Avoid the frozen and prepared foods sections–these are not the bargains they appear to be. Buy Used Textbooks. Cut your textbook expenses to a fraction by renting or buying used books in older editions for a fraction of the price. Be smart at the grocery store and you’ll save more than you expect. Commute By Bike.
