Default Re: 10 little expenses that add up fast

Timbit: Anyway, there's no reason to be cheap about things.
You have to get a coffee/snack/lunch/bottled water/carwash sometime


I guess what they are trying to say is-- with the snack, let's say you buy $1 Famous Amos cookies each day at work. Instead of doing that, you can purchase a box of cookies for $3 and bring a few wrapped cookies with you a day. The box would last a week+.

With the bottled water- bring the bottle home and reuse it or you can bring an insulated water bottle with you to work. So instead of paying $1 a day for water- purchase an insulated water bottle for about $9 and then spend pennies a day refilling it prior to going to work.

90% of the time I drink water and I drink water all day, so I personally love this sucker for work.

Lunch- pack lunch the majority of days.

Car wash- kids are always doing the $5-$10 car washes at schools and gas stations. So instead of paying $58 each time, get a few kiddie car washes then every three or four months go get detailed. Or you can just wash your car yourself and get it detailed every four months.

With coffee, if a person is a coffee drinker, there's really nothing that can be done unless they make it at home and we all know there are huge differences with the taste of that.

Sincerely,
Queen of Cheap
