Cost-cutting tips? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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 โ€“ 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.

I guess that's true and I didn't think of it that way. I took it as buying one device over the other to run multiple vms in one machine vs running them in multiple single machines. I'm in that head space now as I'm playing that optimization game myself.
