buy things when they are on sale (stock up on them if they are shelf stable). printout online coupons. instead of going to the closest branch of a major retailer go to the outlet store (they usually cut the prices by quite a bit). instead of renting movies check out the selection at the library. if you are thinking about a major purchase wait until a major holiday (most stores hold huge sales). shop at thrift/second hand stores. instead of buying a book that you find interesting try to find it at a used book store or get it from the library (most libraries have a policy that lets them borrow from other library systems). to save on gas try taking public transportation if you have the time. instead of buying name brand foods try the no name brands (i cant taste the difference), the no names are usually cheaper. buy in bulk when buying shelf stable foods (normally you save money if you buy the larger size)i hope these tips help.
