Celanith 1) Don’t shop when you’re hungry. I agree with this and don't shop hungry your right about buying things not needed. 2) At the office: My office is in my home, Cell phones don't work here we are in a dead zone will be for several years to come. 3) Use the back of a sheet of paper to take notes. Use paper bags to take notes, and even better, to draw on. I use scraps of paper, old envelopes and bags etc. 4) Go to work an hour early and leave an hour early to beat the rush hour. I am a homemaker so don't need to worry about this. I do things on the computer to make money and sell chicken eggs etc. 5) Form a “Free Book Club” where people can leave their old books and pick up new ones, for free. I live rural but have neighbors so maybe we could exchange books. 6) Study at your Public Library to conserve energy and pay less for fuel. This is no problem as rarely go to town unless I need to then make my trip count with several errands I need to do, like doctor appointments, shopping for groceries, banking and other things. I often pool with my daughter as well. 7) Carry advertisement on your car or truck and get paid for driving frequently. Google search for “get paid to drive.” HMMM I will have to check this out. 8) Sell all your old books, magazines, records, CDs, DVDs, videos, etc. on eBay, Amazon, craigslist, etc. I gave up on EBAY they have become way to greedy. Got things on craigslist but no one buying and I know I am not asking too much, example have a Topaz and diamond ring 14 K gold and people want to pay $50 for it we had it appraised at 3 jewelers in September it is worth $350. Trying to sell for $300 and get idiots asking if I will take $50. Amazon has never worked for me either. 9) Inspect your drive way, roof, patio, external walls and caulk as many holes and cracks as you can. Water seepage leads to expensive repairs. Hubby found a pipe leak this summer near our well and another under the house. Both got fixed. 10) Change all your light bulbs to long-life energy-efficient new generation bulbs. They cost more upfront but they save you money in the long run. We have those Here are some more. Hang clothes on a line to dry if your able; I do this Spring, Summer and Fall as long as weather permits. Wash dishes by hand it is cheaper or fill the dish washer full before you wash them so to not use hot water or soap etc. Needlessly. Recycle clean, in good shape toys, even for your kids small children forget toys after awhile and if you put them away you can always re-gift them to younger siblings etc. Save your wrapping paper and bags if they are still useable and re-use the same goes for ribbons. Take old calendars and even old greeting cards, re-cycle them using construction paper and ribbon etc.
