I’ve had to stop buying tofu, it’s too expensive. I also used to buy myself a cake from the local fancy bakery once or twice a month but had to jib that

    Bread. I started making my own and it’s way better and cheaper than the cheapest stuff from the store. And it’s easier to make than I expected.

    Laundry. It costs $6 Canadian (maybe more now) per load, so I do it by hand in a plastic bin in the bathtub and dry it on a rack with a fan for now, since it’s winter. It works surprisingly well.

    Eating out. My grocery budget is small but I make it work. It’s easy to spend a week’s worth of the budget on one meal at a restaurant, so I just don’t.

    Going out in general, to things like movies and concerts. Not just the cost of entry, but also the wear and tear on my car and potential repair costs, and price of gas, make it not worth it. I have enough fun enjoying my hobbies at home anyway.
