for the few of you who don't already know these:

when i need to cut down on spending i look at food and drink first. getting delivery and eating out add up soo much. when in a crunch, buy cold cuts, bread, pasta, macaroni and cheese, eggs. you can cut down the expense of a meal from $8-10 to ~$2 only difference is you have to make the food.

probably more common knowledge, but i keep my place stocked with natural light and vladimir, not sure what your local shitbeer and shitvodka is, but they are essential for pregaming. showing up to a bar sober is sure to empty your wallet, plus you're missing out on the fake social skills that 3-4 drinks will give you before you get there

oh, and sell stuff you haven't used in the last 6 months on ebay. don't be all poor and shit when your 360's collecting dust.
