Best place to save money is to look at those regular monthly costs. Do I need more than basic phone service, cell phone, cable TV. As said above, do I need that much insurance.

For groceries, some non-brand stuff is as good as the brand stuff, some isn’t, if you don’t try new stuff you will never learn.

The don’t go shopping suggestion is really the best one. Or you when about to buy something ask yourself do I really need this? or do I need more (shoes, shirts....)

Stay out of the convenience store/vending machines and when you go out don’t spend on the extras. There is nothing like being gouged for a coke at the movies/golf course etc.

Eating out is one of the easiest things to do and the one service that everybody knows how to do themselves. Yet people still spend big money on it.
