Let's see, I cut my cable and replaced it with Hulu and later, a Roku. Now my bill is $7.99 monthly for tv.
I cut my cell phone bill to a flat $60 monthly by dropping Verizon and going to Metro PCS instead. With that I get unlimited everything and have no problems with calls being dropped etc.
I make my own laundry soap & liquid hand soap.
I drive a 15 year old truck, so no monthly payments.
I cook most of my meals rather than eating out a lot.
I quit smoking a few years back, which saves me a lot of money.
When shopping, if I find something that I use fairly often I try to buy when it's on sale and stock up then.
I filter my water rather than buying it in bottles. Granted, I pay $22 for a filter, but that gives me 535 gallons...maybe a little more.
I cut my hair rather than pay someone else to do it.
I also get fuel perks from my grocery store, so I try to wait until near the end of the month to fill up the tank on my truck.
There's more, but I am sleepy and need to think about this more. I did see a couple of good ideas on here I haven't tried yet. Good thread!
