To save lifelong money.. you can just bulk buy certain things that’ll last your entire life. For example toothbrushes.

Maybe could be cross posted to shower thoughts, but there’s alot of items a lot of people will constantly buy day in and day out and always be replacing. Some of that stuff if you bulk bought it would go bad after a few years, other things however? Like a toothbrush? That’s entirely made of plastic? Will for all intents and purposes last your entire life.

Essentially rather than spend 5-10$ every week on a new tooth brush, and pay for the brand name ones that don’t really do anything special, you can follow the basic advice of most dentists and replace your tooth brush once every 3-4 months with a soft bristle toothbrush.

Here’s where the savings (and frugality) comes into play.

Say you’re 30 and want to live to 100 and plan to replace once every 4 months but still want some buffer room in case one breaks or you get sick or whatever?

You could go on Amazon and likely find a bulk box of individually wrapped “single use” toothbrushes, ranging in a variety of sizes (the biggest I found was 1000 count) and usually spend MAYBE around 50-100$ ONE TIME and boom you now have toothbrushes for the rest of your life and they’ll never expire should you store them properly.

Now instead of spending 5-10$ every week or so on a new toothbrush? you just bought all the toothbrushes you’ll ever need for the rest of your life and now you can instead save that money or spend it else where.

Note that this can apply to any consumable item you use, so long as it will never expire, just bulk buy.
