I mean, gum, HONESTLY, haha. Well no, some people love it, but I got rid of that and it's an easy $5/week.
I now only use coffee as a tool (thank you exams.. ggrr), so easily saving me $25/week there.
And I try to make my lunches at home and take them to school (or to my job). Instead of blowing $15 on a meal I make it at home and it costs me maybe $2-3?
Just little strategies to save the extra buck. AND I spoke to my provider (Rogers) and they upgraded me to 500mb data for the same cost of unlimited email - so I successfully keep my phone bill down (only $60 normally)
