This week you'll find an assortment of savings suggestions.  Please feel free to add your own savings tips to the mix.  We hope you enjoy. 

• Cutting back on a $1 soda per day could save you $365 a year!
• Spending money to keep up on the maintenance of your car can save you a lot of money in the long run (ex. change your oil every 3,000 miles, check your tire pressure regularly, etc.). 
• Work on reducing debt by starting with the highest interest rate loan or credit card.  
• Weatherproof your home.  Caulk holes that let warm air escape in the winter and cold air escape in the summer. 
• Save money on gas by accelerating gently in your vehicle. 
• Try planning your meals.  This will help you avoid eating out.

• Pack a lunch instead of eating out. 
• Create a budget.
