I pretty much just don't spend it on anything. I don't go shopping, except for groceries, and I only buy the stuff I went there for.

I also have a job. That helps a lot.

Get into a university that is 5 minutes from your house.
No I'm never serious.

started by quitting smoking. This was HUGE so so HUGE
i dont drink very much anymore, just sorta get stoned at parties
make everything at home as others have said
i dont tip. Im a student, im broke, i need my money more then the cab driver/waitress/barber
on that note, i dont eat out
i walk instead of taking cabs
and just dont get my hair cut at all, it grows slow and as long as i wear a hat i stay presentable
tea instead of coffee, even making it at home tea is cheaper, and way better.

Public transit, biking, or walking instead of driving. Unless you own a Prius with an access sticker on it.

Take advantage of any deals and price cuts in supermarkets

I used to take food from my parents house and i spent almost nothing but rent. Sadly, i got kicked out from that house and im staying with my parents again -_-

But now god damn 3 hour travels to my uni are killing me, i cant stay awake in class. I spend almost all my money in coffee lol.

Oh and the haircuts i take are like $1.5 lol. I could go for 20 times that if i wanted, but it feels like its the same shit unless you really know your stylist, and im too cheap to find out.

And my uni has a good ammount of stores, even a grocery market with pretty good discounts for students, and where i stayed there was no phone, tv, internet and we we used cans of gas or whatever you called them, and we got them cheap, i was able to live off $150 a month very easily. Now with my parents, its different heh. Transportation takes that ammount of money away rather easily now.

- No drugs, alcohol, coffee, junk food, soda, etc.
- Essential shopping (I buy clothes about once every year or 2, and even then I don't buy that much)
- Bare essentials to make dinner at home
- Stay with relatives/friends as often as possible to avoid rent
- Be as cheap as possible regarding all aspects of life.
Soli Deo gloria.

Get a depression (Will stop you from doing any expensive activities), start to live on only spaghetti + ketchup + water + vitamin/mineral pills, no other substance is allowed enter your system (Cheaper than ramen), look things up on wikipedia instead of buying course literature, don't waste paper by taking lecture notes, always make your friend print the papers when handing in group reports, shave your head instead of cutting it or get a gf to do it for you.

Lol, you save money by not eating very much, yet you smoke?

The french model diet works wonders for some
1/2 a pack of smokes, and an apple a day.
it does cover the bare minimum.
