    Sadly I missed this one ! 
    ‘Weirdly specific ‘ or over/under a certain measurement? Isn’t this size bias? 
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    Note to self:
    Staring at your bank accounts and spreadsheets does not put more money in them 🙁
