Normally, I try my best to be pretty good with my money. But the recent price hikes have been super stressful, so I’ve also been cutting down expenses even more. I decided to share all my tips and tricks in case it helps anyone else!

Note: Cutting back expenses absolutely does not fix the widespread problem of businesses paying people less than fair, livable wages. Folks can only do so much. The exploitation of workers — while companies make record profits — is disgusting and needs to change. But hopefully something on this list will help you out until society gets its shit together.
