The best way to save money, is to stop spending it. Eat cheap shit like beans and eggs on toast, have cheap hobbies, get your clothes books and shit from thrift stores, wear a sweater instead of using the central heating, if you have a fireplace heat your living room with coal and sleep there

Make a sandwich at home and bring it to the office.
Don't work from home. That's for trannies.
If you are already a tranny, then just end your life already. Everyone is waiting for you to do it.
Always buy the cheap gas. It makes no difference.
If you see an ant, catch it and keep it as a pet. You can always eat ants if you're hungry.
Always take free food at work. Even if you're not hungry. You can feed it to your pet ants at home.

Don’t scan expensive items at self checkout
Put ground beef price stickers on rib eye
Type in code for peanuts but weigh a bag full of pistachios
Scan 2 packs of water but put 3 in the cart
Always smile and be polite to the wagies and they’ll never bother you
That’s how I save money

This. I have basically zero expenses. The upsides of moving out to try to pick up nasty trim from bars or something isn't worth being a broke cunt beholden to someone else's paycheck.

these days you can't even move out unless you have a partner, well you can but its complete slavery and no chance at saving. everyone will be a 40 year old neet at parents place soon.

1. Commit petty theft
2. Save on toilet paper by buying a bidet. It has the secondary benefit of cleaning your anus after homosexual intercourse.

Also since we're discussing it, how likely is it to get caught dining and dashing?
If caught, can they really do anything about it, like legally, other than ban you from the store?
I'm thinking I want a good fancy meal

So move then nignog this isn't stone age you can move long distances. Go to a cheap location and buy a cheap place. I recomend getting the smallest apartment you can find in a small city in some god forsaken part of the world, that's how you poormaxxx. A house will do you no good, bills will bankrupt you. A little 1 room cell is all you need

i have a legitimate tip
pick up a mind numbing hobby that you can sell
i do crochet while i listen to my podcasts or watch my teleprograms
a few hours of watching tv and you can sell it for like 15 pounds
learn amigurumi cause thats the cute small dolls that people like
not bad for watching teleprogram

I would imagine it probably depends on where you live, how fancy the restaurant is etc. If you are melanin enriched thefts under a few grand probably will never even get pursued in a big city.

Though a nice place would be far more likely to catch you on cams and maybe have the connections to do something about it. I personally wouldn't risk it.

I don't use HVAC, and I just suffer brutal heat waves.

>> No.51298580

If you have a power station and/or power banks, take them to work and fully charge them there, use them when at home.
Get into reading it's low/no cost and extremely beneficial hobby.
Put on a wearable sleeping bag while around the house if cold and never heat your home.
Never eat out, ever, learn to cook and cook in bulk.
Don't be afraid of getting 2nd hand stuff like furniture, most of the time just need a clean or a screw in the door hinge or something.
Take things like toilet roll or cleaning supplies from work.
You don't need to drink anything other than water, no goy syrup or alcohol.
You don't need a TV at all, sell it.
Learn to fix rather than throw away and buy another.
Stop buying things that people commonly buy which are just junk and have no actual proven benefit like supplements, skin creams, and trash like that.
Grow your own food to add to your meals, you don't have to go full farmer mode and live off the land.
Whatever you go to buy online, add it to your basket but don't buy it. Come back to it 2 weeks later and if you still really want it then go for it but you will find 95% of stuff you will remove.

This. A/C is one thing but heating is not required.
Hell if I could cool my house to 60 without paying a fortune, I would.
Plus if you're not totally maladjusted then it just means more cuddling up with your gf.

Cashback looks little until you realize how much you gain back ending of the year after accumulating it.
