Netflix has saved me God only knows how much money in late fees.
Speaking of steak. I'm so jewish that the only time I eat steak is when the butcher has them on clearance at half price. Rib eyes, NY, T-Bones, all around 5 bucks. I buy them and cook them that night.

I went to college and got a job as a software engineer. Here's some advice though, it's called birth control. Here's a formula to illustrate:

More kids == Higher expenses

I'll buy the cheaper cuts (sirloin, etc) and cut them in small cubes. Usually cook them in olive oil/scallions/peppers/garlic in a frying pan and then add them to rice/green beans/pasta/chili/etc. The small cubes suck up flavors and you can trim off the gristle and excess fat cheaper steaks tend to have...

I just learned this trick recently on how to stretch the bucks at the movie theater.

I pay for a movie at the movie theater and watch it full. Regardless of the outcome, I complain to the manager about how horrible the movie was and how it did not meet my qualifications as a good movie.

In return, I receive movie passes to watch another movie. Then I'd do the same, and I repeat in a cycle, having only paying for that first movie. The $12 I spent on the first movie can stretch out for years, saving me millions.

That sounds like good stuff dude. I'm gonna have to try that. I love using sirloin in chili. It's awesome.

My $$$ saving tip at the movies is grabbing the big $7 bucket of popcorn someone just tossed in the bucket and tear it. Bring it back to the counter saying you tripped and it ripped so you need a new one, then paying the 0.25 it costs for the refil instead of full price.

Same works for the soda but I wouldn't recomend trying both at the same time...:evil:

I steal a lot of crap off the internet. I haven't paid for a comic book in years. Not that I read all that many, anyway.

I haven't paid for a comic ever. Teh gayness if you ask me.

Oh, and steal your neighbors' unsecured internet access. Then you can use that free internet to look at free porn. That's cheaper than children.
