You can even rent a carpet cleaner for less than it would cost to have your house professionally cleaned, in many cases. Food and Drink. You don’t even have to make the party an official potluck, and you can enlist family members to help you prepare all the food. Be Casual – Don’t focus on expensive food and drinks.

Here in Nashville, many places even allow you to bring your own bottle of wine. For one-time projects, consider renting. It’s that simple! Cut your cable.

Many friends may be willing to split the cost of a bottle of wine, or make homemade margaritas instead of going out. Rent books, books on tape, movies, and read magazines at the library. Examples of this are finding an outfit for a wedding, lawn equipment, or a food processor for preparing meals for a large family gathering.
Saving Cents With Sense

Save on Food & Drink. You can buy a bottle to share later, too, which will cost less than having wine out at a restaurant. Don’t forget to check Groupon for daily deals on food, movies, concert tickets, spa days or more. Rent a movie or borrow one for FREE at the library. Save on Entertainment.
