5. Re-wear Clothes (Calm Down, Not the Socks)
Not everything you wear once needs washing.
Jeans? Easily 3–5 wears.
Sweaters? A week.
Pajamas? Depends who’s asking.
Washing less means less water, less detergent, and clothes that last longer — not to mention more time saved.
Bonus: The smell test is underrated science.
6. DIY Pet Bags & Toy Repairs
If you’ve got pets, you know the “little things” add up — toys, poop bags, treats, all of it.
Frugal folks reuse what they already have: leftover grocery bags, zip-seal food bags, even old shirts turned into chew toys.
And when Fido rips a toy? A few stitches instead of a new purchase.
Your dog won’t care — he just wants you (and the squeak back).
