right now, to practice austerity measures, I am not buying water anymore from a earby convenience store from the office. I now bring my own water using my jug. What are your ways to save?

-Create a budget and stick to it. -As much as possible, I would eat at home than eat at restaurants. -Don't bring much cash and credit cards with you especially if you are an impossible buyer. -Turn off appliances at home that you do not use. Save electricity. -Do a garage sale of the things you no longer need. Aside from de-cluttering your place, you can also get money from it. -Walk if the place is just near or it's just a walking distance away. Aside from saving money, you also get to exercise.

My way is simple. If I want to save money during the month, I just simply don't spend it at all on any stuffs which are not urgent. Just keep the money on my wallet. When I got a free budget on the next following month, then I go back to shop

many ways to save water and of course we look at those unnecessary expenditures like eating out at restaurants. now we eat less outside and cook at home, this will save a huge chunk of our expenses. also dun drive if you can help it and use public transport cos you will save on petrol and also parking fees. no point saving on nitty gritty issues, like water usage, cut down electricity cos it would not save you much. and yes you are right, bringing your own water will save a lot of money cos you not longer need to buy drinks each time if u are at work. it can save you quite a bit too

I don't need to bring water in office because theres a free water in our office, so no need also to buy water.. Well, I used to make a budget list every for every 15 days because my I received my salary in every 15h and 30th day of the month.. I used to follow the budget list that I made so that I can really save money. Then the extra money that I have I usually put it in the piggy bank so that I don't have a choice not to spend the extra money that I have.. Since, I need to break the piggy bank before I can get the money.. I always try my best to follow whats on the budget list so that I can really save money..

I would suggest making a budget for each month, unless that is a little too long term for what your looking for.
