1. Cut dryer sheets in half. You'll save on buying more and keep the parts of your dryer in good working order, longer.
2. Use paperbackswap.com to swap and trade your books for other books you'd like for the cost of postage.
3. Use Netflix to preview workout dvds before you buy to prevent buyer's remorse.
4. Save loose change. My husband and I save about $200-300 per year which we use for Christmas shopping/entertaining.

I got a part-time job at a small neighborhood gym. Not only do I make extra money from working there, but I get a free gym membership too! I haven't paid to workout in almost 3 years!!

Great ideas, I have another. My best friend and I are basically the same size. We share clothes, especially dress clothes that we both don't wear very much. It works out great for both of us.
