I do several things that save me money. One thing that I do is buy generic brands. Often they taste just as good or work just as well as their name brand brothers. Another thing that I do is reuse things around the house. For example I reuse plastic bags as trashcan liners. Another thing that I do is I buy things when they are on sale. The last thing I do is try to get free entertainment. There are many different things around my city that are free to do. I can go on hikes through the woods, go to the local nature center, and free art events around town.
