    Tips to Survive these Hard Times:

    1. Buy your basic commodities in bulk like babies milk, etc. We always buy 4 cans of Nido 3+ for my boy that lasted for the whole month.

    2. Use your CC for paying your bills like Meralco, Globe, etc. REBATES! REBATES!

    3. Go Diesel for your everyday ride! Diesel Fuel STILL cost P17.70 at SeaOil compare at Gasoline at P24+

    More!

    4. Buy your beers in bottles! It is more cheaper than in cans.

    5. use Energy Conserving Engine Oils if its viscosity is within the range specified in your car manual

    6. use gasoline with lower octane rating for everyday driving...avoid unnecessary load in your ride

    7. bring packed lunch to work

    8. replace very old airconditioners and refrigators with new ones...it will save you more money in the long run...or mag-electirc fan at mag yelo ka na lang!!!

    9. Always pull out the plug of any electric devices from the socket when not in/after use. Believe it will lower your Meralco bill.

    from the economic point of view, pangit din daw to, kc malaki ang cash out and money has time value

    this will be effective if u have money that is more than enough than what you need

    gretzy: imo, it saves me some fuel and time from going back and forth from the grocery. Tsaka mura lang po ang Nido 3+, P120+ lang po per can so almost P500 lang po ang 4 compare sa, nung infant pa si FDjr, P400+ per can yung NAN HA na infant formula.

    Dont do your groceries when you are hungry...coz you tend to buy more :D

    peeps with subscribed cellphone lines:
    monitor the total cost of your calls & text..this is to prevent going over your call & text limit..the charge for excess minutes & text is often higher than normal.

    Don't live beyond your means

    Reduce what you want, produce what you need <--- I'm not sure if this is Confucius or Gandhi.

    prioritize the basic needs first, then buy the luxuries thereafter.

    pareho kami ng technique ni FrankDrebin, I always do groceries in bulk, mas cheaper.

    isa lang tip ko... be prudent.. before buying anything, make sure you really need it....

    buy what you need not what you want.

    simple wants simple needs.

    have a "rainy day" money aka for emergency.

    conserve water, shower together.

    2 - ilabas ang tsikot sa parking pag lunch time tapos ipasok ulit (:D ) para ma maximize yung minimum charge! ... yun ay kung di mahirap maghanap nag pa-parkingan pag pumasok ka ulit or ka kuchabahin ang guard ( ) - jk jk jk
