Don't wear things you have to dry clean.

Launder at the rents' house or a friend who has a washer/dryer - i.e. try to avoid the laundromat.

WORD on skipping Starbucks - it's so expensive. If you must eat out at lunch Wendy's dollar menu is your friend and it's got enough choices that you won't get bored. If you drink pop at work, buy 2 liters and bring them in instead of paying 60 cents or whatever from the vending machine. Same if you drink juices or bottled water or snacks.

Make sure your gas reading is the actual reading - they might be estimating to your disadvantage. My gas and electric both have a budget option so you don't get screwed at the times of year that you use them the most often.
