What have you done to save money?

Thanks for hunting for more info. I'm not necessarily asking for my own help, just to have a conversation and see what kinds of ingenuity people have shown if they're low on cash or resources.

Yes, I appreciated that. Just expanding your box. For my part, there wasn't much challenge in the 'hunt'.

God, I have worked for 52 years, saved and now the modern world is going to crap my savings away..you can't do the right things anymore.

I save money by bicycling when I can. I have an on-board app for my car that shows the cost of every automobile trip and it is intimidating!

As for photography the savings are incidental - Rodinal, and a mentor who pays for film.

Two pieces of Formica covered MDF glued together, covered sides out & handles from IKEA(fancy schmancy!) Sink blanks are fine.

I've been looking to scavenge a piece of granite counter top for use as a weight to flatten newly dry mounted prints.
My brown glass storage bottles for chemicals were free, from a pharmacy (Robitussen syrup originally came in them.)
A string of red led Christmas lights bought on end of season close-out for my safe lights.

I did not buy a f6 30" lens. But I almost did...
