1.  peavey (3763) | 1 month ago |  What ways do you use already? We could probably come up with some more, but not knowing what you already do makes it hard. I would suggest that you read frugal living sites, blogs and forums for ideas. Meantime...
Use generic brands, don't shop until you really have to, don't drive unless you really, really have to (keep the car parked to save gas), cook from scratch, don't waste money by racking up overdue fees or parking tickets, if you need something, first ask if you can substitute something else and if you can't, see if you can find it second hand.

| 4. sophie2468 (8) | 3 weeks ago | Good on you! Having a set goal is about half the battle! If you're just really vague - "oh I want to save some money" - you probably won't.
For most people the most elastic part of your budget is groceries. I'd start there. One thing I do is have a 'soup night' every week. Soup is dirt cheap, feeds everybody, and smells great while it's cooking. It can be as simple as a couple of broth cubes, a bit of rice, left over veggies. A bit of leftover wine if you have it. And a great loaf of bread!

5.  my_name_is_coco (2242) | 4 days ago |  I love clothes.to satisfy this want,I shop at secondhand stores.it actually satiated my wants in more ways.I found designer items in cheap prices.I got addicted more with thrift shopping because of that.given my salary,I didn't imagine myself having designer items at this age.I don't care if people find thrift shopping disgusting.I just wash the clothes well.
