Joe's Penny Pinching Tips | 15 Dirt-Cheap Dates | Cut Your Monthly Expenses in Half, Joe-Style

A. He'll cry for day, but it's good to experience disappointment when you're still developing.
B.Odds are his parents'll get him a brand new one anyway. Everybody wins!
C. Bikes last forever and they take you everywhere a car or bus does.
2. Don’t buy light bulbs
Bring a backpack to a friend’s apartment on a sunny day. Take the bulbs out of their fridge, lamps, ceiling lights, bathrooms, etc. Make sure to do this only in rooms where they won’t miss them in the next few minutes. As soon as you have as good chunk, find an excuse to leave.
3. Go to bakeries at closing
They'll give you free carbs! Who doesn't love a delicious 22-hour ripened muffin? The berries really get a chance to soak...
4. Recycling cans
Not just for the homeless anymore. You are literally flushing money DOWN THE TOILET every time you throw one out!
5. Go to all-you can buffets.
Line the pockets of your jacket, pants and fanny pack with plastic bags.
6. The only hygienic product you need is soap.
Take an empty soap dispenser into any reliable public bathroom and pump your little heart out. Fancy department stores are good because I found they have the best smelling choices.
7. Save the plastic wrap from food containers.
It can be tricky to wash but there's always a way to reuse it. The wawa indians used the ENTIRE animal.
8. Sell your friend’s stuff on Ebay.
Charge them 50% of the sale price, then hire someone else to do it at 30%. For those of you keeping track at home, that's 20% for doing NOTHING
9. Sign up to be a haircut model.
I go about once every couple of months. If you can’t find a place, cut it yourself or, better yet, not at all.
10. Never join a gym
Keep signing up for trial weeks
11. Sign up for clinical studies
Generally you don’t do much and sometimes they even give you food afterwards. ( If you act woozy, odds are you'll get a juice box.
12. Valuepak Coupons are your friend.
Horde those suckers. Expiration dates are negotiable
13. Start a dog walking service
Gather all of the clients and then hire neighborhood kids to walk the dogs while make even more money doing something else.
14. Save pizza sauce
If you get a slice with more sauce that you want, take off the cheese and then scrape the excess sauce into a bag for later use on pasta. Replace the cheese.
15. Go to info seminars
Like the ones they tend to have for timeshares, etc. Take some bags and grab the snacks. Fight the urge to buy a timeshare.
