Where $1,000/week for life is retirement money.
This subreddit is meant to be a community of those who lead frugal, urban, and hermit-like lifestyles. You don't have to fit all or even any of those descriptions, we'll accept you just the same. Here we discuss how to make the most of the lives we've chosen to live.
This subreddit is meant to be a community of those who lead frugal, urban, and hermit-like lifestyles. You don't have to fit all or even any of those descriptions, we'll accept you just the same. (You can also live on less than $1000/week.) Here we discuss how to make the most of the lives we've chosen to live.
This sub will be used for tips, advice, frugality, general discussion, and an overall place for love and support for a community that is often misunderstood.
Here is great writeup of the typical Frugal Urban Hermit, written by our spiritual father, /u/WoobyWiott.

Rule 1 - Posts must in some way pertain to living a lifestyle in line with the ideas of frugality, urban living, and hermitude. For example, if a post is about living alone in a house in suburbs, that's fine. If a post is about living frugally in a rural area, it has violated Rule 1 and will be removed.
Rule 2 - Absolutely no content is allowed that violates reddiquette. Reddiquette can be found here.
Rule 3 - No rudeness, sexism, racism, etc. Be a decent human being.

The dictionary definition of frugal doesn't specify any specific amount. I don't think we really need to have a base number in mind to understand the spirit of frugality.
Finding yourself out of the house without a packed lunch? Trying to eat a meal before your next activity in the city? You're probably within a mile of a big sandwich loaded with veggies for under $10 and isn't a burger.
Also, at some Subways you can get a personal-sized cheese pizza for like $5 and load it up with as many veggies and sauces as you want. A lot of times they don't have it on the menu, so I always ask.
From 2013-2016 I spent most of my waking hours in San Francisco, but I slept in a house in an unpopular part of Oakland for $500/month. Just a mile from the train station, I could leave my front door and be in SF in as short as 20 minutes.
I'm 18 years old and currently I live by myself, on about 300$ per month (rent 150$ + food etc).
Which threshold (money spent/time) would you consider for true frugality?
hello everyone
I am going to tell you about one of my biggest pride in cooking
A porridge that is filling and 100% cheap
Here are the ingredients that you'll need
-250g of flour, the cheapest available (~44ct for 1kilo so 11ct for the preparation)
-a cheap packet of an onion instant soup (40 ct I use only half of it so only 20ct)
-canned dog food (300g for ~42ct)
-The cheapest can of tomato paste (~13ct)
-1 liter of water (free water, if you don't have tap water you can use water from school, the neighbor, or the pool)
finally, your porridge is only going to cost you roughly ~86ct
I can see people coming here and saying "ughh you eat dog food, you're disgusting" Did you know my friend that dog food undergoes exactly the same sterilization process as canned products intended for human consumption. And the nutritional qualities are IDENTICAL, just the price that changes ...
Going back to our porridge
take the ingredient and mix everything in a casserole till it becomes homogeneous, then cook over low heat for 1 / 2h
Here is the result, 2kg of porridge, enough to eat over the cases of about 3 days. And of course, on holidays I don't hesitate to add some ingredients like pasta
I hope you liked my recipe
Living in England, we're locked down again. Having no choice other than to be an urban hermit, and with no shops open, by default frugal, half of this country is now an UrbanFrugalHermit not by choice, but because of the 'rona. I wonder how many people will stick with it
