Our friends meet once a month and take turns cooking dinner. We call it Supper Club. It is a lot of fun and free three out of four months. M.D.
I started carpooling. I am saving $60 in gas every other week. I thought it would be a hassle, but it is working out well. I like company. T.T.
My son always has his teenage friends over and they eat non-stop. I stock up on snacks at Aldi, a discount store. I can get a paper grocery bag full of chips, pizza, and cereal for $8. B.E.
Family movie marathon night -we rent two movies, then make popcorn with M & M's, then relax and watch movies and eat snacks. The total cost is about $10. Going to one movie at the theater and getting snacks would cost us about $40 for our family of four. K.B.
I stopped going home every day during my lunch hour. Instead, I eat in the break room at work four out of five days. The food cost the same, but I save 15 miles a day on my car. This is about $2.50 in gas savings each day or about $500 a year, not to mention the wear and tear on my car. J.S.
I used to buy mulch from the local nursery at a cost of $180 per year. Now I go to the recycling center and get it for free. It is not quite as perfect looking, but it does look good enough and it is FREE. K.S.
I am cutting my own grass instead of paying the neighbor kid. I need the exercise anyway. Savings this year - $400. B.H.
