I've started to take public transportation to work to save gas and car maintenance. What things are you guys doing to save?

Since I don't use credit cards. I signed up for perk st, an online checking account that gives me 1% back when I select credit as payment.

Nothing much I just tried to stay home as much as possible rather then going out to eat and play.

Eating out less, going to less movies and walking more rather than riding a cab or bus.

I use coupons when I grocery shop and do not go out during the week to much or weekend to save gas.

Walking instead of transportation if I can, cutting the number of times I eat out, coupon cutting/printing, deal hunting and if making money online I try to multi task if I can.

Using coupons. Even though it doesn't sound like it saves me a lot, it does. When you combine sales and stores that double coupons, it saves me a lot of money. The money I save I can use on other things.

At the moment, I am about to get rid of my house phone; I bought a new cellphone, which works better than the house phone.  That alone will save me $37.69, which can be used on other things.  I need my high-speed internet, and my husband is talking about getting rid of the cable when we have had it for 2 years, which won't be until January.  I still have my government phone, better called Obama phone. :icon_rr: :icon_rr: :icon_rr:

Buying gift cards for places I normally frequent, Subway, Home Depot, Little Caesars, etc., through Giant Eagle to earn the fuel perks.

I joined a Shopping Community that offers members money back with every purchase.  It is invitation to join only so it is hard to share via FC.

With every purchase, I get cash back that is paid to my bank account every Tuesday.

Getting cash back on gasoline, groceries, clothing, toilet paper, cat food.........feels good.
