1. Invite all of your friends over to your place for a pot luck where everyone brings a dish to save money. No tips or gratuity payments, and I'm guessing it's cheaper than whatever you get at a restaurant.
2. Try limiting your movie nights to twice a month and go during the matinee hours or wait until it ends up in the cheap theater. Don't buy anything at the concession stand and stop by the Dollar Tree store and stack up on candy there. Sneak it in with a backpack.
3. When you go out to eat, split a meal with a friend and try going during lunch hour when it's cheaper, rather than dinner.
4. Before you go out to eat, have a snack to fill you up, so you don't eat as much. A small salad or some trail mix can do the trick.
5. Don't order beverages at restaurants to save money. Order a free glass of water. If you live in an area with really bad water quality like I do, just bring your own water bottle.
6. Rather than going to a bar for drinks, create your own bar at home. Drinks are outrageously overpriced, not even including tips, for drinks that can easily be made at home. What drinks to stock will discussed in another entry.
7. Come up with cheaper or free entertaining ideas. Go online, and ask all of your friends for suggestion. If you go out every weekend, substitute one weekend out of the month to do this cheaper activity. IDEAS: Hiking, bookstore, coffee house with close friends, movie night at home, festivals, parades, botanical gardens during free admission, attend a lecture,
