I've noticed sometimes that there's some half-baked videos or blogs or whatever that purport this or that frugal trick, but if you look at the time or math, it's not actually frugal for you.

What are some examples of that you've come across? The things that "aren't worth it"?

For me it's couponing. (Although I haven't heard people talk about it recently--has it fallen out of "style", or have businesses caught up to the loopholes folks used to exploit?)

I don't see what that has to do with cutting hair, unless you're suggesting literally becoming a pirate and not getting hair cuts at all.

But yes, I'm morally opposed to digital piracy, though I'll do it if the rights owner is no longer offering the product for sale. For example, I'll pirate most games for older consoles instead of buying used, but I won't pirate recent releases. That's where I draw the line for myself.

You can legally find plenty of content on Internet Archive and full movies on Youtube at https://lemmy.film/c/fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee

Ok. I'm still not sure what that has to do with what I said. Thanks for the recommendation though.
