Sa restaurant, request mo sa waiter ipabalot yung toyo, suka, tubig, yung di naubos na softdrinks at kanin. Kung nasa cafe ka ipabalot yung asukal at gatas. Kung nasa Tokyo Tokyo ka order ka ng order ng kanin, tapos ipabalot mo afterwards.

if i have time, i just buy the ingredients and cook my meals. it's a whole lot cheaper.

sa mga fastfood chains, i ask for extra condiments in sachets. these i use at home, or mga pambaon.

hmm.. dom?? bwahaha! pag-isipan daw oh!

pag sa bahay, sa internet, save ko na muna yung mga messages. i read these offline and draft my replies, then saka lang ulit ako nago-online. sa internet shops, i try to minimax. minimize my time online while maximizing my use (eg sabay sabay open ng windows, speed reading...)

tulog na lang para makatipid sa pagkain,,,,,thats my roomate's habit para maka tipid ng pagkain,,,,,,gigising ng 3:00 ng hapon para hindi na kakain ng tanghali,,,,dinner na lang ang kainin...

the best way to save is to save money...mag ipon ng pera para mayroong pera para sa emergency stuffs o may gustong bibilhin,,,but this style never works for me,,, dudukot din ako sa akng savings eh.....

This is a heartbreaking tipid style.  Sleep to save money on food?  I don't think that's healthy. 

I save money by buying things in bulk (toilet paper, shampoo, milk, etc.).  I compare the smaller-sized item to the bigger-sized item and calculate how much it is per 250 ml (or whatever) and if I can save money by buying the bigger item, then I'll buy it.

I shop around and research before I go out.  I rarely buy things that are regularly priced.  I buy things when they are on sale.  Why would I pay more for something that I can buy for less money at a different store or at a different time?

I rarely buy imported/branded clothing (mucha mula, ca-ching!), specially when it has its name in big, bold letters where anyone can see it.  I'll wear it if they pay me.  They're ripping us off.  That's free advertising eh?  I don't wanna make some foreign designer richer 'no?  I buy Philippine-made items if I can.  I still have my Pidro shirt and it's so many years old na! 

I also sometimes buy generic items when it applies, like water.  Water is water, right?

I practice a lot of patience when I really, really WANT something and it's beyond my budget for the meantime.  I wait until it goes on sale, and voila!  I save 50%!

When I really NEED (not want) something, and I don't have enough money, I ask for my advanced birthday/christmas presents from my siblings.  It has two functions, first, you get the item that you REALLY NEED, and you prevent people from buying you things that you will never or can't use.

YESSSS!!!!! marunong na 'kong pumunta ng greenhills. hehe!

naku, kung di ako na-forewarned about the dibidibisidi guys, baka inatake na ko sa puso! pano ba naman, mapa-paranoid ka talaga pag may kadudadudang lumapit sayo, then sasabayan ka sa paglakad. hay naku!

pero di ako namili ha. may pinuntahan ako dun sa malapit sa area, then naglibot na lang ako since andun na rin.

Dito sa Baguio maraming dibidis, kaya lang magbaon ka rin ng surgical mask mo para uso

I make/create gifts for a group of people. That way, it's personalized and cheap than buying everyone individual gifts. This applies especially on Christmas.

 

 

plan your itinerary for the day. whether nagko-commute or may wheels kayo, this will help save time, fare/ fuel expenses. also, kung may last minute aberya, eh medyo di na kayo mara-rattle ng husto. madali na lang mag-adjust.

para mas makatipid, maki-sakay ka na lang sa barkada mong may sasakyan. This will help save fare.

yep.. tama ka jan.. kaia lang there are those friends na naniningil nang pang gasolina..

pag sobrang tipid kami ng mga friends namin, ang kinakain namin for lunch ay yung siomai na malapit sa arko ng intramuros...

sa halagang 15 pesos, may isang maliit na plato ka ng kanin tapos may apat na piraso ng siomai

pwede ka pang bumili ng pop o cheers sa halagang 8 pesos...

kaya sa 23 pesos,solb ka!

kung gusto mo pa ng siomai,just add 2.50 extra rice 5.00

 

Dyos ko, sa may PUP, may carinderia na nagtitinda ng Bottomless Lugaw, 5 pesos only! Tapos may Go Large sila, meaning lalagyan ng sahog for 10 pesos! I think this is brilliant. Talagang tubong - lugaw!
