Favorite Everyday Savings Trick

After reading all the responses to Alyssa's thread on the recession, it looks like maybe we could use a few tips. Or an oil rig to share! What is your favorite way to save money?

i pack a lunch for fi and i everyday

I can use this thread! Great thing to start..thanks

I make coffee at home almost everyday instead of buying it everyday

My FI and I try to carpool at least 2 to 3 times a week to cut back on gas expenses!

We do not eat out to save money. It can really add up. I don't love to cook but am getting better. Eating the same thing over and over gets boring! And it's always better when someone else makes it for you! Its nice to be home together though! (and save $)

i loooove shopping. i have this need to buy stuff. it's like a sick addiction

so i set a shopping limit for myself every week. i can only spend $100 a week on myself (clothes, dvd's, lattes, etc). if i don't stay in my limits, whatever i've gone over comes out of my limit for the next week.

-We only eat out once a month.

-Pack a lunch for FI.

- Run at the park and use the weights we have at our house instead of having a gym membership.
