Don't leave the house! As soon as I step out of the front door I might as well burn a 10er with my lighter! On a more serious note....I saved loads each year by becoming a fully qualified carpenter.

When it come to saving on your groceries (and meat esp) the freezer is your best friend. I buy enough pork roasts to fill my small freezer when they go on special and slice them into pork chops. Buy some fruit from a corner store, and you save on gas cause you will be going to the big box grocery store less often. To further Tom’s comment…

Here are some tips that have worked for me and are very easy to do IMO. 1 buy in bulk.. things like paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, soup, ... anything that will last long and is easy to store. 2 bring lunch to work. i used to eat out a lot and it was a huge waste of money. 3 set a daily budget and only spend that much per day. I used to not care / track my daily spending and realized i was spending a ton of money on things like energy drinks, snacks, food... now i dont .. i just purchase those things at a grocery store and bring them with me.
