Biggest category I need to work on is food and booze. I've been buying the tv dinners for like $3 which is cheap as fuck so I'm working on it. I might get a crock pot and try to cook cheap healthy shit too. Booze category is fucked. I drink every day and I don't like drinking the cheap shit. Any one have tips?

brew your own alcohol

>I drink every day and I don't like drinking the cheap shit
What alcohol do you consume in a normal week?

I just spent $100 on dress shirts yestewrday, is that a waste of money?

Any site to find good and cheap clothes?

Forgot to add that was 5 shirts

Just eat ramen every other meal. It's not amazing or anything but think of how much money you save everytime eating 15c ramen

I can't distill booze and I read that brewing beer doesn't save any money

One six pack - $10
One bomber -$3 (drink on Sunday as a treat)
One fifth of gin or whiskey -$30

So I'm just under $50 per week. How to cut back? I feel like this isn't even that much

This will save you big time bucks. It requires a small investment for equipment but after that you save tons. The easiest thing to make is wine/beer since you don;t have to buy a distiller, but distilling is also fairly simple just slightly more of an initial investment. You can flavor the beer to your personal preference depending on what hops and spices you use which will make it a lot more satisfying than most beers you can buy.

Drinking any amount of anything other than maybe a handle of liquor every few months is a poorcuck - tier use of money.

$100 for a dress shirt is worth it if it's tailored brooks bros or something like that, but I would never buy more than five at that price... five can cover all of your needs for years and years.

Drop all social contact. Get rid of friends, lovers, family and anyone who wants you to buy stuff for/from them. You'd be surprised how much you can save by being a hermit.

If you shop at Costco for cheaper beer, it's about fifty cents a can
