I look for the best price and always do price comparisons at different stores for everything I buy and also try to find coupons. I also love to watch movies and go to Costco or use the Entertainment book which has coupons for movies. As my job is basically finding bargains all day, it makes it a little easier for me to find the cheapest deals for all kinds of stuff also =)
By the way, I saw this phone at the Microsoft Store at the mall the other. It is very nice, hope I can get one.
The local paper did a piece on an onslaught of food poisoning cases being reported to the health department last year. Ends up it was truck cheese. Not a good idea.
You're basically talking about taking all of the pleasure out of life. What good is money saved if we can't spend it on things that make our lives pleasant? Personally I do NOT want to go back to the days of spending hours scrubbing and drying laundry. And the great thing about TVs is that they're cheap enough that many people can afford to have them in each room. What's not to love about that? And I can't even count the number of ways a cell phone has saved me. I've used it to call into work and my insurance company after getting into a car accident, I've looked up maps when I'm lost on the road with my 3G data plan and I've been able to write friends emails when I'm waiting for a doctor's appointment, saving me time later from doing it at home. Everyone's different, but I bet most of us benefit by far from data plans more than we don't.
We have a single car, and instead of driving everywhere we walk or bike. This has the added benefit of slowing life down a little and allowing us to appreciate nature, our neighbors, and each other.
I've started doing more with less by using my nook. After having 6 bookshelves, we've decided to start donating them and moving to all ebooks when possible. Plus with baby 2 on the way, I need the space.
doing more with less is the trend now days, the one thing that i think that allows people to do more with less is a computer. it allows people to learn about something in an instant where as before people have to go to the library, it allows people to write without a pen or pencil, it allows people to watch tv, movies and just videos in general at a touch of a button, allows people to store memories of a lifetime in one simple device. but with technology advancing as it is a brand new phone that does exactly that would be handy :]
I'm trying to do more work with less hours actually spent at work, by increasing productivity and working at home more. I find that I'm much more productive in my own home without the distractions of the office!
we belong to a produce co-op. we end up getting things we've never tried before or would not buy (because of the expense), for less than half of what we would pay if we bought the produce at the store. it's fantastic!
I forgot to fill in the form below on my comment, let me try that again!
I do more with less by focusing on spending time with the people I love during the holidays instead of on buying so much stuff. The people are what it's all about anyway.
USE CRAIGSLIST FREE. I've moved a lot recently and have managed to furnish 2.5 apartments for free. A little craigslist diligence and patience pays off!
Agreed, but the majority of people with smart phone data plans don't need them for work. A data plan at $30 bucks a month sets you back a pretty penny.
Saving money and handmade gifts this Christmas equals holiday vacations. it's gonna be a fun holiday season with the family this year. Will be even better with the windows phone. ;)
I read multiple blogs everyday and when they have cool promotions like this I enter at every site. I also am finding cool new blogs in the process. How's that for doing more with less? Since the rules state that I can enter once a day, as long as my responses are not similar every day, I'll be back tomorrow with a new answer!
no more room filling toys for the boys for Christmas anymore! My sons are at the age now where they like technology better than big bulky toys,..so why do I keep buying them? I have also basically stopped going to garage sales,...why keep bring things home just because its a good deal? We need less stuff not more!

I'm not sure, to be honest. Japan is a beautiful and complicated country. I feel it's best summed up in this documentary.

doing more with less...winning this phone instead of buying it.

coupons, coupons, coupons = save $!!!
I would love to win this phone.
I do more with less by buying things when they are sale and using coupons.

It's time to pass along the family "heirlooms" and let someone else care take them

I do more with less by reusing and recycling.
Great list, well done I have one more online Coupon to add to the list i.e.www.comcoupons.com

I can do more functions with less gadgets as companies combine gizmos into one. I would like to see Microsoft's answer to the iPhone.
After 2 surgeries,chemo & radiation for colon cancer,I have learned what was important, needs verses wants, frinds &family.
