You can visit garage sales, local flea markets and scratch and dent stores to locate used furniture that needs to be refurbished. You may also consider using a framed mirror as a centerpiece on a coffee table. Repurpose drinking glasses, miniature hat boxes or coffee tins covered in fabric as desk organizers.

High calorie sodas, coffee, alcohol and juices tend to cost a lot, and the cost adds up over time. Magazines and newspapers are all available online now. And if you rent, save money and then invest the difference.
