If you clip coupons, and keep the change from what you've saved with them, you could be putting that into a jar, the bank, or under your mattress. Don't touch it for at least a year. Just let it keep accumulating. If you only saved $2 a week, that's $104 a year without even trying. More than likely, you'll save a lot more than that, though.
What can you do with $104?
- Fill your car's gas tank - twice.
- Pay the water/sewer/garbage bill.
- Buy a week's worth of groceries.
- Go out to eat someplace nice.
- Pay your cable bill.
- Buy domain hosting for a year.
- Buy someone a nice gift.
- Donate it to your favorite charity.
- Add it to your Christmas or vacation fund.
