What skills should I look into learning to be more Frugal?

I’ll be starting college mid-fall and I want to learn some skills to be more Frugal and independent.

I can cook simple dishes, I can do video editing, I play Piano & Ukulele though sort of simply. I really only try to buy things onsale or in clearance. That or I will sort by unit price.

What would you all suggest?
