Unfortunately, a lot of times you have to have and spend money to save money. The brita filter will cost money up front, but in the long run, you save a ton. Buying more groceries to include sandwich making stuff will cost more up front, but will again save more in the long run. Saving money is a combination of cutting back and making switches to cheaper things. You do what you can here and there you know?
Another thing that I did is, I stopped paying with credit and my debit card. It was hard because I get cash back rewards. The reason why is, I am less likely to spend cash. I see the cash, I have to take it out of my wallet and as I look at it I think, "maybe I don't need this afterall." I buy alot less impulsivley this way. Also, at the end of the day I have change. I take that change and put it in a huge coffee can. When the can is full, I roll it and then put it in a shoe box. I have a few shoe boxes of rolled coins saved for a rainy day. There is probably only a few hundred dollars in there, but hey, in an emergency, every little bit helps.
