Cutting Cost



How frugal are you when it comes to cutting costs?

 I am pretty cheap....
I don't turn the thermostat up above 68, 64 at night...
I buy all my groceries on sale (well 99%) loss leaders and lots of them....
I take advantage of freebies.....
I will fix what I have before buying a new one if I can......
I trade or barter for some things now...
I shop at yard sales and thrift stores for clothes and housewares...
I check all the bills and watch what the cashier rings up, I don't get overcharged for ANYTHING !!!!!!!
I have energy efficient appliances, and keep the water heater blanketed and on 120 degrees f.....
I reuse containers for leftovers or crafting.......
There are more, but it's early....
*I keep the heat off until I just can't take it anymore.
*Upgraded to Premium calling plan on our phone bill, because we were spending a lot calling our families (in another county).
*I buy all generic/store brands
*I use coupons for brands I am loyal to, combining them with sales
*We no longer have a cell phone That's all I can think of. These are some of the things that I do with other people's suggestions as well. So my Cheap Cheetah Family share what you do to cut your  cost?
Have a great Cheap Cheetah Day and Save That Money!!

  1. I use public transportation as much as possible. I stopped going to the movie theatre; I go the library and get the free movies or watch free online movies and YT videos. I do my own natural hair. I limit eating out to a bare minimum (this was a true budget buster in the past). I look for free or inexpensive social activities. Cut my own grass now. Unplugged appliances that are not in use. No cable.

    I'm sure there are more...lol
