What are some things you have learned how to make/fix in your pursuit of being frugal?

Learning to utilize programs for those who need help: •I only recently began visiting the food bank as someone who needed food, I’d volunteered a few times and had trouble giving away all the food. They register you on site and are not shy about loading your car with anything you could need. •I paid for a lot of my schooling with scholarships/grants that I researched to fit the criteria I was in. •Finding rental/home loan assist programs. •Utilizing free certifications online as opposed to paying to go back to school for specific skills. Etc. basically, if you’re struggling enough that you’re constantly stressed about money, food, or bills, there is SOME free resource available to you online that you may not know about. Always do a search on your state/gov assistant sites before losing hope.
