“ I ralized that I washed my cloths every weekend, and that costs me $3.50. Then I figured out that if I buy more underwears, since they are the reason I wash my loths more often, I will save more. I calculated it on the long run and realized that if I buy more underwears, then I will wash evry 2-3wweks, instead of the weekly laundry. So i suggest that we buy more underwears to pay the laufry machine less and pay ourselves more”

“ I just finished grad school and it took me a long time to realize that the best place to shop for books is the library. The school library usually has a few copies of most text books, but so do the public libraries (esp. if you're near a major city area). Also, if your school does not have a book in its library, you can try inter-library loan or some other school sharing tool for getting the book. The best thing about this approach is that it is FREE! Finally, if you're enrolled at school you can try to get a library card for other colleges/universities in your area. This means even greater access to free books!”

Mallory B. says...
“ Anytime you go out to a restaurant, order water It might not be quite as tasty but is that soda REALLY worth 2.35? You'd be surprised how big of a difference it can make in the long run. Think about it, ordering water ten times could save you 23.50 That's enough for another dinner”
