10 Things We Rarely Buy That Most Families Pay Full Price For

Saving money and frugal living keep us debt free living on one income — here are the 10 things we rarely pay for that most families still do.

We aren’t saying these things are wrong for your family. We’re just showing you what we stopped — well, mostly stopped — paying for, and what we do instead on one income in rural Southwest Virginia. Some of these we gave up completely.

Some we just do differently — on sale, on clearance, or with a plan. From skipping food delivery (that LendingTree study on the delivery markup is wild — it’s linked below) to running one errand day a week instead of five trips to town, these 10 things quietly save us hundreds of dollars a year without us feeling like we’re missing out on anything.

If you’re new here, welcome! We’re a debt-free family who paid off over $250,000 in debt and now save big on every paycheck without feeling deprived.
