I'm looking for budget-friendly methods to mow my lawn since I can't afford a lawn mower right now. Does anyone have tips or alternatives that actually work?

You could also go for a manual reel mower like the Scott's 16 in. It costs around a hundred bucks but really works great for a tidy lawn. Just remember, it needs a bit of upkeep and can snag on thicker weeds sometimes, but it gives a nice cut!
Yeah, but sharpening the blades can be a task, just make sure you’re ready for that!
You can try using a manual lawn mower or even a scythe if you're feeling adventurous. A manual push mower is pretty effective, and you'll get used to it quickly. Just a heads up, a decent scythe can be nearly as pricey as a basic gas mower, so keep that in mind!
Yeah, I tried a manual push mower. It's a workout for sure, but it does the job well!
True! Just watch out for thick weeds and sticks—they can really slow you down.
Check your local marketplace! I've seen some push mowers for as low as $25. It's definitely worth a shot if you're trying to save some cash.
Sounds like a solid option! Plus, you get a bit of exercise in too.
