Several tips on how to save money! * 2
    #23434434 - 07/12/16 09:21 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Follow these tips. Enjoy the extra wealth

1) Always buy things on special, especially groceries. Bulk up if its a good deal. You can't find a store with eggs on special this week? Well then no eggs for you buddy. Eat the breakfast food on special. You know these discount meat? Buy them. Sure they are older, but your stomach acid doesn't see the difference. Download the Reebee app

2) Walk everywhere. Free exercise, no need to go to the gym, therefore n gym membership to pay. Plus you eventually get where you want to be.

3) Do you really need your bus pass? Calculate how many times you take the bus in a month a compare the price of buy tickets instead of going for the pass. You might be surprised.

4) Thrift stores are goldmines. 1$ books, therefore entertainment for a looong time. The clothes. Insane deals can be made on clothing. My dad for example lost 80 pounds recently. None of his old clothes fit anymore so he gave em all away to the thrift store, including his 120$ shirts and pants. Brand new.

5) Businesses give a lot of free useful things away. Whether its pens, note pads, whatever it might be. I scored a nail clipping kit and an umbrella at my furniture store because they had a celebration of some sort. So when it rains out, I gave them free publicity... Who gives a fuck?

6) If you are not OCD, get your dishes at thrift stores too. A brand new kit can cost like 50$. Thrift stores give these things away. They're gonna be mismatched, but again, who gives a shit?

7) Garage sale. Use them. I got myself a shelving unti with glass shelves in perfect condition. I paid 40$ for it. I couldn't get anything like it for under 199$ + tax

8) If you're a student. Don't buy the books. Borrow one from somebody and photocopy the chapters you need, then give it back to him. He doesn't need to know you made copies BTW. Hundreds of dollars saved there.

9) Make your coffee at home. Stop drinking this expensive Red Bull poison. Fuck Starbucks.

10) When you go out th=o the restaurant, pick the days they have promos on what you feel like eating. On thursdays a restaurant ner me has half price pasta, when there's a hockey game, there's half price pizzas, etc. Saving money doesn't mean 100% sacrifice. You can still have a life.

11) Never go to bars. Period. Too expensive, too easy to have another.

12) Don't buy garbage bags. You have plenty of plastic bags you get from everywhere.

13) Tap water can easily refill a plastic bottle 10000000 times

14) Grow a garden. Right now I'm havesting mine. I have around 100$ of herbs dried up, without another 100$ still growing. I've got more tomatoes than I can eat. Same with green pepper and cucombers. It'll cost you a few buck to start, but right now I say that I've saved maybe 200$ on grocery this years and were gonna have a warm autumn, so it still grows.

15) Do you watch TV? If no, why the hell do you have cable for? Do you really need 70000 mbps download speed or is it just a man thing that you want to fastest? You need max 15 if you're a normal guy. You cell phone, is your plan maybe a bit too much for you? Cut it in half.

16) IPS, cellphone providers and cable providers will give you insane deals if you call and threaten to switch company. Call them now and save right now.

17) Email companies about their products. They'll send you coupons.

18) Never, ever cheap out. When you do need something useful that you'll use a lot, buy the best quality. Cheap things break, piss you off and have to be replaced. More expensive high quality thing last a lifetime. Wouldn't hurt if they were on special too right ; )

19) Buy soap bars instead of bottled body wash. Multple studies show that people use waaay to much liquid soap than is required which leads to much higher costs. I believe a soap lasts 9 to 10 times longer (based on the study) than liquid soap. Extra tip. Make sure you put the soap bar higher in the shower so they don't sit in a puddle and dissolve for nothing.

Peace.

Good tips, but you will be such a boring old fart you will have no social or other life at all!!

MONEY IS FOR SPENDING !!!  So Go do it. 

What you wanna do?  Leave it all to some other bastard to enjoy?


Keep out of bars indeed !!! Mumble, mumble .....

I like how u said "on special" :lol:

in the US, its called "on sale". Canadians are silly sallys.

Anywho, i have mixed feelings on buying thift store clothes because of the "high quality rule".

Everytime Ive bought pants from a thift store, something on it AlWAYs fails. Zipper fails, main button rips off, pockets have holes in them, the ass seems rips open and i have a blowout.

Its just a bad situation. Buying new clothes has obvious set backs but also great advantages to worn clothes.

I like that email companies for coupons trick, very clever. :thumbup:

This is a bit extreme. I'd change it to

Quote:

11) Scout out the best bar happy hours. Many have both cheap drinks, and free food!





Let's say that beers normally cost $4, and during happy-hour they're half-price (that's $2 each for you Pokemon players). They've got a chafing dish dish out with something basic; say, pasta with chicken. For $6, including a $2 tip for the cute bartender, you get:

- To have fun with a crowd at a bar for an hour or two
- Dinner
- A beer
- Another beer

Of course, if you really need to pinch pennies, you can drop the tip $1 for a total of $5 spent, or even stiff them for $4... but I wouldn't advise that.

On that note, you can find great happy hours in hotel bars. They want to keep their corporate guests happy. Many are charging hundreds per night to their corporate card for the room, breakfast, paper, dry-cleaning service, etc. They can't expense alcohol because it's against company policy, so they have to pay out of pocket--and the hotel knows it. So, they sometimes REALLY lay out a nice spread for happy hour, and sell surprisingly cheap drinks. I once found one with $2 beers, and a big long buffet table of free food: cheeses, shrimp... all kinds of great stuff! The only catch is that you have to clean up and dress nicely; you have to look like you're staying in the hotel.

Heck, you might even get lucky, meet an out-of-towner looking for a little action, and end up in a nice warm bed that night. :smile: :thumbup:
