[QUOTE="Wish, post: 737319, member: 23140"] I have weird ways on trying to save money, none that really work that well that's for sure. Being as though I am a single person and it is very hard to shop just for yourself. It's impossible for me to make meals just for one (myself) and having left overs is not good for me because I will eat it all, I have no will power when it comes to food. I have to be careful of what is in the house at all times. But one of the things I do try to save money is shop at Bi-lo (supermarket on the east coast). Individual items there are expensive so I don't shop there for individual items, but when they have the 10's for 10, [B][I][U]it's an ah-maz-ing deal! [/U][/I][/B]I stock up for the year on those.
