We only buy what we need. We use up all food and none goes to waste. We do small repairs and things ourselves rather than outsourcing them and we walk rather than taking the car where we can.

Great tips!
I recently discovered just how easy is is to DIY a lot of the car servicing that I’d usually get a mechanic to do, some things are SO easy and cheap to do yourself. YouTube is your friend 😜
