Comment on anon discusses car dependence

Depends on how many people live in your household and what you eat. You can spend even less if you’re only cooking for one and most meals are ‘beans and rice’-level.

I’d assume that the hard part is actually finding an affordable place in a somewhat walkable neighborhood, especially if you don’t want to live in a one-room apartment.

Also if you are walking to the store, you are limiting the amount you can buy as you have to transport it back home. I have a nice little collapsible cart I use. Even that fills up and gets heavy once you are adding beverages.

  Adding beverages is wasting money anyway, just drink water

    Shut the fuck up. –
    
    REMEMBER THE ONLY WAY TO BE FRUGAL IS TO NEVER DO ANYTHING THAT BRINGS YOU PLEASURE, OR EAT ANYTHING BUT BEANS/RICE AND DRINK ONLY WATER.
    
    This is what people who say shit like that sound to folks who know that life is not meant to just be survived, but enjoyed.

    Tbh, most beverage you get at stores have way to much sugar for my taste. But the quality of tap water also varies wildly around the world. I wouldn’t drink it as much if I lived in a place where it was chlorinated.

    Yes, but I generally drink from the tap.

    If you live in a place with good water it’s both healthy and tasty

  True, you’re definitely missing out on a lot of bulk items, especially when you’re living in a smaller apartment and don’t even have the space to store 10 pound bags. And you pretty much have to go to the store multiple times a week.
