“To save money in college, I decided to do the no new clothes challenge last year. This meant I didn’t buy new clothes for an entire year. It was a little embarrassing to rewear the same clothes to different parties and events, but it was worth it. After all, I saved all the money!”

“I copied a whole textbook. I didn’t feel like buying a new one, so instead, I borrowed one from a classmate and copied the entire thing using the copy machine. It may or may not have taken a few hours but I saved $ 20. And for a college student who was broke, that was a lot!”

“Cat litter（猫砂）is something that can set me back a couple hundred dollars every day. However, by toilet-training my cat with a $ 20 toilet trainer, I’m able to save on the costs and avoid the trouble to change it. Plus it’s always funny to see the cat on the toilet.”
---Dustyn from Dime Will Tell
