I'm the king of cheap, what do you want to know?
The most important thing in my life, is keeping my realestate that i really can't afford. So i:
-Try to grow my own food
-Never eat out
-No TV unless i can get some channels for free
-Refill smaller soda bottles from 2 liter bottles
-I cut my own hair
-I don't have a cell phone
-Heat my house from firewood that i cut or pick up
-Only go to town about 6 times a year, saves gas
-Never buy music, it's free on the radio
-Never heat the house till it's really uncomfortable
-Put a timer on the water heater, so there is hot water just before i need it
-No homeowners insurance
-Buy store brand foods and not the name brands

Buy food ONLY when it's on sale, no using lights during the day. We open the doors and use the sunlight. I don't eat out. Don't go to movies or concerts. A few other things.

Not go to church so I don't have to write a check every Sunday.

I usually eat out because it's convenient, fresh produce, and cheaper.
