Got No Shame? Try These Money Saving Hacks

Scoring free drinks

User "Jan", who also goes by the name "lifelong lifehacker", shared some tips for drinking "good stuff cheaply" by heading to a casino and posing with far more chips or tokens than you intend to use.

According to Jan, "Waitresses seeing your tokens will present you free drinks to get you wasted. When you're done exchange your tokens."

Exam prep without the prep

Andrew's tip deviated from money-saving but was no less sly.

He suggests sending out a mass email to your class a day or two before an exam letting everyone know you've finished creating a study guide for yourself and would like to swap it with others'.

"Don't actually make a study guide; they send you theirs and you send back someone else's. You get study guides, they get a study guide, it's a win-win for everyone."

Five movies for the price of one

"Cara" begins by promising she isn't trying to promote her suggestion, stating it depends where you draw the line on ethics.

Her money saving life hacks include "movie hopping", where you buy a ticket to one film then duck into others in the cinema, seeing multiple films over the course of a day.

She also suggests lying about your child's age to score kids' prices and watering down drinks if you're in the restaurant business.

Free parking

If you live in a busy city that charges through the roof for parking, "Imran" offers a sneaky way to park in a central location without paying a cent.

"Go to a garage or mechanic that offers a free service such as tyre rotation or pressure check," he said.

"Take the car to them early in the morning and say you can't pick it up until the evening. Free parking for the day."

Getting into a party

If you've ever had trouble with a door list at a party, user "Prince" may have just the trick for you.

It all comes down to your outfit, according to Prince: "Wear the right outfit. And that outfit is usually a reflective work vest, hard-hat, and/or a repairman's jumpsuit. Seriously. Workmen get in anywhere."

They also suggest considering a toolbox for "maximum effect".

Flying

For extra carry-ons at no cost, go the airport gift shop and ask for one of their shopping bags, and stuff as much as you can into it. Because it looks like you purchased it at the airport, the flight will (allegedly) let you bring it on free, even if it's over your carry-on limit.
