Every penny counts!

As a young adult and working student I came up with little thing to help me save and stop spending so much money.

Do you eat out a lot?

STOP!!!! A $40 meal with a boyfriend/girlfriend at a restaurant that lasts you one maybe 2 meals can be a week and a half of food. One day i walk around the store and I said to myself I don’t want to spend more than $1 or $2 on each item. So i went up and down all the rows and I discovered that there is a lot for a dollar or less. Try it! I stopped going out to eat so much and saved well over $100 in a week.

Like to go out drinking with friends a lot?

Honestly you can save a lot and have just as much fun by inviting people over to your place. I mean 4 cocktails at a bar could be a bottle that you can make 12 cocktails out of. Plus you reduce the risk of someone driving drunk especially when you have a perfectly good couch that they can sleep it off on.

Are a Starbucks addict?

Honestly if you have a coffee maker and a blender at home you can make any of those drinks for the price of 6 drinks you can make 40. Think about it or if you really need coffee while your out and about check out a different places then Starbucks don’t get me wrong I love Starbucks to but they charge you $4 or more for a drink when it cost them a quarter of the price to make it and you want to know why they can do it, it’s because it says “STARBUCKS” on the cup. I started making my own coffee instead of going to Starbucks and i saved about $50 that week.
