I like to save money, who doesn’t? Well of course there are those people that spend for the obvious consumption. Then there are the bleeding edge tech spenders and the compulsive unconscious mall shoppers.

Okay, so not everyone like to save money and in the grand scale of money savers, with 10 being the most frugal and tight and 1 being the least worried about it, I’m probably a 4.

Honestly, I could do more to save money but I’m not going to drive 40 miles to save 10 cents a gallon on gas. For me, time is the one commodity I don’t have enough of.

Even in the money saving world, I hate mail in rebates, seems like most never come back. I’m, not a huge fan of warehouse clubs where you buy more than you need and I’m certainly not the guy capturing used shower water to use to flush the toilets. And I’m certainly not this guy (my nephew) considering a car wash to cut water expenses.


Take a shower at the car wash to save money

I could really do more to save money and I’d like to be a 7 out of 10. Maybe I should be more ashamed or embarrassed that I’m not doing more?

I do recognize that every penny saved is one less penny to earn and that fact doesn’t escape me. I’d much rather work smarter, than harder.

But in my days I think I’ve seen plenty of examples of people that take it too far. From washing the paper plates to use them again or using old pantyhose for the coffee filter. The other day I saw a news story on a guy that avoids taking his car anywhere that goes up hill so he uses less gas. Using his driving tips he is getting 99 miles a gallon with his Toyota Prius. Admirable. But I’m sure the “Nenpimania” hypermilers in Japan that got 116 MPG in their computer hacked Priuses are laughing at only 99 MPG. “Silly American drivers”, they’re saying. Maybe I should look more into fueling my car with water? Here is another interesting article about converting water into hydrogen to power your car.

Maybe I’m missing some easy money saving tricks or tips. If I am, share them in the comments section. What’s your favorite money saving tips?
