I try to keep to that budget or less. Anyone interested feel free to download from my site http://cashflowdiscipline.com Interesting article!

I must admit its hard to fanthom RM20 for a glass when a bottle's RM300 with many many glasses.. What I do to save money...hmm. Now, keep this a secret, but grocery stores (esp those with a bakery) sells their expiring-today foodstuff very dirt cheap towards the end of the day.Check out the closing times, and go half an hour before that.They rather sell it to you cheaply than throw it away. I have gotten freshly baked pies (baked earlier that morning) for £0.05,wheras if I were to go 2 hours earlier,that same pie is retailling for £1.20 With 24-hours grocery chains, there is a certain time when they send staff around reducing things,and this is usually I find around dinner time,when most people had just finished their grocery and gone back for dinner,therefore the expiring today items are not going to go like hot cakes. We used to stalk Sainsbury around 7.30pm, cause that is when a whole roast chicken retailing for £2.99 shoots down to £1. Call me a cheapo,but I dont care..:) YC: Start off with bottles,that way you’ll save more! I must admit its hard to fanthom RM20 for a glass when a bottle’s RM300 with many many glasses..

And yes, a good question to always ask yourself is, "Do I really need it?" ian: don't be a scrooge but there are ways to scrimp and save that's for sure. Kynne: good tips especially with the loose change. As for your #6, I think it's more of a cultural thing. ;) damion: I already mentioned that!

Sometimes 3 for $10 tshirts are better than 1 for $10! If want better quality clothes, wait for seasonal sale, up to 70% of original price! 5) Avoid sweets, chocolates, candies and other junk snacks. Can more coins and cut down on a lot of calories. 6) *Not sure about this one being done by many, but I know I do wash myself after the big or small business. Hehehehe.. So... Use towel instead of toilet paper roll. Save paper and money! Ok, tak boleh fikir lagi. :D How do I save me money on daily basis hmm…

1) Bring water bottle to school

2) Check wallet everyday at home (after coming back from school) for 20c, 50c and $1.00 coins, proceed to “deposit” in koala coin bank. -> Can save at least $100 every month

I'll pay more attention to my daily expenditures then, since I need to save money to buy a car (which I probably believe would cause me to spend more in the future!) But it is nonetheless a necessity in Australia. This is good stuff!

I was reading an article recently in some magazine about the same topic; saving money. They followed a woman around for a week, observing her spending habits. in the end, they told her she could be saving an extra few hundred dollars at least per week if she just changed her spending habits. it was just little things like not buying three coffees a day, eating out less, not buying a $5 juice when she could make something similar home, returning her DVDs on time, etc. etc. but in the end, it all adds up. she changed her spending habits and ended up saving over a grand a month! just goes to show, it IS the little things that all add up. do you really need ANOTHER pair of shoes/jumper/cup of coffee??

Recycle Old Furnitures. I'd turn a cabinet into a coffee table if the wood is still in good condition, then repaint it or laminate with formica. Or I'd saw an old coffee table top into half and mount it into the walls to make shelves. 2. All that furniture DIYing requires some strength, I can take it as a form of exercise and save the trip & money to the gym. 3. Make use of the wool from some old pillows, transform it into sofa cushions with covers sewn using old curtains. Give the cushions a good sunning and it will not smell. The sunshine is FOC too. 4. Buy books during Annual Book Fair, most of them are selling at minimum 50% cheaper than normal retail price. 5. Newspapers are good for wiping glasses and mirrors. It's as effective as cleaning detergents. A bottle of detergent cost at least $3, newspapers cost only 80cents per copy. 6. Drink plenty of plain water instead of soda, coffee, tea etc... it's the cheapest drink, healthiest and gives our skin enough collagen to slow down aging. That saves me lotsa money from buying beauty product and going to the spa. 1. Recycle Old Furnitures.
