Our column about fave frugal hacks proved that for thrifty Open Thread readers, the sky’s the limit for creativity and smarts.
The library was a favorite stop for Readers Heidi, Elly and Bobbie F. among many others. Shopping at thrift stores (thanks Debbie and Delores!) and using cloth instead of paper products got a lot of love.
Top Tip: Ask!!
The top tip mentioned by Reader Sara and many others: ask retailers and vendors if they offer any senior discounts and honor any AARP membership offers.
Coupon Queens and Kings
Reader Susan T. and her hubby share the crown with this tip:
…”digital coupons each week. My husband and I both clip them on our phones. I recently had a trip where I would have spent $210 but got the total reduced to $140 saving $70…”
…followed by Reader Beverly…
“I go to the website of products that I use and sign up for their newsletters. They often have coupons listed on the website for different items…”
-Beverly
Reader Kim is a power saver, offering several smart ideas for saving money…
“…Make your meal choice for the week based on what you have in your pantry and what is on sale. Always check the major drug stores for coupons, BOGO, senior saver days and rewards programs….”
Plenty more in her comment – read them all.

Eco-warrior savers
Just ahead of Earth Day, Readers Nancy C., Kathy, Dru (a fellow Tightwad Gazette fan!), and Dave combine thrift with environmental savvy…
I use Stasher bags (silicone re-usable storage bags), BeesWrap (re-usable beeswax coated sheets to cover plates or bowls, wrap sandwiches & bread), & good old (and I do mean old) Tupperware.
-Nancy C.
Savvy Streamers
Regular Reader Cleta shares her smart strategy to save on streaming services.
“…take advantage of free or preview rates for streaming services. Make sure to mark your calendar so you cancel before your card (which is required for sign up) is charged. If you wish to keep the service you may be able to negotiate for a rate lower than the monthly premium; ask for a manager.”

Original Text:
Frugal hacks – all our penny-saving tips and tricks – add up to dollars while giving us a sense of accomplishment worth millions.
I felt like I hit the lottery yesterday…because I figured out a workaround for my ancient printer and it now makes copies again. With taxtime around the corner, who has the dough to buy a new printer?
My fella teases me that everything I own is at least 40 years old (including him, ha) but a lifetime of thrift has given me frugal hacks that still work:
My fave? Pulling the plugs out for appliances until I have to use them. It saved me about $11 in utility costs last month. I can wait the extra 30 seconds until the TV and cable powers on.
Next up: Home made potato chips. I have no will power regarding any fried potato item in a crisp cellophane bag. And those flavors!
However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national average price of a 16-ounce bag of potato chips for February 2023 was $6.17. But I can buy a 5 lb. bag of russet’s for about $5, slice them thin in my mandoline, hit ’em with butter spray, microwave for about six minutes and – presto! Chips! Probably fewer calories, too.
Customer service credits: For the third consecutive day, my internet and phone went down – during working hours, no less. I called customer service and politely pointed out that this was more than a mere inconvenience. She gave me a $10 credit and put me on a list for an automatic credit next time the system drops for at least four hours. Every little bit helps.
YOUR TURN
But that’s me. What are your fave frugal hacks? Share your tips in the comments!

When we rv’d we put used toilet paper in a bag next to the toilet and took that out with the garbage. This kept the drain from the toilet from getting clogged.
The Numi tea bags from Whole Foods are so full of fabulous tea, Rooibus Chai, my fave, that they can be used more than once.
Chewy.com is affordable, have an easy to navigate website, and they quickly deliver right to your door.
I volunteer at a local food bank run by a Lutheran church, w get amazing foods including a 50 lb bag of cat food which we but in zip lock bags and people took it! We also get donated wheat tortilla’ by the local bakers on occasion they will not sell to the public but will donate some to us and they are fresh and soo good! Nearly every church has a food bank and they are hard to find but worth it for the good food available. Here in Denver/Aurora a food bank is open every day of the week!
ask any store where I shop if they offer senior discounts or accept AARP cards- Got a discount at O’Reilys Auto store on a car battery, Yippee.
senior discounts at Wendy’s- sign up for digital coupons
My happy place is thrifting. I rarely buy any new clothing and have so much fun finding great stuff for very little. I find top-name brands and even boutique pieces in great — sometimes new — condition. Most pieces are less than $5. If I find that I don’t like something, or I’m tired of it, I donate it back.
Hi Libby, I live in Bucks County and we have several thrift stores here that are very large, I do prefer the smaller ones but the bigger ones are very organized by color and by item such as blouses, tops, pants, shoe and even household items!
So I agree, I don’t get there much now because of balance problems but they are the best places to shop. I do hope more people use them, it keeps all this clothing from going into landfills, so it helps the environment also❤️
Our Jewel (Albertson’s) has amazing digital coupons each week. My husband and I both clip them on our phones. I recently had a trip where I would have spent $210 but got the total reduced to $140 saving $70. If there is a limit on an item like one pound of butter for $2.49, my husband and I both go to the store so we each get one. And then I freeze what I don’t need right away.
Make your meal choice for the week based on what you have in your pantry and what is on sale. Always check the major drug stores for coupons, BOGO, senior saver days and rewards programs. Shop at thrift stores. Paperbacks are cheap and sometimes there are brand new items with the tags still on. Plus you are supporting a charity. Some libraries also have a store for books. My county libraries offer classes in drawing, painting, computers and more. All free.
Hi Kim , you’re a library user so you’re probably aware of Hoopla and Kanopy.
I love that you know about free classes. Ours also has free online classes to learn like bookkeeping or other skills that you become certified in. Helpful if you’re looking for some work. All free.
My name is Lydia. I don’t know much about the internet. I am a beginner and would like to learn about it.
Why not check out our classes? Link is here.
I use Stasher bags (silicone re-usable storage bags), BeesWrap (re-usable beeswax coated sheets to cover plates or bowls, wrap sandwiches & bread), & good old (and I do mean old) Tupperware. There’s an initial cost, but our world does not need more plastic wrap or ziplock bags in our landfills. If I do use a ziplock bag, its washed & re-used several times. I also use smart technology to control lights, TV, and thermostat with on/off sched set to my needs.
I use a microfiber cloth to clean glass, mirrors, fixtures, countertops, anything non porous; it works with water and I ALWAYS get a streakless clean and don’t have to buy glass cleaner.
Also, take advantage of free or preview rates for streaming services. Make sure to mark your calendar so you cancel before your card (which is required for sign up) is charges. If you wish to keep the service you may be able to negotiate for a rate lower than the monthly premium; ask for a manager.
I stopped using paper napkins… bought a lot of low cost cotton ones. I’m also trying not to use paper towels as much and purchased microfiber cloths for all my cleaning chores.
I save every conceivable plastic, paper, or cardboard container to use as garbage bags. I refuse to spend money on something to put garbage in and throw away. Yep, even usps/Amazon/ups delivered items come in bags or boxes which I recycle as garbage bags. I am careful to work with my buildings required sorted garbage items. Be imaginative and resourceful.
Good job, Susan…me too! And my garbage service offers compost bins that turn not only yard waste, but every piece of soiled paper that can’t be recycled, into compost: napkins, paper plates, paper towels, pizza boxes, etc. Also I avoid plastic picnic utensils when I can find bamboo, which I can toss in the compost bin as well!
That’s wonderful. There is a compost service here that we signed up for. Since it goes to a commercial composting facility you can even put bones in. I’m hoping our little town will offer a similar service, but until they do, all that stinky stuff isn’t going in the trash!
Thanks! Good ones ;-)
That sounds wonderful that composting service; we don’t have that in our area! Maybe this is done in more rural areas, it does sound beneficial and I know some people make their own! Good for outside and inside plants!
I call my cable company and ask if there are any promotions for seniors, usually there are, I just had my bill reduced by 60 dollars, usually for 6 months to a year, then as soon as it goes back to its original, I call again. Everytime , I get a reduction. In NY, some McDonalds sell senior coffee. For a buck. People just don’t ask.
My favorite frugal hacks?
Repurposing jewelry — my long cultural pearl necklace became interesting again when I wrapped it around my wrist as a bracelet.
Losing weight — then I was able to wear clothing in the back of my closet, instead of buying new larger sizes!
Bartering — exchanging clothes, books and furniture pieces with like-minded friends. Personal swap meets!
Hi Virge,
I have a slightly different approach to frugality. Since LEDs consume so little electricity, I use them freely and happily!
I leave an LED light on ALL THE TIME in every major room of the house (usually 60-watt equivalent). At night, I don’t have to blind myself by turning on the bright lights, nor will I have the expense of an injury from walking in darkness (and have saved myself from countless stubbed toes and cracked shins). Comfort without risk – worth many dollars!
My absolute fave frugal hack is reading great regular books and ebooks and watching movies on the Hoopla app from the local library. I also read a wide assortment of current magazines on the library’s Libby app. All for free. Saves a ton of money. I learned about this from the Dollar Stretcher blogs I get via email .
And SO much less clutter! I kept a book journal for a few years and realized I read about 50 books a year (print, electronic and audio). I challenged myself to stop buying unless I had read, loved and had to own a book. Mostly I use library resources, like you. Books at local yard sales and twice yearly library sales are 2 dollars and under, occasionally I visit a local used book warehouse. Most I read and re-donate; I only add 3-5 books a year. I saved at least $2500. over 3 years!
Love My Library Free Resources!
I still know people who can barely use a cell phone – I always say have you called the library they prob have a 1on1 class
I have followed Amy Dacyczyn’s tips from the Tightwad Gazette for years, so I have almost too many tips to list. One is to use cloth napkins at all times — we usually use one for two or three days before washing. it’s easy to throw cloth napkins in the wash, they take next to no space, and that will save bundles on your paper budget. I’ve been making my own bread which takes five minutes to put together and is healthy and delicious using bread-maker Jim Lahey’s recipe.https://www.theclevercarrot.com
Thanks for the link re bread making.
we’re simple eaters usually ground chicken or turkey & a couple side dishes like noodles or potatoes but my easy shortcuts are costing more. And a frozen bag of veggies barely makes 2 servings sometimes . I’m moving toward more fresh sides esp now with farmers markets opening
I’m a reformed fabric purchaser who loves to quilt. Moved to a city that has a Remainders creative reuse store. With the help of Pinterest I’ve learned the art of scrap quilting. Former cost hundreds of dollars per month – now 3 bags $15.
I love and eat many citrus fruits. So after eating my oranges, limes, grapefruits I save their peels, dry them for a day or two then break them into smaller pieces and use them in the garbage disposal for a refreshing smell for the sink’s drain . It’s a pleasant , natural and free way to use all of the fruit.
coupons, coupons, coupons!! I go to the website of products that I use and sign up for their newsletters. They often have coupons listed on the website for different items. Sometimes the coupons give me a chance to buy and use something that I wouldn’t normally purchase from them.
Anybody have a suggestion on pet food. Feeding 2 dogs & a cat isn’t getting any cheaper (& litter). Thanks!
We use Costco dog and cat food (vet approves), but my best tip is for shots. We found a spay/neuter clinic that also provides routine vaccinations for both our pets at a fraction of a veterinarian’s cost. Here’s the link for Tucson:
