How much do you think you'll save....

I'm homeschooled, we don't have money for expensive habits like coffee..or luxuries like restauraunts...and we don't have alot of gadgets and appliances in the first place 'cause we're somewhat old fashioned (it's cheaper that way)... So, there's not much lifestyle we can really modify...which is rather frustrating, considering the times, heh. Not that I'm gonna complain...

I don't buy coffee from Starbucks. I do however occasionally buy coffee drinks from Sheetz but it's not that often. However, one of the biggest things that I really need to work on to cut down on my spending is eating out or ordering in. I think ordering food while we're in our apartment is a hard habit to break. I really want to change how often I spend money on certain things and obviously the first task that I want to work on is how often we order in or buy food out. Before, ordering food in wasn't something that we did often. However, this year it seems we're relying on that more and I know the food we can order is sometimes so much better than what we can get here in the apartment or what we can eat while at the school cafe, sometimes it's better to save money than to worry about eating out and eating this food that we really do not need to have.

modestly, i will still be able to save this year. it will be coming from cutting expenses on entertainment and recreational activities. one movie in a month will save me $10. walking from house to the nearest terminal will save me $12. i think i will start unplugging the appliances so that my power bill will be reduced. now i am more conscious on what and where i spend my money. i think this is a good sign that i will be able to save modest amount this year.

I don't buy coffee from starbucks, shoot I don't really even like coffee. I don't ear out daily, maybe1-2x a month if that. I usually bring lunch to work if I work a long enough shift. I do unplug things at home especially hubby's coffee pot, drives me nuts that he leaves it plugged in & there's no need for it.

Don't forget you can save money if you quit smoking. Not just the price of the smokes, but a lot of companies are starting to offer discounts on health insurance if you aren't a smoker. Another thing to cut that adds up are the snacks and sodas at work, or when you fill up the car.

I do, i went onto the moneysavingforum and theres a section there that will calculate for you how much you will save in a year by giving up a certain thing, I could have saved over £200 on milkshakes, so I stopped gettin 'em.

I never buy coffee from Starbucks and I don't eat out daily. I always take leftovers to work for lunch and I do unplug things at home so I guess that I would not save much more than I do now. However, I have to figure out a way to cut some of the utility expense as our electric bill is over $400 this month and there is no way that I can afford that. It is insane that it costs that much!
