#59 Halving

Look for ways to divide things in half for savings.

I found a special on big dog bisquits, but my dog eats medium ones, so I bought them and break them in half for my dog to eat.

Some people order a prescription double dose of what they need and split the pills so they last twice as long for the same price.

There are people who cut a dryer sheet in half and only use half for each load of laundry. For clothes that are not really dirty, half the amount of laundry soap may be enough.

There are times when a product is on sale and you and a friend can split it half and half, each getting what you need and only paying half.

Some restaurants have very large servings for a good price. Split a meal. Some restuarants charge extra to put it on two plates for you but almost none charge you if you split it yourself. Splitting it yourself gives you more control over the amounts of each item that each person gets in accordance with their preferences. For large servings and small appetites, you might even want to consider splitting an entree 3 ways. Ditto for desserts.
