I love this site. We buy gift cards for ourselves at Giant Eagle and Kroger. If you buy gift cards, you will get "Fuel Perks" for buying merchandise at other stores. Let's say I buy a $50.00 gift card for Kohls at Giant Eagle. Then I go to Kohls and use it. The fact that I purchased the gift card at Giant Eagle means that I get $0.40 off per gallon of gas. $0.40 may not seem like a lot, but when you add it with a Joann's, McDonald's, and Best Buy gift card, that's $1.60 off per gallon. Hopefully I made sense ?!?!?! Great tips. I love this site.

Two of the favorites: http://breakingeven.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/04/making-the-most.html A Complete Guide To Composting (which saves a lot if your city charges $2 a bag for garbage like mine!) http://breakingeven.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/04/5-tips-on-how-t.html Five Ways To Cut Down On Energy Use What I like about these is they are fairly painless and don't make it feel like your missing out on anything. Oh and I try to have whole commerce-free days where I don't buy anything. I'll be posting on that this weekend. Thanks for the opportunity to participate!

A high quality cloth diaper is as easy to use as a disposable and reduces the cost per diaper use from about 20 cents to about half a cent. Since you'll change a few thousand diapers on each child, that's a whole lot of savings. Plus, the bumGenius diapers are high-quality enough that they have some online resell value after you're done with kids.

It much cheaper to only heat/cool one room vs. your whole house. Window ACs are hard to move around so just put it in the room you spend the most time in during the warm months. My wife and I put one in our bedroom for those nights when it's so hot you can't get to sleep. For the winter we wear more clothes and sit under blankets, they're much cheaper than heating the whole house (especially ours which leaks like a sieve).

There are so many things from building a headboard, to growing a garden, to doing your own car maintenance that can save you a ton of money. I also find that even as a beginner I can often do a better job than some people who I would pay to do the job.

I love my debit card. It makes it easy to go about my business but I used to carry no cash, only my card. By switching to buying everything with cash, I am able to budget myself much easier. I know I have a certain amount in my wallet to last for a certain period of time and I can see it going down as I spend it. Buy everything with cash. I love my debit card.
