What are your favourite, or least favourite but necessary, cost-cutting methods?

I feel I am spending too many resources on unnecessary stuff.

Edit: I feel the need to reduce both – the resources, to host multiple things on one system, and cost, to buy/pay for multiple systems. Currently, I have 2 ARM VPSes and 1 old MacBook Air as a home server.

    That depends? What exactly are your costs? My server at home costs pennies even with my crazy energy prices here. My Nextcloud, RSS, and random stuff VPS is only 15€ per quarter, Lemmy VPS is less than 5 per month, and Backblaze for backup is pennies per month. For me the only sensible cost-cutting would be to unite the two VPS to one beefier VPS. But that probably doesn’t make sense for you.
