Thrift stores man. For clothing, stuff for around the house, basically everything that doesn't need to be new, I've spent maybe about a tenth of what I would in retail over the last few years.
ps-If you have kids, there is no other way to go for the clothes they will wreck/grow out of in a month!

I don't drive as much that's for sure. I don't spend friolously on impulse items, I make my own food as much as possible and I read instead of spending money on entertainment.

I switched cell phone company and I am saving money and I am also cutting back on going out to eat and the movies.
by ANONYMOUS on July 13th, 2009
Haven't done so yet but I'm thinking of selling off one or two kids. They're costing us too much and they don't even live at home anymore.
Anyone??? Any takers?

Turn the burner off that heats the hot water unless we want to take showers or do something that needs hot water in which case we turn it back on. Five minutes and, voila, hot water.

i am cooking things i like instead of buying them made for me.
by SlimSadie on July 10th, 2009
I bring my lunch to work everyday now and am eating much more healthy and cheaply. I also have extra time so I take walks down by the river. So I'm now saving money, eating healthy and getting some exercise all during the workday. It's been two months and I feel so much better...more energy...clothes are fitting better.
by Theby on September 19th, 2009
No eating out. No movies. No new clothes. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa "sobs uncontrollably".

I make my own laundry detergent with borax, washing soda, and Fels Naptha. It costs only 10 cents a load and works just as good as commercial brands

I haven't, didn't need to. But since the baseball season ends at the end of August, will unintentionally cut costs by not going to every game. This was the first year I bought season tickets, and made sure to attend every game and it's been worth it. Hockey season starts in November, thinking of season tickets there, so an offset may be in the future.

I look for coupons online when I need to buy something. mommysavesbig[dot]com moneysavingmom[dot]com bradsdeals[dot]com and slickdeals[dot]com are a few great resources I have been using.
by Brahmanyan on July 25th, 2009
All my purchases are restricted to my immediate need. No excess purchases because of freebies attached to bulk purchases.
by More2Be on November 1st, 2009
I live 13.5 to 15 miles from the office of my job, depending on the route. Shower facilities are available there. I have arranged to where I leave a bag with two changes there and ride the bicycle to work a couple days a week. The fuel savings goes a long way, including paying for the winter cycling gear. It is good for the attitude and the health as well as for the wallet.

Reuse things that may b gross for a bit but will save you money. I reuse condoms until they break.

I don't turn any light on during the day accept in my bathroom
by Italian_Gypsy on July 12th, 2009
I've cut my showering to once per day in the morning and just take a sponge bath at night.
We keep the thermostat on the a/c at 75-77 degrees in the summer.
I wash my hair only twice a week because it takes a very long time to dry on a diffuser setting and that wastes electric. Also I don't have to color my hair as much if I'm not washing away the color.
by monkeyinaround on November 17th, 2009
I stay out of the stores as much as possible, and when I absolutely have to shop, I try really hard to not purchase anything that isn't made in the USA. There's next to nothing sold here that's made here, so it gets easier and easier.
by SoulSearcher on November 1st, 2009
I quit drinking. Not completely I guess, I did drink last night and today but it's a hell of a lot cheaper since I am drinking at home. +4

Buy store brand items instead of brand names in supermarkets.
