Mr. Tightwad's Extremely Hardcore Tips on Saving Money Continued

11)Donate Your T.V. to Charity : Everytime you watch T.V. it's obvious that the good guy always beats the bad guy in the end. Certain cable stations like to brainwash you to death with the same movie over and over.
12)Endorse Cable Modems not 56k Modems : Why waste time with a slow download when you can download something from the Web in much less time with a cable modem. You're more guaranteed to hook up to your favorite site with a cable modem and be blocked out trying to connect with a regular modem.
13)Go Dutch on Pay-Per-Views : It doesn't make sense to watch a wrestling Pay-Per-View all by yourself. Another great excuse to get together with buddies. If you watch a $30 Pay-Per-View by yourself you don't get to enjoy it where as you would with your fellow comrades. If you invite, for example, 3 people over then split the cost then you're only paying $7.50 for the Pay-Per-View.
14)Do 50% with the Opposite Sex when Dining Out : The problem with 1 person paying for it all is their pocket is twice as empty where as if you went dutch you would have 50% more in your wallet at the end of the evening.
15)Buy Non-Alcoholic Drinks at Bars : A prime example is this bar where I go regularly. A mixed drink would run in the $3 to $5 range. A beer runs for about $2.50. A juice cost about $1.50. Tonic water only costs a dollar. Certain bars vary in their pricing so pay close attention to pricing.
16)Keg at Home : If you're not to fond of tipping then this is ideal for you. That 1 beer for $2.50 goes nowhere where as when you buy a 12 pack for $7 on special you only pay $.58 per beer. Almost saving $2 dollars per beer just in case you have the late night munchies for a couple of fast food burgers later to sober you up.
17)Share your Exercise Tapes : Those tapes really grow old and boring after a while. If you have friends who use exercise tapes see if you can borrow theirs in exchange for yours. As always consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
18)Only do Entertainment that's Equal to or Less than your Hourly Salary : Nowadays going to a rock concert can cost you in the $35 to $50 dollar range. If the show lasts for about 3 hours than you paid around $11.50 to $16.50 an hour just to be entertained. I don't know about where you live but up here in Maine it's very unlikely that you'll be earning that range of salary.
19)Boycott your Company Cafeteria : Here's another way that the CEO gets to make money off of you. If the cafeteria is a profit making machine you know that the bulk of it goes to The Big Cheese. It's bad enough that you're being paid wholesale for the rather shall we say the retail amount of work that you perform on a daily basis.
20)Only do 4 Legged Children : Pets never need orthodontic braces. You don't have to send them to college. If you and your former loved one split up fortunely their is no such thing as pet support.
