How can one cut down on daily expenses as a single?

[Iboro]

It seems there is a tendency to spend money everyday. No one can possibly go a whole day without spending some amount of money on transportation, snacks, food, airtime for calls and data.

Are there tips we could use to bring down these costs entirely?

All you need to do is live within your means. Avoid eating out as much as possible. Hanging out with friends cost money too.

Stop over spending and spend only when it's necessary and don't waste food or anything you buy. This is how you can save money

I try to buy what I need most of the time and I feel this is how I am able to save money and cut down on my daily expenses which is actually a great feeling.

I see a lot of singles dining out. I think you should strictly avoid doing that. Food is the number one contributor to expenses and you should try to reduce the cost.

I used to eat a lot of fast food and thankfully I have stopped doing that for good and this is how I saved a lot of money and if we can cook for ourselves then also we can save as its expensive to buy food from outside all the time

This is the thing which costs the most because food is so expensive and if you dine outside all the time then major portion of your earnings will go into it.

As a single we can plan to cook in bulk and keep the leftovers in fridge so that we won't be required to order food from outside and can save money.

Over spending is what causes a lot of people not to be able to save money. They need to stop it.

If you can learn to cook then you can save money by cooking for yourself and can keep the leftovers in the fridge

If you keep hanging out with friends where you spend more money, then you are going to end up having nothing to save. Also, it is advisable that one live within their means, as you suggested, as that is the right way to have a better future in terms of financial stability.

The moment you open the door my country, you're definitely spending money. Some people would only need to wake up and they will have daily expenses to pay for.

I don't think that this is something we can avoid but what can be done is removing the unnecessary expenses from what you have to spend on every day.
