For me I generally pirate most books I read, although if there is a book I really enjoyed I will buy the physical copy.

I also generally tend to avoid having takeaways because they are just so expensive in this day and age with inflation and tend to opt for cheap meals like pasta or rice etc.

Also I don't pay for any streaming services, but borrow a VPN service from a friend to pirate the movies I watch.

Curious to hear of some ways that you people here save money.

    Get a bicycle and use that for as much of your transportation needs as is possible.

    If you can avoid owning a car by this method, you save a lot of money on car payments (or invested capital)/insurance/maintenance/fuel. Even if it doesn't allow you to ditch a car, you'll spend less on fuel.

    If it replaces public transportation trips, then you save a bit on those.

    Finally, the health benefits of extra exercise are going to pay huge dividends that are hard to measure but significant nonetheless.
