Since times are tough all over Im just curious what are some of the things you guys do to save money. I mean on things besides your cars.

One of my ideas and what I recently started doing was buying all my cleaning supplies and paper towles/napkins at like a dollar tree.

Eat out at pricier joints less
Be smart with cooking (cook a lot of cheap soups, stews, & pasta sauces)
Drink less soda, alchohol, and coffee.
Do less track events (tires and pads are the most expensive).

Try to pay off CC debt more dilligently

Keep a ledger to track expenditures (should have done that regardless)

In other words, everything considered common sense.

DONT eat out

if ur willing to work hard and have some free time, go around collecting cans and bottles and get money. I did this one day and got 20 bucks (this was back in highscool). Another is go to goodwill or garage sales and buy certain items that look cheaper than it should and restore it (polish it up, clean it up, fix it, etc) and resell. My cousin found a mont blanc pen at a goodwill store for people to sign their signatures. She asked if she could have it, they gave it to her for free. Another thing is if u live near a school campus, when the quarter or semester is over, check what the buyback is for textbooks and offer 5-10 more than the school and buy students books. Resell on amazon and make alot of money. Just from selling textbooks from the past 2 quarters made me an easy 400-500. Example: a chem book retail is 120, school buyback is about 40 mayb 50 tops. Give the kid 55 or 60 and u can resell on amazon for 80-100. Students are lazy but if u are willing to put in the effort, u can find ways to make easy cash.

It wouldn't be a bad idea either to try putting away a dollar a day or when ever you find that you have an extra dollar or change in your wallet, to put it in a savings jar or something.

Make a goal for yourself like say you'll want to get 5$ by the end of the week or something, then just keep increasing it.

Also, try walking/biking/skateboarding/roller blading/gliding, etc I don't care to places near your house whenever you need to go somewhere next to your place.

Stop spending on your car would also help ALOT!

Instead try investing that money instead.

Learn not to eat out alot, it makes a big difference.

Don't drive too much when you don't have to.

Use someone elses A/C or heating by going to like a mall or something and walk around when you have nothing to do, unless you have a gf then thats a bad idea. Just leave all the lights off.

i borrow toilet paper, printing paper, surgeprotector pens, and other various items from work that we have an abundant amounnt of, even ethernet cable lol

but, but, but, but....FINE!

very good advice, i dont eat at expensive places very often, maybe once a month if that, used to be 3 times a week...

seriously the most discusting thing my moms side of the family does...nasty MF's...

let alone 2...dont jusdge me

i do this quite often, i dont carry cash, i have the itch to always spend, but if i do have cash and i get change that jingles, i dump it into my giant Vegas coke bottle, but i save 1 or 2 quarters in the car for meters...





another way to contribute is dont use ATM's that charge fee's to withdraw money, a dollar here and a dollar there dont seem like anything, but add those bitches up and they add up, i went over my shit last year and realized i spent roughly 70 on withdraw fee's from ATM's...

recycling is always a plus, easy money.

a good way to save money is when you need to fill up your cars tank make sure u do it either late at night and early in the morning, gas expands during heat, so 12 gallons may not bbe 12 gallons, also , make sure u NEVER fill up at a station that getting refueled by trucks, they lift sedement that end up in your gas tank...pretty much this is a bang for your buck so to speak.

reuse water bottles...if u have an office that has free water, fill that bitch up, u wont have to buy anything, you wont have to detour to stop somewhere, and your being healthy, 3 in one.

print double sided on paper prints, specially if ur a student, but check with proffessor first...some bitch about it...

buy cheaper beer, Rolling rock is almost as good as heineken, new castle is almost as good as hefenweisen...almost...beer pong is fine with light beer...taste nasty but if u play enough rounds you get a buzz...

if you notice that a bus is on the same route from home to work, do it, 30$ bus pass for a month over god knows how many dollars of gas.

save atleast 15% of ur check into savings...im currently saving around 45% and holly fuck does this add up fast...

do your own oil change...Autozone and pepboys take used oil for free...

Go around your neighborhood. Start asking people for random house jobs. Cleaning the gutters, pool, mowing lawns. Fixing their cars. I made good cash painting houses not the outside but the Inside. Pretty much become a Mexican. I'm Mexican and people don't believe me when I tell i live in the neighborhood. Funny and sad.

ewie nasty! lol

Porn comes on DVDs now, not just magazines, you know?
I fail to see how this is nasty.

-although-
Bootlegging porn is a good way to SCORE some extra trap...

Watch:
1 - Copy whatever porn you may have onto DVD discs, hit up carwashes on the weekends and sell for $5.00/disc.
2 - ???
3 - Profit

... if you know how to find good pern on the interwebz, this is a LOW overhead endeavor, and I have found that you sell more at carwashes nearer to the "hood," where the inhabitants would be more likely to want to watch bootleg porn, to be displayed from the televisions in the headrests of their 86 caprice with a skittles logo down the side and 30" wheels.
