What is your personal way of saving money?

my way for saving money is just taking a part-time job to get extra earning.hehe .... and frankly speaking,i also always make a plan before spending money in order to control the pay for every aspect just like eating,wearing,living, entertainment and so on. for example,the all i earned this month is 1000 $,besides the money for saving 200$,there is still 800$. i wll spend 350 $ on eating ,300 on paying for water,phone,trafic and somethin else for living, and 150$ on entertainment. if the money for some aspect seems not enough, then i will control spending on the aspect and make sure the money wil not run out untill the end of month. yes,in such a way,i save my money.

Any money i make usually goes straight to my bank account and then I may keep like $20 out for spending on little things. There are certain things I will buy at the dollar store over other stores, like their shampoo tends to be cheaper then other places even though its like pantene or something. I like Walmart as well for other things, I don't shop at K-mart just because I how much it costs them for a certain product and they make it so much more then they should. I only shop there if my friend is working so I can get a discount. For clothes I shop at Kohls since they have awesome sales a lot of the time, plus my bf works there so we get like 10% off everything even clearance stuff! I don't usually have a temptation to spend a bunch of money since I was raised to be frugal. I also tend to shop at Goodwill for clothes, and since I live in a College town there are really nice clothes that people give away. It seems like a lot of girls over here wear something 4 times and don't want it anymore, I guess they can do that when daddy is paying for everything, lol. I'm not complaining though since I am getting nice clothes out of it, let their daddy's buy them whatever they want! I also try not to eat out a lot, and if I do I like going to buffets so I can take food home - eventhough you aren't suppose to. haha I'm so cheap!

The best way for me to save money is my credit union. I have $50 taken directly from my paycheck every 2 weeks. It adds up very quick. I always end up taking it out for things though. Like maternity leave or Christmas. I also have a 401K and I don't know how to take that money out! So I at least have that if I have an emergency.

I used to have a money box which was used for save coins. But I find to save money is not good than earning money. SO I will try to earn some money and have a high interest bank account or just do some good investion.
