Are memberships to Sam’s and Costco worth it? We have both but I’m considering canceling them. Looking for anyone who has crunched numbers to compare with stores like Wal-Mart, Aldi, and Kroger.

We just paid off our Costco card after accruing a big chunk of debt. We usually just get meats, produce, eggs, dairy, diapers, and wipes and few frozen items here and there. We moved and our Sam’s isn’t as close as our old one but I love their Members Mark brand wipes and diapers among other things. Also their gas is cheaper.

Aldi seems so cheap but I’m suspicious it isn’t actually as cheap as they market their products to be. Like their Tandil detergent for example. I need to compare price per oz. to something like Purex.

Hey everyone!

I've been pondering if cable TV is worth it, or am I better off sticking to streaming services? Currently, I'm sharing accounts with friends to save some bucks, but I'm curious about your thoughts and experiences.

Do you find cable offers something unique that streaming doesn't, or is the convenience and variety of streaming services the clear winner?

Hi all, since I'm living with my gf, I realized we use a lot more toilet paper than what I'm used to. The usage comes mainly from wiping after peeing which, as far as I know, it's almost a must since women can't squeeze the last drops as most men can do. I've proposed her to use the bidet, but it's some steps away from the wc so it's a bit akward...

Any ladies here know some (more) sustainable ways to achieve the same end result? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I'm quite surprised that apparently nobody here uses bidet+towels to wipe, being this the frugal subreddit.
