Saving Money For The Single Guy

We are in hard economic times, we all know that. Yet you’re the one who has to take a girl out on a date that consists of more than a burger and fries. So I’ve come up with 10 money saving strategies for you to save that green. Then when you do go out on that date you can spend it wisely on her…

1. Split your 2 ply into 1 ply - savings 50% per year – Your toilet paper purchases over the year will be cut in half. You can wipe just as well with that single ply as you can with that 2ply.

2. Wash your clothes once a week - save over $200 a year – Are you washing clothes after just one wear? Crazy... Think about it you don’t have a dirty job, do physical labor, and live in a clean house. No need to wash clothes every time you wear them.

3. Flush the toilet less - savings $100/yr - average family uses 75000 gallons of water per year just flushing!!! So cut back water usage and save money too, "if it’s yellow, let it mellow".

4. Don’t shower regularly - savings apx. $195/yr - You use an average of 2 gallons of water per minute that you shower. Shower every other day, or when you get complaints that you smell like a rotten butt.
Pro Tip: Go soap-less and shampoo-less for those extra bucks!

5. Look to the sky - savings in the hundreds - Use a rain barrel in your back yard and use the water it catches for everything. Shower with it, wash your clothes with it, this will save you a fortune on your water bills! (Should be used in conjunction with previous tips.)
Pro Tip: Rain barrels aren’t expensive but make your own; you ARE trying to save!

6. Go Commando! - savings $98/yr - Yea your mom told you to always wear clean underwear, but really.... who really sees it. Besides no one is smelling them and they sure as hell don’t know if you’re wearing any under your trousers! Besides it'll be easier access for the ladies...

7. Dumpster Dive - save thousands per year - Hobos swear by it! What you’re too good for it? You'd be surprised at what some restaurants will throw away. Restaurants separate their edible garbage from the un-edible trash. So you have to wait till closing time, but you might just come across some veal.

8. Steal Condiments - savings $52.68/yr - If you scrape up enough coin to order from your favorite dollar menu, steal condiments. Don’t just stop at the ketchup, but grab the mustard and relish too. Pinch anything that you can use later at home.
Pro Tip: Wear a jacket with multiple pockets, so you can grab yourself those plastic utensils too!

9. Buy Natty Ice! - savings 50% - Why waste money on the expensive shit when Natty Ice can get the job done just as well!

10. Become an Art Fan - savings hundreds/yr – A great places to get your drink on at no cost is at art gallery openings. The openings are usually free and they almost always have free wine! You might get lucky and find hors d'oeuvres there too! So what if the art sucks make your rounds and duck out.
