Answer 1

using skype for most all of my outgoing phone calls. 3 dollars a month for unlimited minutes.

At the mall, don't let yourself window shop because you WILL see something that you "cannot live without." Just buy what you came to buy.

take your lunch to work every day.  believe me, you can spend a LOT of money just buying McDonalds every day.
