TyraTyra prides herself on being the "Queen of Cheap" and shares these money saving secrets!

1. Save time and money when you run out of shaving cream by shaving with olive oil from your kitchen.
2. This is a great decorating tip - use unwanted CD's as coasters. Silver goes with anything and a little bling goes a long way!
3. Get the most out of your makeup. When you're out of lipstick, use a toothpick to dig out that last bit of product from the tube. Put the remaining lipstick into a small container you can pick up at any beauty supply store. BONUS TIP: make your lipstick last longer by using a lipstick brush to apply.
4. I don't know if it's legal...but, a friend told me you can use an empty fast food cup to get free refills at any location for the same chain of stores.
5. Tear out magazine advertisements for perfume and keep them in your purse. When you're smelling a little funky, or want to smell better, use one of the samples to go from funky to fantastic!

Very Resourceful and Inexpensive way to shop for new clothes. My mother and I are both a size 12 so when I want a new outfit I go to her closet and pick out 2 things she hasn't worn in a month or two and exchange 2 things from my closet I haven't worn in a month or so. When she sees her item again it looks totally different paired with something from my closet and so hot pair of shoes.
 
Putting all your under wear into some stockings saves great space!
 
A great way to save money is to recycle old dull shirts, a little fabric paint and your top will look hot!
 
When your going shopiing go straight to the clearance area they have nice clothes for some really low prices!Thats what I do!
 
TYRA, I LOVE YOUR SHOW. ESPECIALLY THE ONE ON "PRINCESS OF CHEAP". YOU SHOULD SOME SHOWS THAT INVOLVE BANDS COMING OVER, AND TELLING THEIR STORY. I LOVE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH, AND YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BRING AAR BACK. LOVE YOU TYRA

IM cheap and beyond!!!!!! I hate having to pay for underwear. So i make it out of my old t-shirts!!! You dont even need a pattern. Just get a favorite underwear, trace it on a piece of old t-shirt that you wont use anymore cut it out and sew it together!!!! It literally takes less then 5 minutes to make!!! i dont remember the last time i paid for underwear...Ive been working at making my own bras cuz 30 dollars for a bra or 3 bras for 10 bucks is super expensive for me.
