After reading whimsy's frugal plan, I'm inspired to think of my new frugal plan as well...
1-Have breakfast at home/bring breakfast from home (amount saved RM2-RM3 daily)
2-Make own coffee at the office
3-Go home at 5 SHARP or after 6 PM to avoid crazy traffic (amount saved, I'm guessing RM3-RM5?)
4-Avoid eating(driving) out on lunch break (despite the lousy food they have in the office cafe)
5-Less gayut/sms on the phone (amount saved RM10-RM30)
6-Switch off lappie(thinkpad) before going to sleep (except when I'm downloading my tv shows). Herda, how about we trade shows?
7-Learn to sleep with the lights OFF (yes, I've been sleeping with the lights ON all these while)
8-Only switch on AC right before going to sleep and/or if it's really hot
9-Only use hot shower for super-early morning shower or super-late shower
10-Plan/have groceries list to avoid going groceries shopping so often
11-Limit (fancy) dining out
12-Limit books purchase, except for super-good books which are worth to add in my books collection. Be best friend with library. I mean how many of us bought RM35 book, read it once, and toss in the bookshelf just to show off our book collections?
13-Find a multipurpose shoes/bag that can be used for everything. No more that formal bag/casual bag/i'm hip bag/big camera bag/escape bag/and the gazillion other handbags we need for many different reasons
14-Avoid unnecessary shopping
