Answer 1

My grandmother re-used the liner bags of cereal - they work well.

When frying food, rather than use several layers of paper towels to absorb the drippings, use only a couple of paper towels, and put layers of newspaper under it. (Paper towels get expensive).

Don't smoke.

Don't drink liquor.

Make Kool-aid for the kids instead of buying carbonated beverages. (Carbonated water is not good for you anyway.)

Go to Goodwill and garage sales.

Drive conservatively. Not "jack-rabbit" style.

Stop the newspaper subscription. Get the news from your paper on line.

Rig yourself a clothesline in the garage or somewhere and hang out most of your laundry instead of drying it.

When you take a trip, take nutritious snacks (granola bars, fruit, etc.) for breakfast rather than having to eat out 3 meals a day. You can even take a small cooler.

That's all I can think of right now. I hope all the best for you and your family.

Answer 2

panhandle and after collecting at least 2 dollars, buy either a 40oz of King Cobra or Steel Reserve or a Miller High Life, then spend the remainder on a bag of peanuts or some chocolates to satisfy the hunger. Remember, the point is that you want to buy something with more bang for your buck. In the case of malt liquor, you'd best be served if you took the steel reserve 211's because of its sheer power relative to its retail price, than going for a good tasting beer like a Heineken.

In case you reallly want to get economical about things, you should look at volume content of each interesting bottle and compare both. Lets say bottle A is 40oz and has alcohol content of 5% at 0.99c. Bottle B is 32oz and has alcohol content of 10% at $1.50. Just because bottle A is of larger size does not mean you are getting "more" of what you're looking for. Bottle B carries more bang for your buck evnthough volume-wise it is a smaller bottle, but it'll get your wrecked stronger and happier than the bigger bottle A.

Be smart, be wise, be economical.

If you pick your nose or cut your nails..please chew as the protein is good for you
Also if you get slugs coming to your back door please fry the same as the french do..this will save a fortune in beef.
Cat food doesn't taste bad either, but first kick the cat outta the way as they have a habit of scrabbing you to death.
Especially the female lion.

Answer 4

Save your bath water - do not pull the plug. You can easily get a few baths from one tub full. Use the water, too, to wash your clothes. In addition, use the water to make a pot of tea.

Answer 5

Well, more things that you can do are:

See that your shoes doesnt get spoiled very fast as they have a short life.

Keep a pair of dresses which you can wear only outside...also see to it that they dont spoil...so that you can save money for laundry wash and wear the dress twice or sometimes thrice.

Also see that you spend money only for yourself and not for your friends as the people,sometimes,whom we think as friends are the ones who love our money only...(I am experienced and so i am warning)..
