I have read: Written on a piece of paper, rolled, and dropped into seat tube.

I created a sheet that allows me to track cash flow based on bills coming out of my account, etc., and for that VLOOKUP is awesome. I use it for pretty much everything that needs to be compiled or summarized. A combination of INDEX and MATCH will do it as well.

So many people use the Shuffle b/c it's prefect for running. Unlike the gym, where you have downtime b/w sets to monkey with playlists, the shuffle doesn't interfere with running. Load it and go. I load it with a big list of songs I use for running and just tap skip anytime I'm not feeling a song.

Drywall saw. Perfect tool for the job.

Exactly. My garden doesn't exactly save me money on food (I could get it cheaper than Aldi or whatever.) But it's my hobby - and my hobby yields great-tasting food, which makes it a net gain.

I'm passionate about my coffee. But the coffee I make at home is better than the stuff from Starbucks (hurray, French press). That's the frugal hack that works best for me - I've gotten to the point where I can make something better at home than I could get going out. So it doesn't matter so much if I shell out once…

Everyone should do a bit of trail running if youre within 50 miles of one. I like the trails more than the road

I would like to be able to use coupons, but literally every coupon that comes out with the paper seems to be for something I wouldn't buy in a million years. When we shop, we try to avoid processed foods to some extent, mostly buying things like meats, vegetables (mostly frozen nowadays since fresh never get used up…

Unplugging wall warts when they're not in use. They probably cost a few cents a year to leave plugged in.

Buying Used

If you purchased your bike from a bike shop they typically keep records of the serial number.

I have to agree with this. I keep a duplicate of everything in my car tech wise (cable, chargers, etc), a change of clothes, pair of shoes, and an Altoids tin first aid kit (thank you boyfriend) in the car. Just in case. Also, as a woman, I hate purses and the concepts of carrying bags. I have a bookbook for my…

Windows 7 user here. Win7 had the Previous Version, looks identical to the one in 10.

My dog loves car rides. If for some reason he bolts out the front door and starts to head down the street, I just yell at him car ride and he'll run back over to the car door. I let him into the car, we go once around the block and then I put him back in the house.

FYI, this works about 12% of the time on beagles.

He sadly only has two eyes:

You have a Nibbler? What breed? We have a Bender, bichon frise. Considering adding a Nibbler.

The only thing that's ever worked for me has been to pick up whatever I can find off the ground (like a leaf or sometimes even nothing and just pretend there's something in my hand) and say something like, "Oh look at this. Wow. This is awesome. I bet you wish you had this..." and pretend like I have the coolest thing…

The landlord was asking $1,200 a month for my place, but I said I'd throw down 1.5x the security deposit that same day if he'd drop it to $1,100. I cut them a check on the spot and signed papers a day or two later. This place had previously been vacant for three months, and I also reminded the landlord's agent that…

Newegg really needs to get a gift registry. Toasters and blenders are great, but nothing says you're happy for me like sweet Nvidia Quadro K6000..
