If you are well beyond being a cheapskate, you might think you know all the tricks in the book to save money. Well, I bet you didn't think of these 5 strange ways to make/save money!
1. Go on dates often
Not to find love or to meet up with friends, but to order large meals. Too large to eat at once. Ask for a doggy bag and use the remainder of the meal to feast on for the rest of the week. Unfortunately, this one probably only works for women.
2. Load up on condiments
If you're at McD's or another fast food place (planned, of course) load up on condiments. There's free salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard and sometimes also other things.
3. Recycle stuff
If you're a penny pincher, you probably do a lot of recycling. But did you think of recycling someone else's stuff? In stores or at the library, you can often find umbrella stands at the entrance. More often than not, there are umbrellas in there, which people have left behind. Pick the best one and enjoy it.
4. Stop buying drinks
Why spend euros or dollars on a single drink, if you can get it for free? Just order a glass of water and some lemons with your food (both are free) and make your own free lemonade. You might want to add a little sugar/sweetener to make it more enjoyable.
5. Skip holidays
Why spend thousands on gifts, just because you feel obliged to? Tell people you're out of town for the holidays and no one will expect gifts. Then, after Christmas for example, head to the shops and buy stuff on sale. That will save you up to 70%!
