Want a really simple, painful way to save lots of money? Pick up a really nasty fall cold, and stick with it for ten days or so… 
- Nothing stops you from wasting money on pointless purchases quite like feeling too ill to do anything but lie around and stare into space. Even normally dangerous places like a book store don’t appeal to me when I can’t concentrate.
- When you can’t really breath, nothing has a taste. So that filet mignon or lobster tail probably won’t be trying to make an appearance in your menu planning. As a positive side effect, if you’re trying to lose weight, not being able to taste will certainly help you along!
- A diet of cough drops and chicken noodle soup is dirt cheap.
