Rebates

-Many places offer rebate options when you buy certain items (Walgreens, Dollar General, and Menards). Some will send you a check for your money, other stores will give you a certificate to spend on future purchases at their store.

-Read the paper online.
-Read books on how to save money.
-Read up on purchases before you buy something, especially large ticket items.

Rummage Sales

Great place to find what you are looking for. Also a great place to find things you "think" you need and fall into the stuff trap. Make a list of what you need (kids clothing, shoes, kitchen items, gifts, etc) and only shop for those items you need.
