[quote=Anonymous]Write down the top 50 things you buy and know their lowest prices. Doesn't mean you should drive all over the town looking for the best price. Knowing them and doing your best is already good start. I drink about 5 half gallons of 2 % milk a month. The lowest price is $2.29 if I'm not mistaken at TJ's. My usual go to store, Giant, sells it for $2.89 I think. That's $36 difference a year. Buying a gallon would be cheaper, but it didn't work for me somehow.
Stop buying clothes. Most grownups have enough clothes and crap. They are not going anywhere, they make more of it.
I actually ended up writing down all the things I wanted to buy suddenly (urge, was bored, thought I got a bright idea), but didn't. Saved myself from buy a tv.
I also called my phone company and asked to have a code so I can transfer to another. They gave me $50 off for a month, and I did end up lowering my bill by $15.
Stop spending mindlessly, but more than spending, try to make more by picking up a part time job. It will keep you from  having too much free time to shop. 
Only you know your personal situation. I have tailored to mine and it works well for me. Most things people write about in frugal blogs don't concern me at all. I love to learn know new tips, but they are hard to come by after years of knowing and doing most.[/quote]
