Food (Grocery & Eating Out): If you discover a great deal on an item you frequently use, stock up on it. The key is to only do this for items that you will use. Don't buy multiple items just because you found a bargain. It's not a good deal if you don't use it.
Recreation / Vacationing / Entertainment: If you don't read a magazine, cancel your subscriptions. Some libraries offer magazines, so consider this alternative as well.

Time Saving Tips
Priorities: Before beginning a task, identify your goals. You will not accomplish your goals if you don't know what they are. Be sure that the work you do moves you toward those goals.
Goals: Before doing something, consider the consequences. Are they positive or negative? Will this activity add value to your life? When possible, use your time only for things that benefit your life and move you toward your goals.
Consider This: Before leaving for an appointment, call for confirmation. A thirty second phone conversation could save you a thirty minute drive.
Priorities: Being busy is not synonymous with being effective. Be sure that you focus on tasks which move you toward your goals.
Cleaning: Clean from top to bottom to avoid dirtying things you have already cleaned. Dust off furniture before sweeping the carpet.
