Thanks! I’ll have to try to turn some of these tips into habits. I’m really good at eating at home and usually use leftovers as lunch for the next day. One thing I’ve done is added the Blockbuster Movie Pass to my DISH account. I know it sounds counterproductive but by spending that extra ten bucks every month, I save in a bunch in movie rental fees and go out less. I’m not sure I would have tried it if I didn’t work for DISH but I do and I love it. Another way I save is by not having internet service. I have an Android phone and use the hotspot to provide internet service to other devices. It’s prorated on my monthly bill so I just turn it on and off as needed.

I remember when in my childhood my grandma used to say “Don’t think about saving money, think about earning more money”. That was wise. You guys try the same. I know it is hard !

I take $ off of the mortgage. Instead of cashing in my points, or obtaining a gift card, I put them on my mortgage. It takes $2500 to earn $25 but when you consider it’s for bills I’m paying anyhow, I charge them monthly to credit card and then pay it off monthly. So far I’ve taken off almost two years off of the mortgage, and saved a ton of money in interest. Also another way to save $ for lunches is to save your scraps (not from people’s plates), but when you have only a little bit of leftovers in the container or a few veggies in the frozen freezer bag. Put them in ziploc storage bags and then make soup in the crock pot. Usually I just have to add a can of diced tomatoes and beans, or throw in some leftover pasta. I usually get about two weeks worth of lunches and a nice minestrone soup which is also good for the waistline.

Order flowers directly from the florist. Order takers like FTD and Telaflora take a huge cut (upwards of 30%); so for your $100, your receipient will be lucky to get $70 worth. You will get much more for your money if you look up a florist on the web, thru your GPS or smartphone.

Thanks for your article. It has shown me new ways to save some money. You mentioned using space heater to heat your room instead of the entire house at night. I use this technique in the summer time by using a smaller window air conditioner in my bedroom instead of of using the central air conditioner.
