Added water to stretch food. They saved $70 doing their own car repairs. Saved $250 by stretching leftovers and eating dehydrated foods. Saved $150 by buying things at thrift stores. Saved $200 by cutting their own hair. Cut out entertainment purchases altogether. Russell got a night job working as a janitor in addition to his job as a chemist.
