  • Save Time - Make a list. Planning eliminates extra trips — grocery, shopping, and errands — due to forgotten items. And when you can, combine trips to save even more time.
  • Save Money - Review two or three of your most recent credit card bills, highlighting all your essential purchases: the non-essential items that remain might surprise you. Prioritize your luxury spending, cutting out the items that you don’t really need.
  • Save for the Future - When buying major appliances such as a refrigerator, washer, dryer or dishwashing machine, spend slightly more now to save more money in the long run on energy and water bills: buy the appliance with the highest ENERGY STAR and WaterSense ratings that you can afford.
  • Save Time - To save time, do your grocery shopping in the middle of the week, when lines are shorter and stores are not as crowded.
  • Save Money - Track all of your spending for two weeks—this includes coffee, magazines, tollbooths, etc. Look at the results and see where you might able to cut back.
  • Save for the Future - Put all your coin change you receive from purchases into a jar. At the end of the month, take the jar's contents to the bank and put it right into savings.
