"To save money in college, I decided to do the no new clothes challenge last year. This meant I didn't buy new clothes for an entire year. It was a little embarrassing to rewear the same clothes to different parties and events, but it was worth it. After all, I saved all the money!" —Eden from Mint Notion |

"I copied a whole textbook. I didn't feel like buying a new one, so instead, I borrowed one from a classmate and copied the entire thing using the copy machine. It may or may not have taken a few hours but I saved $ 20. And for a college student who was broke, that was a lot!" —Athena from Money Smart Latina |

"Cat litter（猫砂）is something that can set me back a couple hundred dollars every day. However, by toilet-training my cat with a $ 20 toilet trainer, I'm able to save on the costs and avoid the trouble to change it. Plus it's always funny to see the cat on the toilet." —Dustyn from Dime Will Tell |
