I've been working from home for 7 months and I've saved thousands of dollars - here's how I did it

About seven months ago, I relocated from New York City to Los Angeles and started working remotely for Business Insider.
I'm originally from California, and the lure of year-round sun and the Pacific Ocean finally got the best of me. Not to mention, three to four round-trip flights a year to visit family and friends at $300 each was taking a toll on my bank account.
I recently spent a week in Business Insider's Manhattan office, and after daily lunches, coffee breaks, and subway rides, I started thinking of all the ways I save money working from home.
In total, I estimate my annual savings are nearly $6,000. Of course, some of that has gone to other expenses, such as my yoga studio membership and car and renter's insurance, but for the most part my bank account has grown, as has my entertainment budget.
Below, check out the biggest ways I save along with my estimated annual savings for each category.
