The Cruel Intentions actress – who is married to fellow movie star Freddy Prince Jr. – admits she does all she can to save money.

Sarah revealed to Self magazine: “I take my reusable bag to Whole Foods so I get a discount.

“I go to Bloomingdale’s on double rewards day. And I always print my dry cleaning coupons before I go. My dry cleaner laughs. He’s like, ‘You don’t have to keep printing them out!'”

The 30-year-old actress – whose next movies include The Air I Breathe and Possession – also revealed she rides around her home city of New York on a child’s bike.

She said: “Not only is it bright pink with the bell and streamers and the whole thing, but it has Hello Kitty tyres. Every time I leave my apartment, my doorman just shakes his head.”

Sarah is delighted to have quit Hollywood and moved back to Manhattan, as she hated living in Los Angeles.

She said: “I felt a little suffocated. All I did every day was drive to work and back. I was losing my conversation skills. Acting is a lonely business sometimes. You don’t always know who to trust. I’ve been really fortunate.

“I’ve had my family. I’ve had the same friends. You look in our apartment and the pictures on the mantel from last week are the same people from when I was five years old.”
