By not pooring a slab in this exact same location I saved over 2K in dirt work and concrete.  The slab alone would have cost around $2800 but the dirt would have run me another 500-1000 if I spread it myself.  That and I didn't have to change the natural landscape too much and water can run underneath it, there were a few advantages outside of the cost savings that I feel like I got by going to an elevated wooden deck.
