being unemployed has come with some hidden gifts. i've learned a few more ways how to stretch the dollar. i learned a few ways already while living in france but in america i think there are more ways to do that. lots of things that are just out there for the taking like coupons. even though the savings aren't big, i've enjoyed clipping coupons and using them. here are some other ways that i've thought of:
1. shopping at the farmer's market.
2. buying public transport passes instead of paying for each boarding, month after month.
3. making your own frozen foods
4. water - buying a brita filter or pitcher instead of buying cases of bottled water.
5. however, for soda, many stores have sales on cases (2 or 3 cases for $10), or on the 2 liter size. buying a can of soda at work a few days a week adds up.
6. getting fruit from your friends and/or relatives fruit trees :)
that's all for now. hopefully i'll figure out some more.
