I just cut costs with a few practical strategies. Start by tracking my expenses to see where my money goes and focus on essentials instead of what I want. Save by cooking at home, buying in bulk, and using discounts or coupons. Reduce bills by negotiating rates, canceling unused subscriptions, and switching to energy efficient habits. I always use public transportation to lower travel costs and try DIY solutions for small tasks to avoid hiring help. I buy secondhand items, which allows me to save money without compromising quality. Planning and sticking to a budget can help me to avoid unnecessary expenses and build a solid financial foundation.
