47 - The Frugal Files, Part 3

Gym Membership.

Instead of joining a gym, I just walk the path by my house. It's about a mile total, so I simply repeat for the number of miles I want to log in. Plus, with the humidity, it's like getting an extra trip to the sauna (OK, that part is said with a bit of a smirk, but still...)

Every won counts!

Total Savings: 30, 000 won per month.

78 - The Frugal Files: Part 2- ReUse

My tea drinking habits. Strange to relate, I actually prefer weak tea. One bag can last me 6-10 cups. That's right, folks. Or as an English friend once exclaimed, "What do you do, just introduce the tea to the water." Yes, yes I do. It's more like a celebrity sighting. The water's like "Oh, my gosh I'm such a big fan!" and then I'm like "No, sorry, the tea's got better things to do."

Total Savings = about $10 a month.
