Now that I'm not working, I'm trying to really stretch my cheapness to the limit. This week was a bit of a bust with Brian home sick, but we're still going to save money before the wedding.
- I'm riding my bike or walking to class and back each day. Yesterday that was 5 miles on my bike, all pretty breezy and delightful - this is an easy way to save bus fare.
- I'm bringing my own snacks to class and my own coffee/Diet Coke too. There is a Blue Bunny Vending Machine at Truman, but I'll resist!
- I'm hitting the gym as often as I can (this isn't saving anything, but it's using our money wisely - so there.).
- I'm planning our dinners, shopping sales and using my Big Head Farm Produce to my advantage.
- Instead of shopping I'm shopping at home by cleaning up our stuff (closets, heaps, shelves, boxes) and finding hidden treasures. And throwing away junk.
- I'm hoarding giftcards for fun stuff - watch out AMC Theaters, Target, and everyone who accepts Visa.
- I'm just enjoying life with a little less busy!
Tomorrow I spend the day with my niece then meet some friends from my old job for dinner. My new biology book ($50 from a student/neighbor) and I will enjoy some quality time together too.

How about getting married so you get lots of gifts and money from people? That might be a good way to stretch pennies too.
