Here are some items that you can put in your glove box and save time and money.

Receipts Envelope
An envelope for your receipts. Write the month and year on the envelope and put it in your glove box. Every month when you do your budget take the envelope out and put in a new one. You will pat yourself on the back at tax time.

Insurance Card
Make sure you have a current insurance card in your glove box. It can be a real time waster if you can't provide proof of insurance when you are pulled over or get into a fender bender. Especially if you are traveling.

Ice Scraper
Make sure you always have an ice scraper, even if it is a small one. Toss a light pair of gloves in there too so you don't freeze your fingers when you are cleaning your windshield.

A Gas Log Book
Track your gas consumption and mileage.

Spare Fuses
If you have some spare fuses it can be a real time saver.

Restaurant Coupons
It's nice to have them handy when you eat out.

A pen and a note pad
Always handy to have in the car to write down phone numbers, license plate numbers or addresses on Garage Sale signs.

In the case that came with my contacts years ago, I have put a mini emergency kit....a few bandages, antibacterial ointment, mini scissors, a few Q-tips, pins, needle & thread, a little bit of money (quarters, dimes and nickels), kleenex (tissues), personal hygiene items, etc. Every once in a while it comes in very handy.

I also have a face cloth and a mini spray bottle of Armorall in the glove box. When you have to wait for someone somewhere, the dash and doors can always be dusted.

I keep a state map and a local city map in my glove box. Ever tried to find a map in a phone book at a public phone booth? The map is always torn out.
