Small Budget Items that Can Break your Budget

[Rockia]

This is an old post but I was just going through it, and thinking I sure have saved a lot of money on lunches since I started working at home. Which brings me to something I never buy any more which is pens, you can find those for free all over, and in my case work sends me ones all the time.

So true on the free pens.

I threw a small fit when the boyfriend told me he joined a very expensive gym. He needed one that was 24-hr, and the only cheaper option had some bad reviews.
Two months later and he's still going 5-6 times per week. Along with a major change in his eating habits, he's lost over 60lbs.
I even told him to add on the towel service to his membership for an extra $10/month, I was so tired of washing his stinky towels each day.
I guess for us this expense is well worth the price.

Putting money into vending machines, especially pop machines.

I 've been following this thread and I have never heard of renting your hot water tank and heater, didn't even know it was an option.Maybe it just isn't done in Alberta?

I've never heard of it either....grew up in sask...live in the nwt now.

But calgas, superior propane and Lloyd Co op in lloydminster rented propane tanks to people on propane.

Popular in Ontario to rent hot water tank. ( I looked at a house not long ago and they rented the furnace! No thanks!!!) Renting a hotwater tank makes sense where there is hard water. It kills the tank so unless you have a water softener (more $) then it makes sense to rent it and have free service and replacement.
