i try to stuff all my week's laundry into the smallest machines at the laundromat.

I buy $5 Mets tickets and work my way down field.

i check fatwallet, bensbargains, and AT hot deal at least 20x a day.

i watch my "minutes" for my cell.

sometimes i refill my poland spring bottle ... more than once.

I do *ALL* my own car repairs. I reuse shipping boxes (well, until recently, when I discovered that USPS hands them out for FREE), and I sell things that I got for free.

I pay all my bills online, so I don't have to pay for stamps or checks.

If I need (or want) and electronics or games, I check Craigslist and Anantech FS/FT first.

I won't step into a Best Buy / Circuit City except to get their TY DVD-R or +R, when they are less than $10.

I change my own oil and do my own car repairs, when possible.

I use coupons at the grocery store.

I also ask for sauces after I've payed.
I water-down most cleaning products but thats cuz I feel they are too strong.
Try to do most car stuff myself.

I download many things. But usually stuff that cannot be purchased anymore.

You'll just use more TP that way.

or waste more money on the extra soap to clean your hands later
