Ning, you know what? When I go to the cinema, I never buy any popcorn or drink, as my main objective is watching the movie, not to stuff myself with the junk foods! In this case, I can save up much money than anyone else…

You right. You just buy something that you really need it.

I agree. If you try to save little by little, the savings eventually accumulate. And this will probably add to your savings, just don’t buy the things you won’t need.

I agree completely that you are giving away the secrets of the retailers! That’s also why there are so many free offers and discounts because they know you will end up buying stuff once they get you into their stores.

You point out the fact that most businesses actually don’t make on what we consider the “extras” like MacDonald’s making little money on their burgers but lots on their drinks or many retailers making little money on their inventory but lots on their credit cards.

You make excellent points. Most of our expenses come in the form of “little things” that we think we must have to enjoy ourselves. Of course, when I travel I do budget to spend a great deal. I can’t go to a Yankees game when we visit my husband’s family in New York without buying a couple of hot dogs and nachos. Even if it does cost a lot. I just save up and budget for it…
