1. quit drinking pop. water is healthier anyway. i've been pop-free except on special occasions for a good while now.
2. use coupons and subscribe to this blog! :) it's a lot of fun saving so much $
3. find a hobby. i am gardening this summer. you should, too! think of all those fresh veggies & fruits (sweet corn, tomatoes, strawberries........) think of all the $ you'll save too. read this post if you're not convinved... there are SO MANY benefits.
i also love to cook. rent movies free from the library. my guilty pleasure is restore on saturdays where i keep my budget to $5 (it's easy to do there) ...they have $5 gallon buckets of paint!
4. get rid of the cable (at least for the summer!) i have been cable-free (and proud of it) since november ($30/month is a good chunk of change). i listen to books on tape rented free from the library instead. i mean, humans survived for hundreds of years without it.. it's a relatively new thing. c'mon. challenge yourself! to a "trial month" and see how it goes.
5. try your hand at digital scrapbooking and photography. it's wonderful and FREE!
6. call your creditors! i have had numerous APRs lowered by spending 5 minutes to make a simple phone call.
7. google around.. type in "creative ways to save money".. or something to that effect. write down your top ten and actually DO THEM. you will feel better, i promise.
