For example, when I want to make a long distance phone call from home I log on and use Yahoo messenger's net-to-phone feature.
I save money on MRPs by using soy isolates more often. Hell, I tried using unflavored Purina Supro from the big bag. Tell you what, add some baking cocoa and some sweetener and it isn't that bad (although soy never tastes good). To add carbs to my homemade MRPs I'll make lots of homemade mashed potatoes without salt, and add those. If I want some fat, I'll drink some oil on the side.

I'll buy whole fryer chickens for no more than $0.50/lb, cook em, eat what I want, boil the carcass and make gumbo using the leftover meat, the stock, and lots of rice and potato. That makes for tasty cheap eating. Same with making a huge pot of chili; it's cheap and there is always food in the fridge ready to eat (best not stand downwind though).

I was planning on saving money with powders, but with the recent rash of siezures I'm holding off. It's only saving money if they arrive, and if I don't have to pay any legal fees.

With gas being so f*<king expensive, on those rare occasions I'm not in a rush to get somewhere on a freeway, I'll just pull my guzzler SUV behind a fast moving semi and catch some draft from it. It raises the MPG by about 10, partly from driving slower.

When the girl wants to go out for dinner and a movie, I volunteer to cook and just do rentals. The food is better (if I do say so myself) and while we never end up watching the whole movie, things are much more convenient.

Making ends meet isn't easy right now bros. I'd appreciate any tips you have on how to save money. Saving money will have a significant effect on how many supplements I'll be getting. Peace!

Usually insist that the lucky girl I am dating pays for most of my excursions(whatever they may be). Honestly, when it comes to supplements the price doesnt matter, I do get my gas free and my car washed and waxed for free.

well, the only one I can think of off hand right now is one for saving a little bit of gas. Anytime im on the highway (and I use them quite a bit) I always have my windows up so the wind doesnt slow you down. I guess when ur windows are down its like a parachute and it slows the car down so you have to use more gas to maintain a speed. well i dunno how many know that or not but and I dunno how much gas is saved but just thought id share that with u all.

peace
