1. Cut The Coffee
We're not saying to get rid of your daily dosage of caffeine (We would never do such a thing!),but  we do suggest using an at-home coffee maker rather than spending $4 every day on a "cup of Joe" from the drive-thru. You'd be amazed at the amount of money you could save!

2. Review Your Cell Phone Plan
When is the last time you evaluated your cellphone plan? Take a few minutes and explore other plan options from your provider to cutback on overspending You may even find it to be more cost-efficient to switch providers.

The   sky is the limit when it comes to free, online workout tutorials that can be completed in the comfort of your own living room or basement. Sure you may have to do some rearranging, but your pocketbook will definitely reap the benefits.

4. Shop Off-Brand Items
Shopping for generic prescriptions, food sand toiletries can significantly cut costs from your bill. Remember to compare ingredients; if you don't see a difference, why not save some money and opt for the less expensive option?
