When you grow up without a lot of money, it's normal to build habits that help save money. So we asked the BuzzFeed Community: "If you grew up poor but now have money, tell us the "frugal" habits you still do to this day to save," and so many of them delivered honest answers. Here's what they said below.

1."I use paper towels to dry my hands, and then fold them to save for cleaning up after the cats! I don’t have to feel guilty about wasting the paper. I also use Walmart bags for trash bags, and only do laundry when I have a full load. I also only use the speed cycle on the washer. It cleans clothes just as well, in 30 minutes instead of an hour and a half!"

2."I have plenty of money now, but I still buy a lot of my clothes, shoes, and accessories on eBay and the RealReal. Why pay full price?"

3."Cut cream bottles, etc, to use every little last bit of the product and shopping secondhand, especially for clothes, and not replacing an item if the one I have is still working."

4."When I was first starting out as an adult, I opened one checking and one savings account at a big-name bank, but for some reason, they duplicated that request, and I ended up with TWO checking accounts. Rather than go back to the bank, I just kept both accounts and quickly realized that one was attached to my debit card and the other wasn't attached to anything. So I started calculating how much I spent on bills every month, and moved that amount from the main account to the spare. So for the last 15+ years, I've had a 'main account' and a 'paying my bills account.' I have auto payments set to take money from the 'bills' account, and I've never missed a single payment or been short on bills. And I know whatever money I have in my main debit card account is safe to spend."

5."I never throw out old electronics; you never know when you can use the pieces for new ones. I also still repair holes and rips in clothing rather than throw them away. I keep 'good' plastic, whether it's a reusable cup or a to-go container. I also have a drawer for disposable silverware, napkins, and condiments I get with to-go orders. You never know when you may run out or need one."

6."The first thing I look at on a menu is the prices. Growing up, I was conditioned to order the cheapest thing, and always something cheaper than what the host was getting. To this day, I still end up picking one of the least expensive items on the menu out of pure reflex. When we went out to eat, I was never allowed to order an appetizer or dessert. I thought those parts of the menu were for rich people."

7."Why would anybody spend money on Tupperware when you can reuse yogurt/sour cream/cottage cheese containers? They work just as well, and you get something yummy to eat first :)."

8."Washing out the plastic bags."

9."Avoid memorizing your credit or debit card number. It helps stop impulsive online shopping."

10."To keep myself from impulse buying, I made a rule for myself that if I can’t make a purchase twice without still feeling comfortable with the price, I don’t make that purchase. This applies more toward things like groceries/snacks I don’t need, fast food, or clothes — things that are easy to buy on impulse."

11."I still refuse to pay anything extra when it comes to airfare. $50 to choose my seat? Guess I'll be in the middle then, with the snacks I brought from home in my bag."

12."In addition to shopping at thrift stores, I used to frequently pick up furniture and similar items that people discarded next to dumpsters when I was poor. A lot of the time, they just needed a good cleaning to look good as new. I learned that sometimes people throw things out, not because there's anything wrong with them, but because they just don't want them anymore. I make a good living now, and have done so for years, but to this day, every time I see something sitting next to a dumpster (i.e. lamps, dressers, flower pots, etc.) I feel compelled to take a peek."

"One word of warning, though: be careful about taking second-hand items made of fabric into your home. No freebie is worth a bedbug infestation! And always make sure to thoroughly sanitize anything you take before using it. Until then, keep it wrapped in plastic (like a garbage bag) and outside of the home until you're able to make sure it doesn't have any cooties on it!"
