I started making my own coffee to bring to work instead of buying it everyday.

Sadly Ive also started eating not as healthy as I normal would. I buy a lot of frozen things; veggies and 'previously frozen' meat that is cheaper.

Don't run your AC in your car, sweat it out if you can. The AC runs off your gas and can empty your tank a lot faster. Also try taking highways where you can run your car continuously at 55mph. This improves your gas mileage rather than stop and go traffic or side roads with low speed limits. Make sure your tires are filled to the right air pressure, this also improves gas mileage.

Instead of going out for Margaritas or something with friends we make them at the house and rent movies instead of going. Or we borrow movies from each other to save on rental fees.

I also have learned to make lists and stay away from those dreaded stores that you could easily spend $50 in. Like pharmacy stores, CVS, Rite Aid, etc... I go in with my list, get ONLY what I need and get out quick! LOL Else I could buy makeup and hair pieces, dye, magazines and books and anything else that catches my eye! BAD!

Hope that helps!
