My saving tip...

McDonalds dollar menu

Their value menu would be better if they added snack wraps to it.

Their honey mustard chicken snack wrap is killer.

here we have both...you can put it out with the trash and let the -city- make money off you....

or you can load it up yourself into your car, and take it and get the money back. At least in california we -pay- a redemption value when buying beverages in recyclable containers. I take mine to a center where I get that money back. 5 cents for a small can or bottle, and 10 cents for the 2 liter bottles.

I make about 10 dollars every two weeks this way, because co-workers now also bring me -their- bottles of soda from work drinking.

Ahh, thanks for explaining! Here I don't believe you can do that, although the beer store will accept beer and wine empties for a return. We live in a downtown neighborhood though and know that some of the old homeless/poor people raid the recycling bins on garbage night and pick them out to sell, so we usually just leave them to them. Without a car I couldn't be bothered to walk empties back to the store, which is about 3k from my house.

my other tip: get a clothes horse and a washing line...instead of a dryer...
clothes horse for winter, washing line for summer...dry clothes all year
