What is your favorite way to save money?

I save on sales items, promotional items, buy 1 take 1 and sometimes combo packs. And coupons or gift cheques are great too for saving money. And aside from that I think to buy the biggest package saves you more than the smaller one. Have a nice day Lady Justice! (^^,)

The best way that I save money is by having 10-15% of my paycheck automagically deposited into my savings account when I am paid. Instant savings, and it doesn't feel like I "lost" the money, because it never was in my checking or main bank account.

I don't really have just one good tip. I use a combination of tips to make it all add up. I only use coupons if it is something I was already going to buy and the coupon brings the price down. I do shop the sales and stock up when possible. Some things I buy in bulk because I either use a lot or they are things that won't go bad. Use the internet to pay bills. You are already paying for the internet connection and with stamps at .39 now and soon to be .41, this can add up to a couple of dollars every month. Markdowns and clearance items. If it is something I need and will use; there are some good bargains here. Swap meets, flea markets, and thrift shops are great places to save money. You can get both new and used merchandise at these. Our local senior center has an annual sale and I got my husband a very nice computer monitor for just $2.00; it wasn't a flat screen, but it was better than the one he was using. eBay - I buy things I need here for a lot less than I would have to pay in a local store. I also sell my old things here (if they are nice enough); if not, I donate tehm to charity or put them in the trash. Recycle and reuse - a little bit of "elbow grease" and a new coat of paint will make a lot of things last a little longer. It is amazing hte uses you can find for everyday items; if you just use your imagination. Used vehicles are great if you get them cheap enough you save a LOT of money on car payments, insurance, and registration. More than enough savings here to pay for the occasional repairs and maintenance. Saving spare change and rounding up in my checkbook. These add up fairly quickly. Making my own. I started doing this because of my food allergy problems and discovered that it also save a bunch of money. It is healthier because there are fewer chemicals, it is fresher and it costs a lot less to make. That is also true for many non-food items. You can use vinegar, ammonia, or bleach and save a fortune on cleaning supplies without having to work harder to get things clean. Here is a great site - with a lot of different ways you can use regular household items - http://www.wackyuses.com/uses.html

Hi,L.J.! I use coupons and do rebates and the money saved goes into the savings account(my dad and I are trying to get back to N.J.whatever money i make off the internet goes into the savings account too

I am a single Mother of 2 with very little support so I do everything I can to save money I am very frugal.I tried to save money by using coupons,buying only sale priced items or items with rebates, sometimes I buy generic items if I dont have a coupon, I sometimes shop in gently used shops for clothes (I buy most of my kids clothes new), I search internet for samples, I shop on ebay and flee markets, I conserve electricity, I use alot old remedies to save on household stuff like vinegar to clean windows, cream of tarter for hardwater stains, bakingsoda for toilet instead of drano, alka selzer to clean toilet, tang for drinks, colds, to clean stove or grease off wall,and I use or do alot of various things to save money. I don't give into to many new gimmicks like toilet wands, febreeze, I only buy single use products that are necessary like femine products and personal hygeine products.

well, before going to a store i will list all the items that i will buy more on the needs less for wants. also bring an approximate amount or how much really the budget for that so that i will not be tempted to buy unnecessary things.keep the receipt so that i can compare the price of the other stores.

I do use coupons as much as possible and purchase only when things are on sale.For the long-lasting items,I will buy and store some away(my pantry is full for friends/family ).I do not buy things that are not oon a sale price and I do alot of comparison shopping.I do not impulse buy and stick to my budget.I try to do all my shopping on a single day to save gas and time as well.Basically,I am a cheap SOB.

i save by the way of systematic investment plan wherein i put in a fixed amount of money every month.

We just try to stay out of the stores whenever possible; stock up on meats, and necessities so that you don't have to shop often. Look for deals of course. But, don't fall for the bogus buy one get one free items. And, shop online at places like Ebay and Amazon.com. I bought a practically brand new camcorder for less than a hundred bucks, all accessories included. It was a total deal. Best of luck with your savings plan!
