Ways to save money

Postby huntfishnv » Sun Jun 23, 2013 1:34 am

Title says it all. Everybody loves to have money, let's hear how you save it.

Easy way I've found is to buy frozen orange juice. Saves a few bucks every time and it only takes a couple minutes to make and tastes exactly the same.

Anytime you take money out the bank for something, don't buy anything else until you double what you took out.

Lock this thread. It is useless now that everyone knows the secret to saving money.

Define saving.
When you have no money..its called not spending what you do not have. Dificult concept .
Quit borrowing from banks. (Crazy betty talking)
Have been told that everyfuckinthing is financed since interest rates are so low.
Try NOT buying orange juice.
WITF is orange juice?

Here is how I myself save money. The CRAZY WAY!!!

If this dont turn into banker thread two...I will be amazed.

My brain went into vapor lock. Some sort of double feedback loop or so something. I started thinking, typing with both hands, and talking out loud at the same time.

One of my biggest money savers is doing everything myself. Most things people pay others to do like automotive repair, home repair... I do myself. Then my favorite way of saying money is not eating out a lot and supplementing my diet with food I've harvested myself.


Also not eating at Panara Bread saves me thousands every year.

Well, for starters I began having a fuel truck meet me at the docks so as to avoid paying north of $5 for fuel at the marina. The savings add up quickly when taking on several hundred gallons.

Secondly, I'm working on getting my private pilots license. I was paying upwards of $50/hr for a pilot, so I'm looking forward to those savings as well.

I'm also looking into indentured servants so to cut back on paid staffing at the villa - still working on the cost savings analysis.

Bringing your lunch instead of buying one every day adds up real quick (Healthier too usually), Carpooling to work when I get the chance, not buying candy/pop/sweets, having the boat up on jack stands while working on it so I'm not burning gas on the lake, starving the animals...

The single biggest money saver, bar none, is paying cash. No credit card, no debit card. Actually go to the bank and withdraw cash. It's amazing what you don't "need" when it's not convenient to buy it.

Bingo!!!
When you actually see it dwindling and your wallet is light..priorities get important.
Wants and needs.
Only buy what you need.
That is how I manage to hunt so much for so little.
My budget for hunting is around 40/day.
That includes shells, dog food, boat gas, oil, truck fuel...everything you can think of including "entertainment".
Moonshine etc.

I just thought of another way I love saving money. Avoiding big box stores, I know a lot of things can be bought there cheaper because of the volume they sell but somethings can be bought from smaller vendors for cheaper like fruits and vegetables.
