It\u2019s more of a continuum, with different approaches for different people. You can be frugal even if you don\u2019t sew all your own clothes, grow most of your food, make all your gifts or create all your own entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Frugal people can \u2014 and do! \u2014 eat in restaurants, buy vehicles, take vacations, pay for streaming services and splurge on things they really want. They just do it carefully.<\/p>\n<p>My own frugal mantra is this: \u201cI save where I can so I can spend where I want.\u201d Along with my frugal brethren, I make informed choices about my money and my life.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the things that smart frugal people never do.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Pay retail<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Alliance Images \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"329172\" class=\"size-full wp-image-329172 img-fluid\" alt=\"Happy shopper buying a coat on sale\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_1662917482-scaled.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Alliance Images \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Why would you want to pay the first price offered? Instead, frugal people use apps and browser extensions like Capital One Shopping, which unveil great deals you might never discover on your own. Seriously, check them out.<\/p>\n<p>Frugal people also avail themselves of post-holiday and clearance sales. They visit thrift stores and garage sales. The lucky ones are able to find just what they need in their local Buy Nothing Facebook groups, which means they\u2019re not paying at all.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Ignore cash back<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Prostock-studio \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"409058\" class=\"size-full wp-image-409058 img-fluid\" alt=\"happy man looking at phone\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_2075626777-scaled.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Prostock-studio \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can save a ton on the things you need with cash-back credit cards and cash-back programs. The savings may come in the form of rebates or in points you can trade in for gift cards or cash.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more in \u201cHere Are 9 Popular Coupon and Cash-Back Apps With Their Pros and Cons.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>3. Carry a credit card balance<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Olha Povozniuk \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"339006\" class=\"size-full wp-image-339006 img-fluid\" alt=\"Man shopping with credit card on his phone\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_1207866412-scaled.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Olha Povozniuk \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A persistent rumor is that carrying a credit card balance improves your credit score. It. Does. <em>NOT<\/em>. According to the Experian credit reporting company:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOutstanding balances on credit cards can even hurt your credit score, and this effect is most drastic once balances exceed about 30% of a card\u2019s borrowing limit. Those with the highest credit scores tend to keep credit utilization below 10%. Maintaining a zero balance by paying off all purchases in full each month is best of all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Carrying a balance means you\u2019re paying unnecessary interest (really, <em>why?<\/em>) and may indicate you\u2019re living beyond your means.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Ignore their health<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Monkey Business Images \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"370564\" class=\"size-full wp-image-370564 img-fluid\" alt=\"Patient smiling at his doctor\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_317585831-scaled.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Monkey Business Images \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Would you ignore that scary sound under the hood or would you take the car to a mechanic? The same rule applies to your body.<\/p>\n<p>An annual wellness exam can catch a small problem before it becomes huge. For example, suppose that stomachache you keep ignoring is a gall bladder problem; if diet change doesn\u2019t work, then outpatient laparoscopic surgery may take care of things.<\/p>\n<p>Or you could keep ignoring it, which might well lead to invasive emergency surgery and a hospital stay. Your call.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Spend their whole paycheck<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Syda Productions \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"231396\" class=\"size-full wp-image-231396 img-fluid\" alt=\"shopper\" width=\"3467\" height=\"2311\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_237249646.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Syda Productions \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You should aim to live <em>below<\/em> your means, not at them. Spending your entire paycheck means you have no savings. How will you cover the next emergency, let alone save for the future? Talk about a zero-sum game.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re spending carelessly or simply not earning enough, you need a plan. Look for a qualified financial advisor to help you get control of your cash.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Use buy now, pay later<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Travelpixs \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"381605\" class=\"size-full wp-image-381605 img-fluid\" alt=\"Woman shopping for pillows at a store\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_1450833440-scaled.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Travelpixs \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Buy now, pay later services \u2014 commonly referred to as BNPL \u2014 let you split the cost of a purchase into several payments. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a common plan is four interest-free biweekly payments.<\/p>\n<p>This could be a lifesaver in rare circumstances, such as \u201cteen grows out of shoes before single parent has a chance to save enough money to pay cash.\u201d Yet, this approach could lead that parent to buy only at retailers that use BNPL rather than shop around for the best deal.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, returns can be complicated, according to the CFPB, and you may not have the same dispute protection you\u2019d get with a credit card.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, though, BNPL plans help you develop an instant-gratification habit. Instead, adopt the smart frugal habit of skipping BNPL plans and sticking to your budget.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Waste food<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"BravissimoS \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"232530\" class=\"size-full wp-image-232530 img-fluid\" alt=\"Frozen vegetables and food\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FrozenFoodshutterstock_522663619.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">BravissimoS \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Grocery prices have soared in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Wasting food was never a good idea. Inflation makes food waste an even dumber idea.<\/p>\n<p>For tips on getting the most for your dollar and avoiding waste, see \u201cDon\u2019t Let These 8 Leftover Foods Go to Waste\u201d and\u00a0\u201c19 Ways to Make Your Groceries Last Longer.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>8. Pay bills late<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"WAYHOME studio \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"275795\" class=\"size-full wp-image-275795 img-fluid\" alt=\"Woman paying bills\" width=\"5511\" height=\"3674\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_592980839.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">WAYHOME studio \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On-time bill payment is the single biggest factor that determines your credit score. If a bill is more than 30 days late, your score will take a hit. A bill that\u2019s only a few days late probably won\u2019t affect your score, but you\u2019ll have to pay a late fee.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let either of those things happen. Automate your bill paying! If you must do it manually, set up a foolproof routine for making those payments on time.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Grocery shop without a list<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Dmytro Sheremeta \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"559452\" class=\"size-full wp-image-559452 img-fluid\" alt=\"Woman looking in fridge for something to eat\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/shutterstock_2390551889-scaled.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Dmytro Sheremeta \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wandering into a supermarket without a clear plan is like opening your wallet in a hurricane: Maybe the money will stay there \u2014 but maybe it won\u2019t. You might come home with more things than you planned to buy and less money in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there\u2019s an easy two-part fix: Before you shop, make a weekly menu. Write down what you need to buy to make those meals.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the tough part: <em>Stick to that list<\/em>. Yep, the store bakery\u2019s fresh chocolate chip cookies DO smell amazing. Hold your breath and keep walking. Your budget will thank you.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Toss something that can be repaired, reused or sold<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image caption \"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-portal-copyright=\"Elnur \/ Shutterstock.com\" data-image-id=\"248221\" class=\"size-full wp-image-248221 img-fluid\" alt=\"\" width=\"6016\" height=\"4016\" src=\"https:\/\/indafunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Man-fixing-chair_617866145_Elnur.jpg\"  \/><figcaption class=\"post-image-attr caption-text\">Elnur \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Frugal people don\u2019t automatically throw things away or put them out on the curb. They get creative \u2014 and sometimes they even get paid.<\/p>\n<p>The old Android phone that no longer meets your needs could be someone else\u2019s lifeline. A couple of videos or DIY articles will help you tune up that balky weed-whacker. Once you finish a Costco-sized jug of pickles, use the container to store dry foods instead of buying expensive storage jars.<\/p>\n<p>You might even be able to make some money at this, especially on electronics or good-quality clothing.
