For the love of all that fucks, do not and I mean do not shop for food on an empty stomach. This is a terrible awful no good very bad idea. Always fill up before going to the market. Always always always.
Other tips -
- save and use coupons.
- Patronise freecycle.
- shut off lights and appliances when you are finished enjoying their services.
- Patronise your local library for entertainment. Besides books they'll have magazines, probably some DVDs, maybe games as well. Failing that, hulu and torrent sites for shows on the computer. Don't pay extra for cable.
- If you drink coffee, brew it yourself.
- Go to matinees when you go to the movies.
- Buy in bulk where you can.
- Don't smoke, you lousy cunt.
- Know your grocer and its habits. See if you can't get cheap bread and pastries at night (they'll probably be loathe to throw them out)
- If you're living on your own, don't build your own computer. Go to a Dell outlet and buy cheap. There's no such thing as a "Budget Rig".
- If you've got self-control enough, a credit card can be a boon. Pay off your debts ASAP and rack up the reward points or whatever. But respect the beast if you want to play with it, it's capable of fucking you up in ways you can never recover from. But if you play it right the benefits, short term and long term, are considerable. Building credit is always good. If you have any sort of spending impulse stay as far away as you can manage.
- Even if you live alone, cook a large meal that you can separate into smaller portions to freeze to eat later. Spaghetti sauce is the perfect example: you can make a large batch at one time and freeze it. Then you can use it to prepare a lot of different meals: lasagna, macaroni... you can even use it as a pizza topping instead or regular tomato sauce. Food is the #1 source of out-of-control spending, for myself and everyone I know.
- Be single.
- Learn to love the taste of tap water. Don't drink the bottled stuff.
- If you've got to have a car, get an old model, small Japanese build. Might be a bit pricey but they hold their value for good reasons.
