I was having this conversation with a friend and we both got some useful ideas from each other (cancelling various underused subscription services, making use of libraries, more home vege gardening etc) - curious to know what else people are trying.

You know, it sounds like a full time job 😆

I feel ya. It’s a hobby for us so we don’t mind the time, but we probably spend at least a couple of hours a week each in the garden.

I'm amazed it's only a couple of hours a week! That would be well worth the time investment, I'd think. Especially if you enjoy it 🙂
