Cheap bastards, give me your favorite money saving tips.

Buy what you can in bulk at places like Costco.

Dont own a truck. I get 25-30 mpg in my hybrid that I payed a little over 5000 for which is so nice given the circumstances.

Depending on your age, shopping on Depop and similar apps/sites is a good way to get quality clothes for cheap. I shop for the streetwear look that is only really considered fashionable for 16-30 year olds though.

Pasta is cheap, little caesars/dominos is cheap. If you want to run 70 mpw on a budget this is the way.

Don't get married/gamble half your assets.

Learn to cook. Seriously.

Learn to make basic meals from produce you buy in the grocery store. This will not only be cheaper but it will keep you a lot healthier for your whole life.

Also, DoorDash is an awesome asset. If you live in a good area, you can average 20-25 an hour, you can do it whenever. If you go out for 2-3 hours every day or two it adds up quick.

- Don't get a hotel the night before races, just drive in the morning

- race xc and track unattached instead of expensive road races. look at stuff on directathletics

- library, goes without saying

- stay at cheap motels when you travel, you're not going to be spending much time there except to sleep anyways - you can go out for a nice dinner and still come out ahead

-eat at coffee shops/cafes over restaurants - you can save around $10 a meal.

- pack food and don't eat out at all during the work day

- subscribe to streaming services only for the shows you specifically want to watch and cancel when you're done

- park outside of state parks when possible, unless they're free

I love that, player.

Hey not everyone can hit a "millionaire maker" on draft kings or fan duel in their lifetime for 7 figures. All it takes is one. People win it every week. but people also win the lottery every week too. Most people don't hear of them because they don't live in LA or California or Texas or Florida where most of them move.

This. Some people on here find this concept very triggering, but you can actually eat healthier while spending less money by making meals at home.

Shop at Grocery Outlet if you have one

Buy work clothes at Target and return them a few months later. Just wash them, they take them all back.

Hook up a reverse osmosis water system for $100 under your sink. You’ll get fluoride free water and not have to ever buy water.

Find an REI near you and buy a bunch of great gear for a mountain adventure, then return it all. Suckers on here don’t mind their high prices.

Work at an independent living facility for awhile. Residents die often and you can get their good furniture and family members just want to get rid of it.

Tell all your friends and relatives if they want to see you they can come to your house if they live far away, and if they live close, tell them you only want to see them at their houses.

Please explain how this--learning to cook--is "triggering." Is this an American concern? I don't get it.

Fat Americans don't like preparing their food. They like to be fed twinkies like an obese baby bird.

Move back into your parents basement

Don't hire a pool boy. Between the filter pump and the robot, it doesn't take much to give it a quick skim. I even wash my own car from time to time.

But what if my parents already live in their parent's basement. It would be like one of those Russian nesting dolls.

No car.

Live where you can walk to shop. Use Uber / Rent when you need something else. This one is very tough for a person's ego... unless they are rich, like me.

People like to believe that fat Americans are somehow forced to be fat by their economic circumstances. They follow this ridiculous notion that being poor = having to eat at McDonalds all the time, when in reality it would be cheaper to make healthy food at home than to get fat eating fast food.

take up a sport like running, or hiking, rather than one like skiing, cycling, golf.

And don't be tempted by the fact that it appears they are actually enjoying themselves rather than reeling in pain.
