There is another aspect to living cheaply - never buy things when you need them. ... shop when the conditions are right - not when you need the product. Shopping for consumables is one of the major expenses in a household - so use some savvy
Yes, we do the same. People don't seem to mind sharing the spare room with the stores
We find this gives us much more "choice" ... we choose when we need to go where and for what rather than being ruled by having run out of something. It seems to remove the "hassle" some of our friends say they feel about always having to do something, be at something/someone's beck and call rather than choosing because it's a thing they enjoy doing.
