How to Save Money In This Struggling Economy

Many people are left to fend for themselves in America. A change has swept the land and jobs are scarce. Before this recession, I would go out and spend money, but now I'm very frugal. The thought of dining out at a restaurant is just out of my budget. I've found other ways to keep myself afloat.

For example, instead of using multiple sheets of toilet paper, I wipe my arse one square at a time. It saves me so much money in the long run. If I'm all out of toilet paper, then I'll use some old socks. The feeling is comparable to wiping your bum with a bunny rabbit. It's so soft, and when you're done with the socks, just donate them to Goodwill. They'll be happy that you thought of them, trust me.

Another way I like to save a little bit of money is by going commando. Wearing underwear is overrated, and frankly you can cut down your expenses by letting it all hang out. You'd be surprised at how much money I've spent in underwear last year. 

If I had to give it an estimate, then it would have to be a whole $10.  Do you realize what I can do with $10? I can buy some bubble gum, a Chihuahua, one sock, a shoe lace, and I'll have exactly 17 cents left to put in my savings account.

My final piece of advice deals with grocery shopping. Most people buy the whole item in a grocery store. For example, buying a 6-pack of soda. I've found that buying only what you need works best. If you only need one roll of tissue, open the package and buy one roll. It's that simple, if you need one hot dog, open the package and purchase what you need. 

Obviously the store owners are going to be resistant to this idea, but hey you have to live, right? After a couple of hours of negotiation, they'll be sure to give in to your request. Either that or you'll be escorted out of the store by security.

This concludes my methods to saving money in a struggling economy. I hope you've learned something from this article. Saving money can be difficult, but I hope these tips helped you out.
