Did you actually do all these things? I have been living frugally since forever (grew up poor and it's a habit lol), so I don't have an expensive data plan (pay 6 Euro per month for my phone), never had TV, Netflix etc., don't own a car, always pack my own lunch, I don't dry my clothes, drink tap water.... Not saying I am living paycheck to paycheck now thanks to a nice salary, but I dunno...these kinds of tips / lists always make me feel a bit resentful because it's for people who already have the money to begin with and just spending it poorly...
