Saving Money in Small Ways

I'm still feeling great from our purge and re-organize this past weekend.  I've loved sitting in the living room drinking my coffee with the morning news on.

Which got me thinking.

Just by setting the coffee maker on delay to brew a fresh pot for 6:45am I'm saving upwards of $600/year ($3.00/coffee * 5 days a week * about 40 weeks).  That's not too shabby.

What small ways do you save money every day?

  1. I pack a lunch everyday. I do sometimes go out for supper or breakfast on weekends but I always bring a lunch to work.

    I also don't drink coffee or tea, but I do enjoy the occassional hot chocolate especially if it's roll up thhe rim time. Sad that it's over now.
