This is a great list. I would add brew your own morning coffee to skip that $4 starbucks trip daily, and wash/detail your own car

Great list — simple ideas that may get overlooked in the process of trying to cut costs. Always good to have reminders and the inspiration to take more charge in the do-it-yourself realm.

My wife has cut my hair for years and I would imagine the savings to be in the thousands. I like that I never need an appointment and we get caught up on family business.

Okay, well cutting your own hair could turn out to be bad for many, but for somebody like me who shaves their head, I have a $40clipper that I have been using for the last two years. That has saved me from paying $20 every 10 days at the barber.

I’d argue that cutting your own hair is a terrible idea. A $15 Supercuts job would still far exceed anything I could do for myself. I know I’d just keep trying to even it out until I looked like GI Jane (and I’m no Demi Moore)!

that is a creative list! even if a reader would only do one of two of those things, the savings would add up over the year into a substantial amount. Doing it yourself does not cost anymore time and perhaps in some instances can save you time also (which is worth more).
