Ofcourse with this i don't mean literally squeezing a pennies but as you know tips for saving money from simple everyday things you buy. I need these tips too but here is few i know: -Buy the -50% food which expires soon and then be sure to eat it before it expires. U save half of the price if you are planning to eat it in same day anyway. -Always save the bottles you drink and then when you got lots of bottles bring them to shop and get some extra money for your groceries. -Wait until after christmas when buying clothes if christmas is near. After christmas there is usually huge sale on every cloth you can find. Lots cheaper than little before christmas. These are the ones i use :) Works good. Now tell me your tips about squeezing every penny.

Planning a menu,low-cost menu. For example, say you have a roasted chicken, so the nest day you make a casserole, then put all the bones in the freezer and make a homemade chicken soup with homemade bisquits for lunch. I could go on and on , I love planning menus.

Purchase clothing from consignment shops. They are usually just as good as new. Wait for a sale and use coupons .You can save even more.
