Here’s a couple for your list:

Shop at the dollar store before going to Wal Mart, BJs, or the grocery store for many of your needs.

I’m a roofer – so I realize that attic ventilation will help double the life of your roof – no matter what type of roof you may have (asohalt shingles, tiles, flat). Also, the ventilation will give you 10% lower energy bills, as your ceilings will be cooler, because your attic will be cooler. Home Deopt and Lowes have power attic fans that with thermostat for about $100.

Also, Wal Mart sells 100% UV ray blocking curtains. Your windows lose a lot of energy as well. Don’t like curtains? Try tint, there are many great and cheap installers available.

These 3 tips save me literally HUNDREDS A MONTH!

I bought a hair catcher do-dad for my shower drain to avoid having to worry about plumbing issues. I have long hair that likes to shed constantly so it's saved us a lot of hassle.Sarah's last blog post..Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke: Love & Money

I love not needing coffee filters with our French Press, very easy clean up for it, too!CFLs come in different light colors, it seems--we have several that give off a nice warm light, as well as some of the colder seeming office white ones. Now if I could only figure out what I had bought different so I could recommend them to others!Erin's last blog post..What Juice Do You Buy?
