Tips for saving up money?

In my house, all adults, we have two gold cat banks, and a Hello Kitty one. They are mostly decoration, although I think I have a silver dollar stuck in one of my cats (I collect old coins).
I need to get back into riding my bicycle, and working on it. Where I live there isn't really anywhere that I go that is within biking distance that isn't within walking distance. Longer rides come with a huge chance of getting hit by a car.
I had a friend that acquired a handful of bicycles and left them at different stations so that she could always pick one up wherever she was headed. Great idea.
Damn. Mine was probably the cost of all of these combined.
Just pay attention when the mods tell you to chill out and you shouldn't get banned (for long).
To save money it sounds like you need to have someone else hold onto it for you. Tell whoever is giving you the allowance to withhold a set amount from each week so that you aren't tempted to use it and can save it for something that is more expensive. Ensure they are someone that won't give it to you until you are using it toward a Pyra.
When I have control of the money I barely spend anything, to the point of it being a problem for others (they always complain about needing food and such). That is why I don't do that anymore. It seems the place to be is somewhere between where we are. And, really, who needs food when there are so many important books out there? I have enough extra weight around the middle that the books seem the right choice to me.
@JDTAY: Don't eat for a day (but keep drinking lots of water). Saves up around 10 dollars each time you do that. If you do it weekly, like on fridays, you save 40 dollars a month on food. Might be a bit extreme. Skip dinner, but eat a good breakfast.
I go to the market very late because prices are lower (a whole box of something for cheap), or there is something on the ground you can pickup, wash and remove the skin from before you eat it (I mostly cook these first, as you never know).
Now that it is winter, I use a pitcher to keep me warm at night. I then wash myself in the morning with the lukewarm water of the pitcher. This saves up heat. In the summer, I of couse use cold water to wash myself.
It seems I use 1/10th of gas from the average in my situation. And about half of the electricity (as I keep my PC on for many things). It was higher, but using the pandora to watch things I saved to disk helps lower the consumption.

Hot water bottle perhaps?
I duckduckgo'ed "waterkruik translate" and it came with that word... http://m.interglot.com/nl/en/waterkruik
Ugh.. Interglot has a "Vodka is strong, meat is rotten" quality of translation: http://m.interglot.com/nl/es/?q=waterkruik
One of the translations to spanish is waterthrower because a baseball pitcher is a baseball thrower... so a water pitcher is a... you guessed it... a water thrower!
And calling it hot water BOTTLE is like using HAND-SHOES... (in Dutch: handschoenen)

And yet... that is what they seem to be called . Though arguably "kruik" is not all that different. Seems to come from "jar".
At least I'm not giving him the onion ring address where you can sell a kidney and get paid in Monero... (in Persona5 it is a heart that the protagonist sold)
(Don't do it Risky and it's not much, as you have to pay your plane ticket, and revalidate whereever because they will not pamper you... and you want to get away as fast as possible, because if it looks like you are not gonna make it (or look unhappy about the transaction or like you are going to snitch), they'll take the other kidney as well). Netherlands is big in human trafficking (mostly prostitution, but also organs). I feel ashamed of that (and the facts we sell armaments to the middle-east).
Anyway...
I would never buy Persona 5. Because I do not have a playstation 3/4. So the solution is simple: sell your playstation 3/4. Maybe you'll get 40 dollars for it.
But I play Persona 5. Here's how I do it:
I google "Persona 5 part 1" and play the video. Meanwhile I use a cardboard controller (made out of free cardboard from the supermarket, shaped like a and hold it in my hand while watching the video). The controller response is awful, but if you ask the opinion of the Angry Videogame Nerd, there are games with worse controllers...

I think that might be when he quoted me. I don't have a notification for that when I probably should.
No idea why that happened. Not that it really matters.

Sorry... mixup from another thread (creating a time-causality paradox). Your text was:
>>With 5G my push ups are 5 times more effective !! YEAH !!
Was going to reply something about Dragonball, where they go into a room with more gravity than normal, to train. I then deleted the quote but before posting... so... strange effect.
But in this reality that did not happen, so don't worry about that.
How do you save money?

Oh man, I have $80 on my prepaid debit card now.
Kinda tempted to go play a few lotto scratchers. As satisfying as saving up enough money for Pyra would be, I have a feeling winning $500 on a scratcher today and shoving it in Wally's face would be even more satisfying. I gotta admit, the odds are against me though.

Well, lucky for me, the lotto scratchers are seven tenths of a mile away, and I don't feel like walking today.

I am a banana!
I think i'll be doing the laughing as you've got no sense of budgeting and will probably spend the money on something ridiculous

FYI, it was forty, and in addition to the forty left on my card, I have close to four hundred still in my bank account this month.
I do have to pay the cleaners a couple times though, and I owe my older sister some money for being part of her cell phone service family plan. Nickels and dimes, man...
