Saving Tip - Save Your Change and Dollar Bills

My husband and I always save our change, but recently we have started saving our one dollar bills. At the end of each day, we put all of our ones in a little bank, and on Saturday, we deposit what we have, this week alone our deposit was $54.00. You'd be amazed how quickly they add up, and you don't really miss them.

YES - it's a great thing to do. I bought a "book-safe' and put my bills in there every day. I have saved almost $900 since Jan. 1st. it's extremely simple and once they pile up you don't want to spend them. Mine will pay for 2 round trip flights to Ireland and more.

Write your name on your coupon pouch:

This is an excellent tip Kris. Many years back I had my name in my sizeable coupon pouch and the store called me so I was able to retrieve it.

Glasses cases should also have your name and phone number since this is an expensive item to replace. Not only that, the glasses are not much good to someone else.

Having your name on an umbrella can be helpful, but it is doubtful that the umbrella would make it back to you!
