The Cheap Issue
Be cheap all day long
Wake up, take a shower, get dressed, go to work, go out, go home and save some scratch at every step.
- Save the day: How to conserve cash every moment of your cheap-ass, penny-pinching, street-smart life.
- Printable stores lists: A convenient grouping of every retailer in our cover story.
- In this corner (store): Not all bodegas charge $6.99 for a Daily News and a bottle of O.J. Here are five with some real deals.
- Sunny and share: How much money can one woman save by splitting everything—with strangers?
- School for scroungers: Dental work, cheap and performed by students—six words that don't go great together. Or do they? Before you avail yourself of these services, let our guinea pigs test them out first.
- What kids are all right? : We want your recommendations for cheap student services that still deliver the goods.
- The $28,000 question: How a young-buck music publicist—and an immigrant hack supporting a wife and newborn—lives on a hedge-fund manager's beer money. (Eating is sometimes optional.)
- Fun daytime TV games: So as to not offend anyone's lawyer's, we're presenting games inspired by a show we'll call "The Vice is Tight."
- Go low: We present six ordinary shopping items and you tell us which three are the cheapest.
- Missing digit: We reveal the prices of ordinary shopping items with one number removed. You guess what it is.
