From magazine.

If you do your laundry at the cleaners, rather donate it to the Salvation Army and they will wash and iron it. Then you buy it back for R50.00

Don't buy an address book. Use your telephone book and scratch out all the names and addresses of people you don't know.

Any more good advice?
 
Save a years supply on Toothpicks:
- first use it to clean your teeth
- then your nails before rinsing & drying
- then file the edge sharp again
- replace in container
 
You can also develop a vitamin C deficiency by not eating veggies. Your teeth will loosen and ache so you can' eat meat. That way you save on veggies and meat.
 
Return the news paper daily once you are done reading citing poor quality.

From the same article/email:

Don't buy an expensive ipod/mp3 player, just hum a tune while you are walking, and when you want to change songs, just stop and then start humming something else
 
When you and friends go to a restaurant, have them order, but not you, and immediately ask for the bill. Now you can have those after-dinner mints to eat ...

I'd actually just install a Roman bath (I think it's called)

Basically a shower head next to the toilet. Saves a lot on toilet paper and uses minimal water
 
Tell your sweet little kids that Father Xmas, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny were all killed in a plane crash on their way here.

Go to a GAME store and buy any product that says "save R 500!!!!!!!!". That's about anything from a TV to a pack of chips. You buy a thousand of them. 1000 X the R 500 you save on each of them = R 500 000 saved. Voila! Do this each month and you've saved R 500 000! This is a great idea for a pyramid scheme...
