I wouldn’t call it that. I would say it’s living within your means. For example not going to Starbucks everyday. Coffee and creamer is $15 and lasts a month. That’s only 1 coffee for some people at Starbucks.

The point is that both are the same as “save money” when they should be giving more specific advice. Two pieces of good actionable advice have been given. “Just save money” is not a useful tip for “how to save money”

Every time I try this, half the food goes bad and I save nothing. Yes I am using a fridge.

Somewhat same, but for me I’m just trying to cook more at home. Not necessarily save money. (Though it’s still nice.) Have you compared the costs? It could be that even if you throw out half it’s still cheaper, ya know? Or maybe closer to breaking even than you realize.
