Hi Y,
I found this article with 168 ways to be frugal.
I hope it helps

I consider myself a frugal person. When it comes to buying anything new, I check my local thrift stores or shop on eBay to see if I can get the item cheaper. It seems that the only time I decide to spend too much money is when I go to the grocery store hungry.
Besides clipping coupons and going without a night on the town with my husband, I wondered what else I could do to step up my frugality. Lynnae over at beingfrugal.net asked her readers to send her their frugal tips on surviving when money is tight http://www.diylife.com/search/?q=money and dollars need to be stretched.
Her readers came through in a big way, so she compiled a list of 168 frugal tips to survive a recession.

From saving money on grocery shopping, utilities, transportation, and clothing to saving money on miscellaneous necessities, Lynnae breaks down the great tips her readers have offered into nine categories. While not all the tips are feasible for everyone, there certainly are tips that everyone will be able to utilize.

This is a great site. There are many ideas that are new to me here. And the site makes it seem fun to live frugal. It was fun to look at other pages on the site and see what else it had to offer. Thank you for the link.
