13. Don’t buy something simply because you have a coupon for it. Clip coupons, but only for what you need. You can use the newspaper or print out coupons online.
14. Choose meat cuts you can serve in different dishes to avoid waste. Round steak, for example, is great in stew, stir-fry, Stroganoff, chili and even hamburgers if you have a meat grinder.
15. Plant a vegetable garden. It’s a funy hobby that keeps you active and puts food on your table. Those without back yards can participate in community gardens, or just grow herbs on your windowsill.
16. When grocery shopping, stick to your list. Impulse buys really add up – and they can easily bust your budget.
17. Don’t buy trendy foods. They’re more expensive and less versatile than real food.
18. Make your shopping list while checking your store’s weekly specials. Plan your menus to include these specials.
19. Stock up on discounted foods that have a long freezer life or shelf life.

50 WAYS TO SAVE MONEY
(Visited 35 times, 1 visits today)
Some of these tips are good, some a bit on the common sense side and some need a little tweaking like
Number 5 – you don't have to wash whites in hot, cold for all clothes works.
Number 10, use energy efficient bulbs because they will save you more than fluorescent lights, not only in energy costs but also because they last for years.
Number 14 – go vegetarian, it saves money, animals and your health which saves money on trips to the doctor (not to mention costly cancer treatments and bypass surgeries!)
Number 51 – don't buy bottled water, invest in a filtration system, even the pitcher varieties sold at major chain stores and use a reusable bottle.
Bottled water is a biggie and should be obvious. I'm trying to cut down on meat too. There are a number of ways not to 'buy in' literally….
Your guidelines are great – if just more people would do them!
Laundry can use a lot of energy if not done wisely. The new front-loading horizontal drum washing machines not only use less water, they then spin the clothes SO FAST that they come out almost dry!
Then just put those 'almost dry' clothes on a stylish laundry drying rack like this one (maybe set up under a ceiling fan?) and you will have saved a ton of energy by not using the clothes dryer at all.
