Cut the Household Budget
Cut the Household Budget
10> Fire up the chainsaw, open the birdcage, grab the little sucker and… Oh, *budgET*. Never mind.
9> Forgo the convenience of individually-wrapped singles, and go back to buying your Corn Flakes a box at a time.
8> Feed the cat to the dog. That eliminates having to buy food for either of them.
7> Being nude means you never have to do costly laundry.
6> Save at both ends: eat nothing but beans and run a line from your ass to the furnace.
5> Bulimia means everyone gets seconds!
4> Hire the neighbor’s pet dingo to help out with the babysitting.
3> A two-fer: 1. Forestall that brake repair job; 2. Carry a cooler in the trunk for collecting the resultant roadkill.
2> Grow your own vegetables on your cheaper and eco-friendly sod replacement roof. Get them harvested for free by the undocumented aliens you’ve rented your garage to.
and the Number 1 Bad Way to Cut the Household Budget …
1> A Bic lighter and a hallway sprinkler at the office is the only shower you’ll ever need!
