I use plastic shoeboxes in the bottom of my closet, maybe you'd find something like that useful? I like them because they stack easily and the contents are visible from the outside.
like this:
i feel the same as you on lawn service....i love having that extra time on the weekends!
for me I'm just saving up for a few things right now and looking for additional ways to bring my monthly expenses down...after doing the cost analysis of owning my own reel mower vs paying for lawn maintenance I couldn't justify it.

Lol. I don't know if this is true for everyone but junk food also makes me feel like always tired. And I hate that, I end up sleeping a lot and I already hibernate like a bear.
I let go of Soda like 5 years ago, and I'm in love with water lol.
It's just the chocolate almond cake and vanilla ice cream that I'm having trouble with

And yeah definitely, nothing wrong with cutting costs with the lawn thing : p I was lucky to find a guy willing to take care of my lawn for cheap, haha. Hes a nice guy too, does more than I even asked him to.
New or even newer cars. I drive mine into the ground as it seems like a huge waste of money with no ROI. That being said I recognize value of transportation but just think it is crazy to spend 40K plus on a car. (Sorry zero)
I put over 500,000 on my previous car and it was still like new when I sold it.
I can't think of anything I don't buy or can stop buying.. I've always been pretty frugal. At various times in my life I've been addicted to chocolate, ice cream, modifying my car, car stereo equipment, modifying my mountain bike, adding to my drumset... but for the last several years I haven't had any "addictions".
And I won't give up my paper towels because I use microfiber towels on a regular basis and I know what a pain they are to clean (I wash them by hand instead of putting them in the washer because I use them on cars).

It was easy because I had a very reliable car with a manual tranny (it was an '89 honda civic). All I really needed to do was keep up with oil changes and regular maintenance. Some things did eventually need replacing like the alternator and radiator. The most expensive repairs were the steering column (who knew that could go bad?!), and replacing the AC controls because I think someone fried them when they incorrectly hooked up diagnosis equipment to the engine.
The engine was never rebuilt. I occassionally used engine additives like Slick50 and Restore to maintain the compression/power, and I used another additive to keep the engine clean called Rislone, plus fuel injector cleaners from Chevron and STP.
On the outside, I kept it washed and waxed almost religiously. I kept the interior clean too and I don't smoke.

I don't buy anything I can't pay for with cash. I had a house full of antiques. I gave it all away. Everything I now own I could fit in a 2 bedroom home and be very minimal. I will never own another television and I will never own anything that I won't use at least once a month or on special holidays. It's just stuff that clutters up my life and wastes time I could be devoting to God and family.
Not even... bacon?
Although maybe it's just a phase I'm going through, like my college sophomore year when I realized I could just buy frosting in a tub.
