ITT: We post EASY money saving tips

[daveerwin]

1.) Drink work coffee for free ($2 caffeine drink three times a day x 365=$2,190)
2.) Buy hair clippers ($8 every two weeks or $10 as a one time payment that saves about $200 a year)
3.) Recycling (I make about $26 a month on recycling, which comes to about $300 a year)
4.) Learn to live off $25 a week. Pretty easy to do if you can cook for yourself, and the rest of that 25$ you don't spend, save it somewhere. Swiping a card is easier then using cash so if you have that hidden from yourself your going to avoid using it when you want to.
5.) Don't make car payments. $200-300 a month is not worth it on an asset that depreciates the moment you drive it off the lot. 300x12=3,600 easy. Buy something you can have paid off when you drive it off the lot that will last!

dont buy dum ****

Learn to cook. if you look at most guys weekly expenses, eating out costs alot of money. easy to cook meals at home that taste better and are better for you.

Most people are unhealthy and eat crap simply because they dont have anything prepared to eat. Its way easier to go buy a burger then it is to cook a whole chicken dinner. of course the chicked dinner costs less and taste way better.

Buy desserts from Walmart's clearance section for dat cheat meal, this is stuff that's about to expire in a couple of days but you know you're going home and finishing that box in one sitting.

every evening the food store by me puts out their donuts from that morning, a box of 6 donuts is $2... always go to for indulging

live in your parents basement

bring a flask out to the bar and order sodas

shop for clothes at goodwill

3.50$ a day what are you eating kelp and plain rice

[Kiop]

own a home

[miscinginbed]

Food is my highest expense for sure...trying to make more meals, easiest way to save.

3.50$ a day what are you eating kelp and plain rice

I was reading an article that pretty much said that meat protein is costly. 25$ is kind of unrealistic but if you can get close to that number each week then thats pretty good savings in my opinion.

[SwimToTheMoon]

1. Don't be a tradie

[daveerwin]

Open accounts that automatically transfer 25-50$ every/every other pay period. This transfers to accounts that you dont subconciously think about the same way you think about your plain checking or savings account.

[MattyMiscer]

Don't buy everything the misc suggests

zinc/pygeum/L arganine
aztec clay and apple cider vinegar
melatonin
celltech
squatty potty
kratom

Am I forgetting anything?

[AlienUnseen]

1. Reduce eating out
2. Try to travel less
3. Drink water
4. Stay with family

Especially number four.

For state side people: If you have a sams club, winco or costco in your area buy certain items from those stores (toilet paper, peanut butter, garbage bags, toothpaste, oatmeal, milk etc....)

Carpool, bike ride, or use public transportation

Thrift stores, craigslist and ebay for odds and ends... and even clothing! Story time: I needed a pair of running shoes and went to goodwill. I found a brand new pair of newton gravity v's and newton distance v's... I spent $10.00 for both pairs! 2 pairs of shoes with a total value of $275.00 for $10.00. Ebay: I found a brand new pair of climbing shoes that retail anywhere between $120.00 and $140.00 for $60.00. FREE SHIPPING TOO!

Papa Murphey's for pizza on the cheat nights. BRB Family Sized pizza for $7.00. NOTE: sign up for their text message coupons... you'll thank me later.

No more cable television.............. instead you can read books, use netflix, streaming sites, rentals from the library, etc....

Downloading music rather than buying it.


So many ways to save money.. just have to use that thing between your ears.

Might try this, open a new current account with a different bank and just set up a direct debit to take 50GBP every pay day into it and try and forget about it for a year or so, throw the card in some books or something.

Learn to fish esp if you live by the ocean

[Kcrack]

Use an old coke can or something as a money box and only put gold coins in it (for Aus brahs), fills up quick and you'll have like $500+.

Whatever happened to Welshautist?

I misc using your wifi, OP

[Desi_guy]

The last tip is probably the best yet people dont understand the importance of it. I was on autotrader and I saw how a 2016 used charger was cheaper than a brand new 2016 honda civic. My dad bought a new car for 30k and I am planning to buy the same one for 16k but Used. I think buying new and latest cars is probably the biggest financial blunder people can make

this is genius

makes you think like you're spending it on every day chit rather than waiting for your check and transferring a good chunk at once.

+ Use price history websites whenever available.

+ Always search for online promo codes before pulling the trigger on a purchase

+ Google Surveys App if you have Android. I made quite a bit in Google Play credits for filling in some BS surveys and used it for app purchases and music. They haven't been sending me any in some time now, but that might be Google hating on me.

+ If you're a coffee drinker at home, I highly recommend the Bella 1-Cup Coffeemaker. My entire family drinks coffee and have had zero issues with this one, and we got it on sale for less than $20. Best value we've found for coffee, and far cheaper than going to a coffee shop.

+ If you buy CDs, check third parties on Amazon instead of going through Prime. Not only are the CDs cheaper, the $3.99 shipping + price is often less than Prime + Sales Tax because you don't get taxed going through the third party (Michigan at least).

+ Keep an eye open for VPN deals on slickdeals or tech websites. I got a lifetime membership to mine for $50 after catching a association deal being promoted in my phone's news aggregate.
+ Showbox app for the phone
+ Install Kodi + addons with an Amazon Fire TV/Stick

Having a car is a necessity now a days. You can't take a public transit and waste ****load of time traveling. Just buy a used car under 5k
