I pay just under $7.00 for a carton of cigarettes!

I found a way to save money on a really bad habit of mine. My dad came to see me over this past christmas season and gave me a new way of saving money on this habit that many people share. I don't want to promote smoking, but I am glad to have found a cheaper way to do it. I still pay all the same taxes as everyone else who smokes. I just thought that if you are a smoker, like me, and you want to save money, then you might want to try rolling your own. I pay 17 something for the tobacco, a dollar and some change for each box of filter tubes, and I can get 3 cartons out of a bag of tobacco. That means I'm only paying a little over 6 dollars a carton. It only takes about 10 minutes to roll a pack and I only paid about 14 dollars for my double roller. Do you have anyways of saving money on habits that people share? My objective is to save money in anyway possible.

I've tried doing that as well but I think I'm just too lazy - it was all just too much effort for me so it didn't last long. I'm trying to get myself in the right frame of mind to stop smoking anyway ... AGAIN!!

I've been there done that. Then I got fed up with it (too lazy actually) and couldnt be bothered doing it anymore.lol. But its great if you can lower the cost significantly.

Great seems that you are working hard for money. My elders used to tell me that one way of earning is saving the money you have already. Yes, my dad used to teach me that always put money in my piggie bank and save money for bad times. I'm glad that you have shared something useful. Will try to work on it. Thanks for sharing one more secret of saving money lol.
