One of my money traps is going to the drugstore and waiting for a prescription to be filled. I just fell into the trap again this morning!
I don’t like coming back to get my meds, so I will hang around and wait. I get a shopping cart and walk around. I always see something that I need (or think I need): cat food tins, single wrapped tissues, make-up, nail polish, the latest People magazine, even vitamins (when I know I can buy them cheaper elsewhere). I often end up spending 60 bucks in addition to the medication! UGH.

Ditto Matt. Open source and piracy are entirely different altogether. I highly recommend reading up on what open source is and taking full (legal, of course) advantage of it.

Nice post and several interesting bits of advice that look good. You *do* need to understand something, though. “Open Source” (and it doesn’t need quotes–it’s a real phenomenon) is not a group of piracy advocates. Open Source is a movement to make source code for software openly available. Consequently, this code is free, but there’s nothing in the ideology or method of development that says that piracy is ok.

I find that it is those little $5 purchases that "I deserve" that get me in trouble. You know how it goes... I've worked so hard today, I deserve that latte or I have stayed on budget for a month, I deserve to make a little comfort purchase. They are never big things but if they happen frequently, they add up. CindySs last blog post..Paying for Long Term Care

Nice list. My addition is the ’single pack’ servings of crackers, pretzles, potato chips, etc. They’re about 4X the price per pound of the larger size, and you can send the kids to school with a little bag or re-usable container with a portion. Takes a few seconds to put them in the lunch bag.

My town is part of a library network that lets you reserve books or videos on line. A bit of patience, and the DVDs are free for a week.
