* Budget your cash expenses for the week and when you are out of cash - stop spending for the rest of the week
* Eat a big breakfast and take a lite lunch to work. Fast food is unhealthy and costly.
* Rent movies instead of going to the theater. Invite friends over enjoy a fun filled inexpensive evening.
* Carpool at every opportunity, work, school, shopping, medical appointments etc.
* Use public transportation whenever possible.
* Buy a used car. Many car lots have used cars that are only a year or two old and have very low mileage.
* Skip the morning or evening stop at Starbucks. If you need coffee in the morning take it with you from home.
* Stop all costly habits such as smoking, buying snacks at gas stops etc.
* Shop with a list only. Never shop with out knowing what it is exactly you are going to buy. Buy it and STOP.
* Keep your car tuned and don’t carry any extra weight. This will get you the most mileage per gallon of gas.
* When eating out bring home leftovers. Some restaurants serve enough for two meals on one plate.
* Each thing you buy should be preceded by thinking to yourself “Do I really need this, or can it wait.
* If you have small children try to leave them with someone while you shop. This alone can save you a fortune.
* LEAVE YOUR CREDIT CARDS AT HOME. It does not make sense to be paying interest on something you ate months ago.
I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.
