Is there anything you almost refuse to bother with in order to conserve money?

Sale items in a store I almost always pass them up because I usually don't see them!

Can't think of anything. I'm always in the market to save money.

I wont live without conveniences. I want C/A, a w/d, garbage disposal, dishwasher. i could save about $150 less a month on rent, but like shale said, by the time I cart the clothes up to the laundromat, waste my time there, and pay for the clothes, then I might as well have paid the extra money. Not to mention that now i can wash clothes at 3am when it is convenient for me. I dont think that there are 24 hour laundromats near me

I clip some coupons and usually forget to use them. Here in Canada we can't use couponing the way some Americans do, we don't have double or triple coupon days. I'm not sure I would have the patience to become an extreme couponer.

I won't travel long distance to save money that will be mostly consumed in transportation cost and wasted time. (Srsly some ppl do this)

I'll use gift cards but I almost never fuck with coupons.

I won't drive miles out of my way to find gas for a few cents less a gallon.

none of my local supermarkets double coupons anymore.... and i have never ever seen a triple coupon day in my life. Those extreme couponing shows are a lie. My cousin was on it last month, and the coupons she used were fraudulent, and the store she shopped at does not double coupons. The show even called on of the cashiers at school to come and ring her up because the older cashiers would only ring up the coupons the legal way. it is all lies

I won't undertip just to save $2.

You're damn right I'll clip a coupon. especially when we make our BJ's run. We get a coupon book every month and if there's something in there we need to get, hell yeah we're using it.

I never use coupons it just seems like a pin to keep track of them.

I won't use towels twice, but make my son do that! I feel like I shouldn't have to at this point in my life. I also won't empty vacuum cleaner bags to reuse them like I did when I was crazy poor. I probably should, but it just reminds me too much of when I HAD to.
