About this community: r/Frugal is about frugality as a resource mindset—money, time, and convenience—not a coupon dump or “beer money” hustle board. Rank #113 (about 6.9 million subscribers). Rules we collected ban affiliate links, most commercial solicitation, theft/piracy talk, and a long list of get-rich adjacent topics (crypto schemes, lost-money posts, etc.), which keeps the tone closer to waste-less living than deal spam.
