Please add your own tips....FReepers are an amazing group and have great ideas.

One from me:

-Cable tv. No reason to spend money on it, except maybe to get internet service. Lots of stuff on youtube and netflix.

A VERY SMALL list of things I get FREE via coupons:

Body wash
Aspirin
Advil
Cold Medicine
Milk (often)
Grey Goose Vodka (Barter...trading for Body Wash I get FREE)
BO Sticks
Toothpaste
Annnnd lots more including my BEST freebie yet...A brand new Compaq Presario computer. I got that 2 years ago and since the reviews for Windows 8 are not good I just might keep it for a couple more years.

1. Don't go to Las Vegas.

2. Gasoline - pump up your tires

3. Health Care - don't get your leg amputated, take the blue pill.

4. Stop buying Arugula

5. Don't buy Wedding Presents - send the money to Zer0

6. Get the million airs and billion airs to pay your fair share of taxes.

Campaign contributions top my list of wasted money.

Donations to lobbying groups are up there, too

New vehicles. The depreciation for the first mile driven on a new vehicle can be up to 20%.

2. Gasoline - pump up your tires

Actually I did get gasoline for FREE on two occasions during the past year. Almost exactly a year ago I got FREE gasoline for a week and then again this year from late June to early August. It's not easy to accomplish but it is doable. The worst thing about getting FREE gasoline is when the deal ends and you have to go back to paying for gasoline. I sort of went into mourning in August when my gasoline deal ended.

PSST! I've been using FREE Tide for over a year now via coupons. First the liquid but now I get Tide Pods which is easier to get FREE via coupons. Only trouble was convincing my wife to use Tide Pods.

Users of the free tax software are a good source of income to me when they rely solely on the software. Fixing their tax notices brings in off season revenue which is always good.

- Junk insurance. This is stuff like insurance policies that pay off your mortgage if you die, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, etc. Only exception would be if you can’t get any other coverage.
