First of all -- it is none of your friends business what you do with your money -- how you spend or how you save it.

Don't buy ....
--- junk food such as, soda pops, candy bars, fast food, potato chips, and most of all the fountain soda drinks
-- fountain soda drinks are about 120% mark up
-- all them fancy bottled waters -- not necessary -- get you a pretty bottle and refill and keep it with you.(where do you think all them little millions and millions of plastic bottle going to go?)
-- all them things you see around you when you are in the check out line -- ignore them (magazines, candy bars, magnets, chapstick, and other possible you don't needs)
-- if you are going to do the fast food, park and go in and get water (remember what I said about the fountain drinks)
-- learn to get things in quanity for snacks or nabs (like the cheese and crackers, fruit juices, snack bars)
-- if you drive and have a car, don't be the one always offering to drive -- let others use their gas and car -- or let them know up front that donations need to be made for gas
--And, if you decide in the future to get one of them 'credit cards', don't get one unless you can pay for the bill in full.
-- say no. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying NO to something.

Saving and being frugal is an excellent habit to get into.
Good luck and good saving.

the substantial to saving is help and resourfulness. the 1st element you need to do is sparkling and set up. you will possibly be able to discover issues you have been making plans to purchase you forgot you had. what number circumstances have we bought new pens because of the fact we shop dropping the only's we had? rather of going out to eat with friends and family members have a potluck rather. they're plenty extra inexpensive and extra intimate. save thrift shops, many that have sort new issues. You help a sturdy reason and shop a great sort of funds. Be imaginitive. Make new issues out of previous. there are maximum of issues you could reuse that don't take plenty if any imaginitive expertise. My place of work and bathing room trashcans are clutter container boxes. Why go away a easy on while you at the instant are not domicile? Does it is going to be that cool on your domicile once you at the instant are not domicile? Get cfl bulbs and turn them off while no longer in use. Get an adjustable thermostat and set it greater once you at the instant are not domicile. appropriate upkeep saves money. verify the oil and tire tension weekly to be sure they're properly crammed. shop your vehicle upkeep information so which you recognize once you're due for fix. undesirable vehicle upkeep equals much less gas mileage.

I buy the T.P. thats 4 rolls for a dollar. It's called angel soft. Its actually darn good for being that cheep...

I never buy anything full price...never....

I use baking soda alot to clean...

I use alot of ingredients that are cheep to buy when cooking. But noone ever knows cause I'm a really good cook...( I spend $100 every two weeks on grocerys+household suppleys...We almost always have stuff to eat (now) & it all tastes great...The pantery is stocked all the time-usually)

I use half of the paper towel & save the other half for later...(to me this just makes sence...I have really small hands so...)

When I was a teen, I used to saftey pin patches on my jeans every other time I wore them so people would think I had more jeans...

Everytime you buy somthing cheep. I.e save money that you would otherwise spend. put the savings away. So if you look at a top for $100 and buy another for $80 put the $20 bucks away. Its adds up very quick.
