avoid dining out! now, this one is going tobe tough for those of you who work all day and when you get home you just don't feellike cooking. but, if you're looking to cut back costs, you know yourself that you shouldn'tbe eating out. instead of dining out, head to your localgrocery store with some of your favorite meals in mind, get the things that you need andcook them at home for the same price and you'll have a weeks worth of meals. use coupons. you don’t have to feel likeyou're being a cheapskate by using coupons. it’s not called being cheap, it’s calledbeing smart! find promo codes before shopping online. ifyou're an online shopper, be sure to scour

the web for promo and discount codes beforeyou finalize your purcahse. some of the best places to find discount codes these days are:retailmenot.com, coupons.com and ebates.com. sign up for email newsletters for your favoritestores, restaurants, airlines and more. before you know it, you'll be receiving discounts,promo codes, and other great deals directly to your inbox. the best way to do this is to create a separateemail address just for newsletter signups so that you don't get 100 emails a day toyour primary email account. unplug everything. yeah, i’m serious aboutthis one. unplug anything and everything in your house that you’re not currently using.i started unplugging everything around the

avoid going to the bars. you and i both knowthat most people spend about fifty dollars on average per night on a friday or saturdaynight. go out twice per week and that's one hundred dollars per week, which is four hundreddollars per month. instead, grab a six pack or twelve pack. head back to the house, havesome snacks, have some friends over and have a good time. downgrade your cell phone plan. do your reallyneed 1200 minutes per month? figure out a monthly average of how many minutes you useand how much data you use and adjust your cellphone plan accordingly. if you're oneof those people who only use your phone for emergency purposes, a cheap pay as you goplan might suit you better.
