Finding creative ways to save money is in fashion these days (see TV shows like Extreme Couponing, for example!) and hopefully, the trend will continue. The days of ostentatious spending and opulent wealth are gone, and savvy thriftiness has taken its place.
It might not look like much on the surface, but making small purchases from time to time can really add up, and you might not realize it until you see the amount in your savings account begin to dwindle. However, there are many other ways to save money aside from the obvious (like buying less stuff). For example, it is important to consider when you buy things, where you buy things, and which payment method you use. Every choice matters, and a penny saved is a penny earned.
So stop paying so much for insurance, save some quarters at the gas pump, and embrace the budget. You are not being stingy or cheap; you are being extremely clever and frugal. It should not cost you a dime to save big money. There are other options these days aside from your standard piggy bank—though if you still like the clink of the coins falling into that hollow ceramic pig, don’t toss it to the curb just yet!
