Save after the pump Gas mileage drops as your speed increases. Drive the speed limit and you will save money and possibly lives. Every 5mph over 60mph you drive is like paying an extra dime a gallon, or more.
Bag it Commit to bringing your lunch to work instead of eating out. Even if you eat lunch off the dollar menu every day chances are you are still spending at least three bucks a day, over a years time that adds up to almost $1,100.
3-way save Lose that health club membership. You don’t need to go to a gym to exercise or work out. You can get an effective workout in your own home or neighborhood and if necessary, one time purchases on simple equipment will still allow you to save considerably over the years on membership fees not to mention the money you save in gas and time.
Check it out Instead of buying books or renting movies, borrow them from the library, friends or family.
No charge Use cash instead of credit. If you don’t have enough cash then you can’t have it. Use credit cards only for emergencies from here on out.
Time for change Save your change in one place. Don’t lay change here and there around your home or vehicle. Instead have a jar in your entryway, bathroom or bedroom where you can drop your change at the end of the day. Commit to taking the jar and depositing the saved change into your savings acct once a month. It adds up, believe me.

If I could also note with regard to our vehicles. Make sure they are well tuned and firing on all cylinders, and the tire pressure is correct.
And for those who drink several glasses of water each day and cannot stand the taste of chlorine from the spigot (yuck!) and who are purchasing bottled water? You can save a few dollars by getting an inexpensive water filter such as a Brita pitcher. If you belong to a Sam's Club they have them. One Brita cartridge usually lasts about five weeks. You can also take a few of those water bottles you might already have (preferably heavy plastic) rinse them thoroughly then refill from the Brita. It's up to ones discretion as to how long you use each bottle. Usually about two to three weeks.
