It's also about adding variety and make it interesting to brown bag at times. Having a little surprise/treat in your brown bag is a good way to incite some excitement! @Super Saver, that’s a good balance.

For me, I like to eat out for lunch everyday. It is not fun to brown bag it everyday. However, as a compromise, I will eat out a couple of times a week and bring my lunch the rest of the time.

When there are sudden outbursts of speed, the car's engine will use more gasoline than usual. I think besides the savings, your passengers also will thank you for a smoother and less erratic ride! @lpkitten, excellent tip!

I especially like the tip about buying gas in the morning or evening! Another gas saving tip: drive at a more constant speed. I play a game with myself in traffic. I try to keep it at exactly the right speed so I don't have to brake. Makes traffic a little more bearable! Nice article! I especially like the tip about buying gas in the morning or evening!

You're right about that one. When I was in the States, I've noticed that the portions of food were relatively larger than what we get here, so your idea's fantastic! Over here, I try to finish my food where possible. If not, I'll get a smaller sized portion on the menu, if it's available. Or I'll share with my friends to cut on wastage. Hey Pat, thank you!

When we eat out, my husband and I always get a carry-out bag and usually bring half of our meal home rather than letting the restaurant throw it away. Don't forget to add some of the bread that comes in a basket with your meal. These are really great tips.

Like for myself, I basically don't spend much on meals, transport either, except for the occasional downtown chillout with my pals. Your mobile package is really a great deal. I'm paying a low $12 each month for a local provider and that's considered quite cheap. Yours' even better! @Kisten, oh shucks, how could I forget about the library! It's a treasure trove for me as that's where I get my personal development fixes from. Unless it's a book I can't get from there, I'll buy online. Thanks for the additional tip on the newspapers / mag. you gals are great savers!

I brown bagged for years and saved a lot. Another suggestion: read magazines and newspapers at the library instead of buying them daily/weekly. Great tips! I brown bagged for years and saved a lot.

I always try to cook extra dinner so that both my husband and I can eat leftovers for lunch. I have to say that working from home also offers some major savings opportunities. I barely put any miles on my car, I only have to put gas in my car every two or three weeks, and I do not have to spend a lot of money on work clothes! We've also saved a lot of money by switching our phone to Vonage. We were also barely using our cell phones, but didn't want to give them up (who wants to be stranded with a two-year-old and no cell phone, right?) so we switched to a very inexpensive pay-as-you-go plan that costs me about $25 every three months.
