One of the biggest underrated money saving hacks is: minimalism. I starting decluttering and clearing out things 5 years ago. I walked around out apartment and took every single thing off the walls and just started over. Since then, I have decluttered our clothes, kitchen supplies, toys etc. I tend to go through phases where everything stacks up and then I hit a breaking point and declutter again. But it is something I always come back to and feel so much better when I am intentional with our belongings.
Through this journey, I have found there are some things that I prefer to only have one of. I made a list of 20 things I currently own only one of. I know there are so many more but hopefully this list could open your mind to things that you could potentially pare down.
