When it comes to smartphones, I'm also the type of person who doesn't buy the latest model every year or two.
I used to be about 2 versions behind the latest iPhone every 3 years ( $AAPL) I think I'm now 5 or 6 versions behind. But I don't go along with this pricing policy.
I take a mixed approach to food.
As a rule, I buy whatever I feel like, but I still try to pay attention to seasonality and possibly also local cultivation. (In other words, no Moroccan strawberries in December).
When it comes to cars, I go by efficiency and not by brand.
I currently drive a $F Ford C Max, which I bought as an annual car back in 2019.
The next car will probably be around 2028 or so.
Where I'm saving a lot of money now is my mobile phone contract. 25 GB 5G Internet in the Telekom network + SMS / phone flat rate for just under €9 is just so much cooler than €30/month Vodafone for not even a third of the services.
I'm also a bargain hunter when it comes to electricity. I switch every year to keep prices down. Currently 25 cents/kwh and a minimal basic fee.
Of course, this frees up capital for other things, such as vacations, day trips or going out for a nice meal as a reward.

@Staatsmann Where can you get such a tariff? I currently pay 10 euros at Fraenk for a little less GB. Electricity is also optimized whenever possible. I also primarily buy regional food 👍

@DonkeyInvestor I found it via Check24.
The provider is High5 (a subcontractor of Klarmobil, I think).
Including new customer bonuses and the like, I'm at €8.99 per month.
The bill is €14.99, but with cashback and the like it's only €8.99 on average.
It used to be one of those Christmas offers.
