To save $$ in our house, we've done a number of things to save money:

1. Go to Sam's Club and stock up on bulk items
2. Have a garden in the summer and freeze and can for the winter months and enjoy the produce in the summertime
3. Called Direct TV and asked them what kind of 'deals' they can give me because we've been a loyal and longtime customer. The rep gave me $10/month off my bill for a year and 3 months free of HBO, Showtime and another one (I can't remember!)
4. Use the dishwasher and dryer at night (saves electricity)
5. In the summer, hang out heavy items (like DH's work clothes) or comforters to dry instead of using the dryer
6. Make homemade soups and desserts instead of buying them and freeze them
7. Make homemade dinners and freeze leftovers
8. Stock up on meats when they're on sale
9. Buy the new energy lightbulbs (the prices have gone down now)
10. Sell on E-Bay
11. Have a yard sale (did that last spring and made $$)
12. Use coupons!
13. Send off for the freebies from the freebies board. I'm surprised at what I get! It's wonderful!
14. Join MyPoints and get points and send off for my free gift cards.
15. Join survey groups that offer cash or gift cards for surveys. I don't waste my time on the ones that give me a sweepstakes entry
16. I always give the washing machine an extra spin cycle to take away more water and then put in a dry towel in the dryer to soak up moisture
17. We usually don't eat out now unless we have a gift card or coupon

I know I have more but I just can't think of them right now.
