• 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.

• 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.
