For me I generally pirate most books I read, although if there is a book I really enjoyed I will buy the physical copy.

I also generally tend to avoid having takeaways because they are just so expensive in this day and age with inflation and tend to opt for cheap meals like pasta or rice etc.

Also I don't pay for any streaming services, but borrow a VPN service from a friend to pirate the movies I watch.

Curious to hear of some ways that you people here save money.

Make a weekly menu, pin it on the fridge and stick to it. Then buy only the ingredients needed.

The key of success is to be lucid and plan 1 or 2 lazy day, with pizzas or whatever, dishes that don't need any effort to make.

You'll save a ton in groceries, and will waste almost nothing. Bonus point : you can generate the menus with an AI.

But why?

Didn’t AI make up a recipe for chlorine gas for someone? I’m with you 100% up to the bonus point though.

It's not like you won't notice if the AI tells you to pour cleaning products into your stir fry.
