Stretching the Dough

Q. I'm on a tight budget here at school. Actually, that's an understatement. I don't even think what I've got qualifies as a budget. Where can I get some tips on how to make the few dollars I've got go further?

A. One day, you'll look back fondly at these cash flowless days. You'll laugh at the memory of scrimping and saving for weeks so you could take your boyfriend out to Taco Bell for Valentine's Day. Until then, check out the Motley Fool's Living Below Your Means (LBYM) message board. Fools are talking about such things as saving on grocery bills, "recycling" food, and vaccinating pets at home. Find out how these frugal Fools stretch their budgets and how you can, too.
