ways i save $$$


1. i've been cooking at home and saving $$$ and have discovered that i really like broccolli after all!!!  :)

2. i re-use grocery bags as trash bags.

3. i get books free from bookcrossing!

4. i hardly ever pay full prices for books anymore.  instead, i shop for books at discounts at bookxcess and warehouse sales where i can buy the books at a fraction of the original retail prices.

5. i load up on essential items during sales.

6. i put my change in  a glass jar and when it is full, i have extra cash!!!  :)

7. i buy local fruits in season (my favourites are mangosteens and rambutans)!!!

8. i take my newspapers, plastics, cardboard boxes and tin cans to the recycling centre and make some cash $$$

9. i recycle A4 paper by printing on the other side

10. i make my credit card's cash back rewards programme work for me. 

11. i collect points when shopping in 1-utama.

12. i collect points with bonuslink when i shop at any of its retailers

12. i read free newspapers or i go online to read the news.

13. i use skype to talk long distance.

14. i make sure that all electrical appliances (except for the fridge) are switched off when i leave home.

15. i read books instead of watch movies (it takes longer to finish reading a book).

16. i go grocery shopping with a list.

17. i always make a point to compare prices and read the labels before i make a decision.

18. i carry my own shopping bags to avoid the extra charges for plastic bags over the weekends.
