Use your neighbors wireless network.
To get some of your tax money back us the town halls photo copier. Ours doesn't charge for copies. :)
If you need to make a quick phone call ask the person next to you if you can use there phone for a minute.
To save gas I put my car in neutral down all big hills
When you go out to eat ask for extra butters, jams and crackers, So now you get a lunch the next day and some goodies too. :) Sometimes ask for extra grave too. Meatloaf is always dry when you bring it home. They never give you enough. :) Can do the same thing with sour cream too. Especially when you buy nachos
Light bulbs are everywhere if you look close around.
Skateboarding behind a car to get to work is cheaper than using your own car.

:thumbsup good luck.

Why use a restroom at all? What's wrong w/the woods and the leaves? (Just make sure you don't grab poison ivy, oak or sumac!)
This is too horrible to even imagine.

Walk a mile in another's shoes....so that you have a mile's head start by the time he realizes you have his shoes.

The Dollar Store here sells the Sunday paper on Monday, at 50 cents off. Coupons and all! Not as funny as the rest of the hints, but your post brought it to mind...

Don't subscribe to cable or sattelite. Find a neighbor who likes the same shows you do, and watch TV through his living room window. With today's large screen TVs and most people not closing their curtains, it's almost as good as watching at home! Bring a lawn chair. :cool:

Sneak your sheep over into the next pasture at night for supplemental grazing and then call them back home~quietly~ with a shake of the can of feed before first light. If they are discovered, just say, "Those darn sheep are always gettin' out! I'm so sorry!"

If you need to go to the dr.- when they leave you alone for that 1/2 hour before the dr. actually comes in, check the cabonet for bandades and gause pads. Take your big purse!
