1) Buy tires online
The best price at a local tire shop was $448 for a particular set of tires, installed. The same tires were $300 at tirebuyer.com, with free delivery to a participating shop. Add $80 for installation. Savings: $68.
2) Make your own salad dressing
Store bought salad dressing can cost $2.99 or more; why not make your own? A vinaigrette is 2 tablespoons wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup olive oil, and pepper to taste. Save $1.50 a week (the cost of roughly a hlaf bottle of dressing) or up to $75 a year.
3) Go meatless once a week
One study concluded that vegetarians save approximately $750 on their food bill each year. So by ditching meat one day a week, you should be able to save $100 a year.
4) Obsessed witha particular pricey clothing brand?
Go to Poshmark.com or similar sites for top-grade secondhand clothes. For example, a summer dress from Soma (retails for $59) was recently available for $18 plus shipping. Two or three purchases could save you $100.
