Money Saving Tips:

Save on printer ink by using the Century Gothic font, which in a recent study showed consumes about a third less ink than industry standard Arial.

Sell your junk
….get an idea of what it’s really worth at itaggit.com, an online “blue book” for pack rats and collectors.

Scratch and Dent stores sell groceries and appliances discounted by 50% or more. They buy up truckloads that are damaged, or near their sell by dates. Go to andersonscountrymarket.net/directory for a state-by-state list.

Save Cellphone minutes
by skipping long winded voice mail greetings or instructions. Press * when calling Verizon customers, the number 1 for Sprint users, or the # sign for AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers.

Buy Gift Cards for up to 30% off their face value at plasticjungle.com, giftcardrescue.com, or giftcardsagain.com, where the cards are sold by gift-getters who don’t want them.

Get rewards for shopping online from ebates.com. You register and then click to visit any of about 1,000 partner retailers. You can collect a reward from 1 to 40% of your purchase amount which arrives as a check or a credit to your Paypal account.

Kids eat FREE, or at a discount , at dozens of chain restaurants. Find them at familyfriendlyamerica.com and coupondivas.com .

Avoid flight booking fees by using a computer. Virtually every U.S. airline adds a hefty surcharge if you book by phone or at the ticket counter.

Free Admission to more than 100 museums, zoos, and science centers on the first weekend of every month if you have a Bank of America ATM, credit or check card. Get details at museums.bankofamerica.com.

Free online calculators can help you make decisions on tough money issues like retirement, investing, and insurance. At choosetosave.org, operated by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, you can find specialized number crunchers.

Thank You Z- Faith

I like too add to one many forget..... automobile maintence. I can't tell you how much good people waste $ on low

fuel economy. Just tire psi adjust at all fours helps up to .7MPG. Keeping it clean and waxed,slick,it cuts drag down.

We did a Lesabre,for old couple,he thought 25mpg on hwy was ok. Told them a good tune up,will increase it by a

lot.We did plugs,wires,filters, ect ect, adjusted all 4 tire Psi,to 32psi,drained oil/filter lube service.They left went on a trip

they came back were now getting 33-34 mpg. 4.5mpg on average increase, this on they traveled much hilly country.

Hope it may save money on gasoline.
