Tips for Saving Money-Conga if ya want

Save Big On Prescriptions
If you take a prescription medicine regularly that comes in tablets,
ask your doctor to prescribe a double-strength dose and split the
tablets. Most of them are scored for splitting. The savings can be
huge.

Improve Gas Mileage
The added weight of items in or on your car needlessly reduces gas
mileage. If you have a roof rack or bike rack, take it off until you
need to use it. If your trunk is full, clean it out. The added weight
not only slows your car down, but decreases gas mileage as well.
Reduce the extra weight to fill up less often

Long Distance
Most telephone companies charge an insane amount of fees along with your usage. We had AT&T and were literally paying about $40-$60 a month for an average of 300 minutes of long distance a month. If you cancel your service you wont have to pay all the extra fees. Instead just use Sam's Club calling cards. They are 3.4 cents per minute. We save at least $20 a month probably more from this. Our phone bills went from anywhere from 60-90 to not more than 30 a month!!

When traveling...instead of withdrawing money from a 'foreign' ATM and getting hit with service fees, go into a supermarket and buy a bottle of water, pack of gum, anything. Then pay with your debit card, choose the cash-back option, and get the money that way.
