I have received some positive feedback on my post about saving money, so I thought I would make another one. The earlier post you can see HERE. SO, you are saving money, but you don't want to disappear from every social event. Here are some more tips.
- Do you go out to restaurants a lot when meeting friends?
- Tell them about your situation
- Ask if it is okay to make a really nice dinner at home (where you split the cost?)
- If you really want to go out to eat
- Go to a nice place with nice prices
- Order a main dish at a reasonable price
- Try to resist ordering an entree, an expensive bottle of wine and dessert
- If you are not going out after, drink water (it's more healthy for you and cheaper)

- Do you go out to the movies with your friends?
- Watch your favourite movie again
- Borrow movies from your friends
- Borrow movies at the library
- Watch movies online
- Do you like to go shopping with your friends?
- Ask a friends that's about your size to swap clothes
- Clean up your closet, maybe you find some unused clothes
- Go through your mother, grandmothers old accessories
- Ask creative family/friends to help you alter some old clothes or create new ones
- If you HAVE to buy something
- Try to not buy 10 things, but one thing you REALLY want
- Go to eBay, on blogs where they sell their old clothes, go to sales
- Do you have other expensive hobbies that you share with your friends?
- Try to limit yourself with a certain budget for your hobby
- Do other fun things with your friends such as cardboard-games, poker night etc.
- e.g if you are a member of a gym, cut the membership and start jogging/skiing
