I save a ton with my garden and chickens. If you got just a little land. I live in a small town but in the middle of it, but I got my yard used to its maximum potential. You would be surprised what you can fit if you do it right. You can go vertical if you need too. Where you save a so much money isn’t that “oh well, now I don’t have to buy a squash! I saved 3 dollars “ but if you let it dictate your meals it’s what you eat and then you spend 0 dollars on supper. I ate a lot of squash and bok Choy and rice and home baked bread this late summer and it was great every meal. Probably saved nearly $20,000 on groceries those two months. Give or take. (Don’t try squash if you don’t have the room. They are delicious but will straight up take over a given area with huge beautiful leaves and huge wonderful yellow flowers all summer)

This kiosk at my work doesn't have anyone working on it. There's cameras but I doubt anybody checks those. I don't steal much, but I make sure to grab an extra item to buy to make it more convincing.
If you have money going out per month, use Klarna (or similar services) for Pay in 3 set ups for better goods that may cost a little bit too much for paying all at once.
Whilst there are bargains to be had, many cheaper appliances may fail or reduce in quality so quick; however, the 'good' things are often a fair bit out of people's price ranges.
I have used Klarna for various things around the house, also good shoes, on the same day per month that I've received money. They've all lasted a very long time and much better than cheaper alternatives, and they're fully paid off in three months.
There is no interest taken, and can come in handy. I have gotten a washing machine and big fridge/freezer using no interest installment plans, and over time they've saved me even more money by being more energy efficient than the cheaper ones.
There's also an app called Zip that let's you do 4 payments and you can extend the dates too plus it allows you to pay for some bills like Verizon, T-Mobile, GEICO, etc
