I buy a lot of stuff at the dollar store too. I bought a mop at CVS with no price marked on it. It was $19 with tax. I took it back and got one for $5 at the dollar store.

Our biggies are using the clothesline, not eating out, keeping the AC at 76 and the heat at 63 & layering up, cooking from scratch, avoiding unnecesarry trips to town, not wasting food by canning and freezing, gardening & growing our own meat and fish, not using disposable products such as paper towels, napkins, plates...using cfl and led lighting, cheap entertainment at home, shopping in bulk, sewing most of the kids and my clothes & shopping thrift stores, dh takes his own lunch and we don't use disposable lunch items--they are rubbermade containers that we reuse.Comment

My husband's workers go out to lunch every day. They must spend $50 a week just on lunches. My husband packs his lunch every single day and puts it in a cooler. He saves that trip to town (he is a builder) plus all that cash every week.Comment

And, at least he knows where his food came from and it was prepared in a clean kitchen with clean hands.Originally posted by RedThunderBirdand I bet that he is eating healthier that the ones who go to the fast food places ===== without a doubt

I have to admit, since taking my lunch, I don't worry about what's in my food. It's an easy way to motivate myself to take it.Comment

He carries a microwave with him to every job. That way, he can just heat up the leftovers from last night's dinner.Comment

i live at my own, working as an accounting staff and my boarding house is just a walking distance away to office. i saved a lot because i dont have much transportation expense and aside from that i cook my food and made budget meal plan as its much easier to decide what to buy when im in the supermarket. i used the money i save from transpo and meals in buying beads accessories materials and make some fancy necklace, earrings, ID lace and more to earned extra income

I don't think most of us would function too well without the Internet. It means everything would move much slower and it's hard enough trying to keep up these days!Comment

I only use a credit card that gives cash back. I get a check for $50 at least once a month with my Chase credit card and I add it to my $20 challenge.Comment

Ima, knowing how good you are with money and careful as well, this makes sense. I use a credit card that gives me cash back as well, but you are probably like me and pay it off every month.Comment

I buy everything I can on ebay and put it on my points credit card. I watch my credit score go up, and ebay is now giving kickbacks, I have already accrued over $150 in kickbacks.
Everything in my home I purchased on Craigslist
countertops, kitchen table, assorted furnature, cabinets, flooring, carpeting,
(saved literally $10,000)
I shop at town talk (google it) I match prices at wal mart. get my fruit and veggies from fiesta, buy my clothes on ebay, use reflective coatings on my windows, turn my ac down while at work...
the list goes on... still looking for more ways to save.
I compared prices for power and saved $800/year over traditional companies.Comment
