Is it normal to plan a tight budget?

On my pursuit of normalcy, I decided that if my class is going to be below middle class (workman/peasant) and above lower class in the future and I never plan on having much money, which I'm content with, as long as I get a $200 wage, I'm going to buy a cookbook, by Andrew Schloss, called 'Cooking With Three Ingredients' which I first saw in the public library, and cook cheaply using only 3 ingredients. The plan is to cheaply rent a flat from the government (more inexpensive than you can possibly imagine) and buy cheap clothes now on a budget, instead of those expensive clothes I often buy, and to buy accessories, such as a thrift shop scarf or tie perhaps, on my budget, both now I have so little money and in the future I'll have so little money in my job. Furthermore this means to cut back on luxuries: budget toilet paper, plastic containers instead of stainless steel lunchboxes, Black & Gold stuffed olives (not the expensive ones) for entertaining, raw vegan, such as the lowest price almond milk, salad greens, Charlesworth Nuts walnuts (250 grams), not cashews (which are bloody expensive), vegan hommus dip, tomatoes, and celery to name a few; budget coffee the finest and cheapest (I can't stand cheap inferior grade coffee) for about $4 a jar, I'll check to see if it's on special, not that Moccona I usually buy (Moccona is the most expensive), raw cocoa (the lowest cost), Xylitol (it's inexpensive, trust me) instead of sugar, the cheapest sultanas (from a cheap brand), and cheap furniture (2nd hand), and paper plates, not plastic or clay, saves the washing, so I won't have to use so much dish-washing liquid (believe me, you only need pure tap water and a hard green sponge, not a scourer, with elbow grease, to clean the dishes), and an antique store bath essence (it costs less but doesn't save time looking for such a store), with my "fun money" I can shop online for medicated snuff and a gold scarf, and that bloody expensive Roman toga, trust me, this needs to be bought. So I'm practising my budgeting now, and on such a tight budget, less is spent and much more is saved, is that normal?
