Thrifty Thinking: Easy Savings

Here are a few tips for easily saving money. It's a tiny bit at a time, but every bit helps.

- If you get a rebate, put it in your savings account.
- Decide to save every bill with a certain letter on it. Or decide to save all coins, or every $5 bill, or every $1 bill - stick with a little method like this and it will add up fast.
- Round your checks up when you right them in your register. When you reconcile at the end of the month, add that extra amount to your savings account.
- When you use coupons or buy things on sale, put the amount you saved in the savings account.
