"Nothing is, is the cheapest thing that you can buy. Hi I'm Carrie Kukuda the Someday coach. Some tips on how to buy nothing. Garage sales are a great place to start typically people are trying to get more then what the thing is worth. Or what you think is worth. So you can take that item that is twenty dollars and probably get it for two. So that's a good way to spend less money or almost nothing. You want to think about bartering with your friends or family, that's a great way to get some things that you want and need and be able to give back when you are done with it. You can stay home, that's a great way to not spend any money or buy anything. You can also get a gym membership at, or instead of getting the gym membership just put on your sneakers, grab the dog, the leash and take a walk. Another idea to saving money say you have to have that new car, you can also go and buy a used car. For example I bought a car that was worth twenty seven thousand dollars and I got it for sixteen five eight months later so, just a little crazy stuff to send your way for your wants, your wants, your wants, but you want to buy it for nothing. So Carrie Kukuda thank you very much."
