    wildlifer got a reaction from ballwera in pre medical help   
    I would recommend checking out this forum by the student doctor network. It is set up very similarly to this one, but focused on all stuff related to medical, dental, veterinary, etc type schools. http://forums.studentdoctor.net/

    As with many others on this thread... don't pay for cable. Even if you paid for internet and hulu or netflix, it would most likely be cheaper than a cable bill. Besides, most people tend to only watch a handful of shows so why pay for 100+ channels when you maybe watch like 2-5. 
     
    Consignment/light used clothing stores are great. You never know what you'll find and the prices are very reasonable. I found a barely used L.L. Bean down jacket for less than $10 at a good will once, retail on those jackets are upwards of $90!! And along those lines, yard/garage sales. That might be a good way to get furniture if you just recently moved across the country for your program. 
     
    I also sometimes use the dollar stores, depending on the item, it's worth it if you're strapped for cash. Sure the quality may not be great, but it'll work while you're a broke student .
     
    For car repairs... if I can figure it out myself or have a friend/family (Dad) help me with it, then I just buy the parts online. And even if I do need to go the mechanic, if I know what parts to get, I'll get them ahead of time and just pay the mechanic for labor. I can almost always find the parts cheaper than what he would charge me. 
     
    Having only water when going out to eat.. I know, boring, but drinks are stupidly expensive.
