Where can I ask for money-saving or frugal living tips?

A frugality community for practical ways to save money — commercial-free, with no requests for financial aid.

r/Frugal is about thinking carefully about how you use money, time and other resources. It is a discussion and advice space, not a deals board or a place to ask for help paying bills. Budgeting and debt questions are better on the personal-finance page.

r/Frugal

Best for: Practical ways to cut everyday costs and live more frugally.

Why it fits: Its public description: “Frugality is the mental approach we each take when considering our resource allocations. It includes time, money, convenience, and many other factors.”
