"101 ways to save money" booklet ENCLOSED !

I'm waiting for David Letterman to come out with a "top 10" list about this...

Then again, some of NWA's ideas already sound like they were written by joke-writers :lol:
 
1. Set your thermostat to 64 and turn it down to 60 at night.

Good for winter, bad for summer.

4. Carpool.

Good if you have a freaking job!

6. Do your own nails.

Rampers have a manicurist? NOT!!!

10. Throw pocket change in a jar and take it to the bank when it’s full.

When would that be without a freaking job?

12. Buy spare parts for your car at the junkyard.

My car ‘came’ from the junkyard and it was the last one!

18. Take a shorter shower.

Yea, there is the big money………
Better to shower with your neighbors, good community time and you use their water (then there are other perks)

37. Take a date for a walk along the beach or in the woods.

Bring a blanket in case you get lucky with sharing your half eaten whopper

43. Trade down your car for a less expensive, lower maintenance one.

See #12

44. Convert your cash value life insurance to term.

Not sure if this is a smart idea, better check into it with ‘SOMEONE ELSE’

46. Don’t be shy about pulling something you like out of the trash.

That’s how I found this job!!!

53. Bicycle to work.

See #4

56. Borrow a dress for a big night out, or go to a consignment shop.

Ok, but it will make me look flat chested and fat. Last time I did that I fell down the lane at the bowling alley.

57. When you buy a home, negotiate the sales price and closing costs.

If I do not have a job, how can I buy a home?




Well, you have the point........... :p

53. Bicycle to work.

Let me add something to that.

"Since you are now unemployed this really is'nt much of an issue."
 
96. Compost to make your own fertilizer.

I am trying to compost this book but it is more damaging to the environment than a normal paperback.

I've shredded it and crapped on it but it will still not decompose.

:p UT
 

Especially enjoyed : Buy spare parts for your car at the junkyard (Hmm, climb around in the mud, scratch yourself on a rusted vehicle and get tetanus. Smart. And, what if that used part breaks also....)

Make your own baby food (babies always love botulism puree)

Shop at discount or thrift stores (and play your role as part of the lower class like everyone else)

Use old newspapers for cat litter (then send them to Northwest corporate for shredding) B) B)
