Hi – I’m an 18 year old student in Singapore. I am taking a personal finance class, so I’ve been interested in finding different ways to save money when I’m older, out of the house, and can’t spend my parents money anymore unfortunately… Anyway, I literally agree with everything you have said here. Quality vs. the price of things (the coffee), my parents do the exact same thing. I loved the infomercial comment, I actually LOL’d, because I miss watching TV in the States and seeing those so corny commercials (Snuggies… really?) And I can proudly say I have not spent ANY money, and neither have my parents, on those things.

Love the blog – really informative.

A big way that people waste money is on food. When you go shopping think about how you will use each item. For instance, don’t by a block of cheese for that special sunday chip dip if you are not going to use the rest of it later in the week. A lot people don’t realize the power of tracking exactly how much you are wasting each month. Food isn’t cheap these days.

I have a soft spot for books, and I spend too much money on them. I do also borrow books from the library, but as I was studying towards my advanced degree, I found that it was a lot handier to have instant access to certain books (both reference and otherwise) than to put in the time and effort to pick out those books from the library.

Still, I buy too many books, and I should cut it down.

The library would be nice but they have their limits too. ATM’s once were not a problem when you had stores that allowed you to take cash advances at the registers without fees.

If you want gourmet coffee for cheap, roast at home. Green beans are $5-6 per pound. You can rig your own roaster in the oven for free, or the less expensive commercial ones run about $150. Considering store bought good coffee costs $12-14 per pound, the roaster will pay off in about 30 pounds of coffee. That about 6 months of my coffee intake.

beware buying a Costco and Sams. sometimes the prices are the same as the regular grocery store. Do the math before you buy.
Plus that electronic device your getting cheap may not be the same quality at the Electronic store.

Cutting coupons, really, is mostly good if you are big into buying food from the inside aisles of the store. And that stuff is mostly junk! If you eat fresh veggies, fruit, meat and the – there is no need for coupons.
