One: Eating only ramen.

Two: Working a lot.

Three: Selling things like blankets and extra plates.

Four: Sending old underwear to creeps on the Internet.

Five: Collecting and returning cans like Dave used to do.

Six: Bringing coins from around the house to the grocery store coin sorting machine.

Seven: Cutting back on deodorant for Dave because he doesn’t leave the house unless I take him out anyway and I’ve gotten used to the smell.

Eight: Cancel Netflix even though it’s the only thing I have to keep me company or make life fun.

Nine: Sell hair to wig shops.

Ten: If you’d like to suggest another money-saving idea or want to send Dave some money because you used to enjoy his blog and he did it for free then every little bit helps.
