Encourage relatives and friends to get online so you can cut down on long distance charges and postage by exchanging email, chatting, and sending virtual birthday cards. Get a big jar or box and at the end of each day, remove all the coins from your pockets and purse. (an empty three pound coffee can works good for this) Get in the habit of only carrying paper money. You'll be surprised how fast your change adds up. Wrap your coins and deposit each month into your savings account. If you have a cell phone, make all your long distance calls from the cell and not your home phone. Most cell plans have free long distance to anywhere within the USA from your home calling area. Liquid dish soap dribbles down the side of the bottle and leaves soap scum on the counter. Put the liquid soap in a trigger spray bottle. The soap is so thick it will just squirt and not spray out. This is easier to handle, lasts longer and saves you money because you'll be buying the soap less often. Buy the best clothes you can afford. Sometimes, that name brand isn't the best quality. But, if you buy clothes that will last you a few years, it's called " investment dressing.

Most cell plans have free long distance to anywhere within the USA from your home calling area. Just make sure you don't go over your "minutes." Know what your plan is, and keep track of the minutes you use, cause extra minutes can cost $0.40+ PER MINUTE. Also, don't accept collect calls on your cell phone. These can run $2/minute or more. A cheaper alternative to a cell phone is a pager with voice mail & a pre-paid calling card. It's not as convient, but you still give people the opportunity to get a message to you at their convience, and you to return their call at yours.
