4. Coupons: on any given Sunday, matching the Wednesday ads with the sales in the stores, you can easily find at least 10 free items or items up to 90% off. There are plenty of web sites that assist in this. Go with a local site that focuses on your stores.
5. Meal sharing: if your lucky enough to have a great set of neighbors or relatives, it’s easy to make an extra large portion of dinner and deliver it to a neighbor and then they share a night a week as well. If a home cooked dinner costs $20 a night and you can offset 4 or more a month, that adds up really fast.
