Get More For Less $$$

We have practiced frugality for many years.  I have learned so many techniques to save money.  Here is MY list of how to live like a millionaire on a pauper's budget:
1.  Shop only for items that are on clearance or on sale.
2.  Never pay full price for ANYTHING!
3.  Make a grocery list and stick to it.
4.  Plan your meals for one week at a time.
5.  Eat at home as much as possible.  Eating out is high in calories and high priced!
6.  Vacation within your own state.  There are beautiful sites and hotels right in your own backyard.
7.  Don't go to high- end beauty salons to get your hair and nails done, rather go to a beauty school.
8.  Never  go to the expensive high end movie theaters.  Save big by going to the dollar movies.
9.  Find out which pizza or bowling allies or museums or recreational centers have "family nights" for greater discounts.
10.  Turn off all of your lights at night when you go to bed.
11.  If you find a great deal on an item, buy quite a few of them for gifts.
12.  Only run your dishwasher if it is full.
13.  Cold wash your dry clean items and hang to dry.
14.  Clean your own house.  Involve your husband and children.  A little work never killed anyone!!!
15.  Use water and vinegar to clean practically anything.
