If you have summer clothes you did not wear at all last year, then get rid of it. The same goes for winter clothes, if it wasn't used last winter then get rid of it. If you can go one whole season and not use that item then it isn't something you adore and can't live without. The same rule goes for shoes, purses, coats, gloves, etc. Good luck on your cleaning.

We pretty much do the rest of the things already submitted by others....any ideas???

I do this with all of my family members and we save a huge amount of money. Best of all, if I don't save at least the cost of my Costco membership, they mail me a check for whatever amount it cost me above my savings for that year. So if, in total, I paid $50 for my membership during the year but I only saved $35, Costco, at the end of the year cuts me a check for the additional $15 that I didn't save by shopping at Costco. It works out to be a great deal for everyone, provided they can all agree on which products they like best or are willing to use. Ben,

Then the bank pays those bills on your behalf. If your bank doesn't require you to do that, you can take that money and instead pay it into your own savings account until those bills are actually due - that way you'll earn a little interest on your money throughout the year. You would then pay the those bills yourself when they come due. to Alex: re: #32: Some people pay their escrow money (for property taxes and/or insurance) to their bank – it’s included with the monthly mortgage payment.

Quarterly the store issues %-off coupons based on his purchases - he waits for the online sales and gets the additional percentage off the sale prices (keep an eye out for the sales as the seasons change to get the best selection/sizes). All his friends say they're jealous because he's rich - he just smiles and is proud to tell them how they can be too if they'd just stop paying full retail!

Whatever he clips and saves on our grocery bill, he earns. The money goes into a "sharebuilder" account at INGdirect.com for him. As the account grows, he can buy individual stocks and learn how the stockmarket works on a small scale (or large scale later). Savings and investing all-in-one!
