Funny Ways To Save Money
I saw a list of funny ways to save money
on a "frugal living" website. I'm not sure they were
necessarily meant to be funny, but were gleaned from real suggestions
sent in. Some cheapskates don't seem to notice that an extra
hour at work might put them further ahead than many hours of
penny-pinching.
The following are real suggestions, and
then there are some funny ways to save money that you really
shouldn't try.
Funny Ways To Save Money - The
Real Suggestions
One person suggested ways to save money
on weddings that included picking up the leftover flowers at
a cemetery. I'm not sure how you can tell which are "leftovers."
Another creative penny pincher found a
way to save money on a car wash. He washed his entire car using
the squeegee at the gas station.
A woman confessed that she has the kids
stuff their pockets with the free ketchup, salt and other condiment
packets every time they were in a fast food restaurant. That's
not all, though. She actually had the kids squeeze ketchup and
mustard from the packets into regular jars of ketchup and mustard,
and claims she hasn't bought these condiments in years.
To save money on an umbrella, one man suggests
going to the lost and found department of any large public library.
Tell them you lost a black umbrella. They will have several,
from which you can pick the best one and claim it as your own.
Call people long-distance when you know
they won't be home. Leave a message for them to call. That way,
they pay for the long-distance call.

Try This At Home
Don't pay baby sitters! Get young couples
who are thinking about having kids to "rent" yours
for the evening. They get to see what it will be like, and you
can get paid instead of paying for sitters.
Turn off the TV and all the lights to save
electricity. Tell the kids it's a game of hide-and-seek.
Train your dog to beg for food from strangers,
so you won't have to buy dog food.
Rub pine needles under your arms instead
of buying deodorant.
Take extra napkins from fast food restaurants
to save on toilet paper.
Borrow your neighbors toothbrush instead
of buying your own.
Visit friends around dinner time to get
free meals.
If I write a book on ways to save money,
funny or not, will I make much in sales, or will everyone take
my suggestion and borrow it from the library instead of buying
it?
