#1 \| 363 days ago Nick__ (+)	Cut back on your utilities. Use less electricity and gas. Depending on whether or not you eat out or go out for entertainment a lot, cut back on that. Of course, with the gas prices as high as they are, I would take up riding a bike or walking more to places close to your home. other

#2 \| 363 days ago cubsgirl2 (+)	Keep the air conditioner on one setting and leave it. Don't turn it up and down Turn your hot water heater down just 3 degrees Make sure your tires are properly inflated (this is a biggie, it saves you tons on gas) only eat out once a week, this includes fast food. That's all I can think of right now, but I reserve the right to come back and add at any time. other

#5 \| 363 days ago DallasFan55 (+)	Captain, What Nick and Glenda said are good advice. Another way to save money in the long run is to buy items in bulk, Down here we have a BJ's Warehouse, it's like a Costcos and I buy items such as paper goods, spices, canned veggies and so forth there about once every 3 months. It may seem like a lot to put out at one time but when you weigh the difference between buying weekly and doing that, it does save big bucks. other

#12 \| 362 days ago jswol54 (+)	1 - Steal cable/internet from neighbors. 2 - Help old lady with groceries and proceed to "accidentally" take a few items for yourself. 3 - Shower once a week instead of once a day. 4 - Siphon gas from your neighbors. 5 - Scam pizza places. As a former delivery driver, it's about as easy as being a bandwagon sports fan.

#14 \| 362 days ago davonthedl (+)	1. except for meat, chicken or pork..buy your groceries at the 99 cents store or Dollar Tree. 2. fill up your gas tank but only drive when absolutly necessary. 3. turn in recyclable items...cans, bottles, paper...etc. 4. it may not seem like much but put $25 away from each patcheck or SSI check. 5. like me I buy beer once a month ( two 30 packs) and drink them sparenly on the weekends, unless I bbq. walk everywhere instead of driving

Two 30 packs and just on the weekend? Sooo that`s 60 beer in 8 days? Hmmm that works out to 7 1/2 beer a day. No just wait if you miss a day that would be 8 1/2. Are you counting long weekends? Awww f**k it , this is getting too confusing! Cheersh Davish! :)
