How do you guys go about being frugal and generally just saving money on unnecessary shit? Morally dubious methods are welcome.
Some of the tactics I currently employ:
>buy a super thick duvet, throw on floor, cover in blankets as needed and use as a bed; faster and easier to make than a bed, costs only 5% as much and is just as comfy >pretty much only ever drink water, healthy and free >take caffeine tablets instead of drinking coffee, if coffee is desired buy in bulk and put in a thermos rather than buy super expensive shit while out and about >split wifi/internet bill with next door neighbour, don't own a TV or landline because who needs that shit anymore >buy ingredients on their own and cook your own food rather than buy stupidly expensive ready meals >pay for prostitutes rather than have the constant financial drain of a girlfriend, also more free time to work on your career >don't have any friends so no need to waste money and time on things such as fun or hobbies >library passes these days are practically free, use it as a place to work on a laptop for free, no unnecessary expenditure on heating, lighting or electricity, some even have showers or will allow access to a gym shower if you really want to be a scrounger >steal money from beggars
There's plenty more out there but those are just some sensible ones to start.
>live at home with your parents >buy a cheap Honda Civic that is 10 years old and drive it until it dies >invest in da stock market >live a spartan/minimalist life >go to the strip club and pay for 1 beer; instead of getting a lap dance just go near a stripper and sniff her pussy.

Buying a fucking $1000 bed is a meme (maitress + bed frame) just get the duvet is great advice.
Also
>buy a used 3 years old flag ship phone for a fraction of the price ($200-300) >Don't put a SIM in it, instead just use wifi to call >Get a pernament VoIP local phone number for $5 per month using Hush App >This tip alone saves you thousands of dollars

>pay for prostitutes rather than have the constant financial drain of a girlfriend, also more free time to work on your career A prostitute is pretty expensive where I live so I'd go with a girlfriend also because men here aren't expected to buy them shit because they have their own money. But if I was you I'd probably change the prostitutes with boipucci or fat women >don't have any friends so no need to waste money and time on things such as fun or hobbies That's sad :( Friends are good to have! it is possible to have fun with friends without using money. >library passes these days are practically free, use it as a place to work on a laptop for free, no unnecessary expenditure on heating, lighting or electricity, some even have showers or will allow access to a gym shower if you really want to be a scrounger this one's pretty good. >steal money from beggars Rude! That is so sad
I will add: >never buy food out! prepare food at home for work etc. >buy food in bulk to save money when there's cheap offers. >buy used clothing in second hand stores and used books on amazon >look in the ''forgotten things'' box for new clothing and accessories >use the gym at your work/school instead of a regular gym membership >DONT FUCKING SMOKE CIGARETTES >Don't go clubbing >don't do drugs >use a bike instead of bus or car

It's a good idea to use a duvet. you could also put a pallet under so that it is lifted just a little bit above the floor

That's kinda heartless >walk/bike everywhere This one's good >wash clothes manually Does this really save money? >use piss to give plants free nutrients I'll try this one

I decreased my electricity bill by 5 euros by unplugging wash machine completely. It consumes electricity even when it's not doing anything.
Unplug every device that is not used at that moment. Those "sleep" and "stand-by" modes are insidious.
