Savings Tips

  • Kitchen Pantry Challenge

    See how many meals you can make from what's already in the pantry before shopping. Not only will you save money, you might create some new recipes.
  • No Receipt Too Small

    Save every receipt, whether it’s for a $1,500 computer or a $2 parking fee, because they could all add up to a bigger tax deduction.
  • Twitter Your Way Into the Black

    New, free ways of promoting your business are popping up every day. Web tools like Twitter®, LinkedIn ® and Facebook® let you connect with clients and customers for little more than the cost of your time.
  • There's Savings in Numbers

    Approach other business owners in your area and agree to cross-promote your businesses. You’ll both benefit from increased consumer awareness and essentially free advertising.
  • Bartering is Alive and Well

    Need something done for your business but don’t have the cash for it? Then barter. Trade some of your product or service for a new Web page design, new logo, new signage or whatever it is you need.
  • Grow Your Business on Contract

    As your business grows, hire contractors first; then as you get more repeat business, move to full-time workers. That way, you can hire more experienced staff for fewer hours.
  • Give Your Equipment the Night Off

    When you stop working at the end of the day, make sure everything else does too: computers, printers, lights and anything else that uses energy.
  • Put the Postal Service to Work for You

    Make sure your mailings are reaching their intended targets by having the USPS® clean up your mailing list of incorrect addresses.
  • As Good as New

    You can save thousands of dollars by furnishing your office with used office furniture and equipment.
  • There's $360 in Your Lunch Bag

    Take your lunch to work one more day per week and save up to $360 per year.
  • BBQ When It's Sunny, But Buy When It's Rainy

    Buy BBQ grills or mowers in the fall, when retailers are clearing space for holiday merchandise, and save up to $150.
  • Ink is Ink

    Save up to 60% on ink costs by buying refurbished ink cartridges from the same place you buy the new ones. The only place you’ll notice the difference is on your savings statement.
  • Follow the 30-Day Rule

    Before making a large purchase, wait 30 days. If you still want it a month later, go ahead and get it. Most of the time, you’ll realize it’s not something you need anyway. And that’s money in the bank.
  • You Can't Beat Free

    There’s no better deal than free. Free cone day. Free zoo day. Free summer concerts. Hit them all. And every time you score a freebie, put the equivalent amount away in your savings account.
  • Be a Tuesday Vegetarian

    Become a vegetarian one or two days a week. You’ll save money on groceries and get a healthy break from meat to boot.
