Travel by Bike
The U.S. is becoming more pedal-happy, which can save you money. If you're just riding to and from work, spend about $500 on a commuter bike—skip the carbon frame or GatorSkin tires. Or, if your city has one, sign up for a bike-share program, which costs about $100 a year.
Eat More Frugal-Friendly Health Food
These go for less than $1.00 per serving: Try black beans or chickpeas (both $0.89 per can) in a salad; snack on non-GMO edamame ($2.49 for a 15-ounce bag, or $0.50 a serving). For dinner, pick up red lentils ($3 a pound, about $0.30 a serving) or quinoa ($5 a box, about $0.40 a serving).
Swap Sweating For Sipping
Organize a girls' night out or "sweatworking" meeting at a fitness class, which costs less than dinner out and spares you all of those cocktail calories.
Bake Homemade Protein Bars For Breakfast On The Go
Could you also buy something pre-packaged? Yep, but a recipe with almond butter, bran cereal, dried fruit, and seeds would cost you less than $.50 a bar, while a similar store-bought version is closer to $2.
