What have you changed about your lifestyle to deal with the cost of living increases? - eviltoast

I was having this conversation with a friend and we both got some useful ideas from each other (cancelling various underused subscription services, making use of libraries, more home vege gardening etc) - curious to know what else people are trying.

    I changed to a super cheap mobile plan recently, since I’m usually on wifi and don’t actually make calls so I really don’t need much in that regard.

    I’ve also just cancelled my kobo sub and have been going to the library. I mostly used kobo for indie authors so the library is a nice change of pace.

      This was a huge one for me. Went from paying about $100/month on t-mobile to paying $180/year on mint Mobile (which uses t-mobile towers so basically the same service).

        You know you’re replying to a New Zealand community right? T-Mobile isn’t a thing here. The best we have is ~$20 a month in pre pay plans
