeps whatever I’m cooking/warming up from getting the pan too dirty aside from some easily knocked-out crumbs.
I hate washing things, and I hate wasting paper liners, so it lets me cut down on those, and I can just eat the tortilla.
I use a single blade safety razor. It saves me so much. I bought a pack of 100 blades for around £20 and they lasted me years before I had to buy more. Also the best shave I’ve had! I recently started using a shaving brush to save buying foams etc. The one soap bar has lasted over 4 months so far and I’m not even half way through it.
Lastly I started using soap instead of shower gel as I can buy packs of 3 for 99p. Saves me money and all this has reduced how much plastic im using too.
