Play on Easy Difficulty

Invest in Body Armor in Chapter 8
To mitigate the challenge posed by not healing, purchase Body Armor when you reach Chapter 8. The armor will protect you from bullets and explosions, as well as reduce melee damage. It's a crucial item for successfully achieving the Frugalist trophy.

Sell or Avoid Collecting Recovery Items
To stick to the no-healing requirement, sell any recovery items you acquire, or avoid picking them up in the first place. Having them in your inventory poses the risk of accidentally using them, so it's best to sell them to the Merchant as soon as possible.

Recommended Weapons for the Frugalist Achievement
Utilize the Shotgun
When attempting the Frugalist challenge, always have a Shotgun at your disposal. Enemies getting too close can result in unnecessary damage. Use the Shotgun to keep them at a distance and eliminate them before they get too close.
Stock Up on Flash Grenades
For the Frugalist achievement, it's wise to keep a good supply of Flash Grenades on hand. There will be times when you're facing large groups of enemies and your firearms may not be enough. Flash Grenades can help reset the battlefield, giving you an opportunity to take down enemies more effectively.
Conditions for the Frugalist Achievement
Complete the Game Without Using Healing Items
The criteria for earning the Frugalist achievement is to finish the game without using any form of healing. This includes not only herbs but also items like Chicken Eggs. By taking down enemies from a distance and using the Shotgun to keep them at bay, you can accomplish this feat.
