Creative ways to save money

It is expensive to live on your own as so much money is invovled just for fixed expenses. When I was in college, I came up with some creative ways to save money. Here are the top 5:

1) Save money on catsup by going to Wendy's and getting those little ketchup packets.

2) Save money on food on weekends by going to Costco or Sam's Club and trying out all the samples.

3) Save money on food when eating out by going with a rich friend and conveniently forget to bring money.

4) Save money on toilet paper by using the facilities in restaurant, at friend's place, or on campus.

5) Save money on envelopes by using drop-off envelopes at admissions office. Instead, use them for personally matters or send love letters to boyfriend.

I'm sure I won't do any of the above nowadays, but it was actually fun during college days. What quirky things did you do to save money during college?

Oh yeah, I just opened a ShareBuilder account today by depositing $100/mo (hope to increase that gradually)!
