I like to stock up on those plastic pencil pouches during back to school sales. This is an easy way to organize coupons for on the go!
Many printable coupons from coupons.com, also offer the option to have a printed coupon sent to you from them. I use this option because one of my local grocery stores won't take Internet coupons. But they do take this type of coupon, sent from the coupons.com, because my name and address are printed on it.
This is a very clever tip! Thanks to Mary for sending this in!
Host an Auction Party as a fun way to get rid of things you don’t want and acquire things you do—all for free! Ask each guest to bring at least one item they would like to get rid of and a snack to share. All
the items are put on a table for everyone to look at while guests are arriving. Then hand each person $1,000 in play money. Someone assumes the position of auctioneer, and the articles are auctioned off to the highest bidder using the play money. The items can be anything from computers to
television sets, jewelry, clothing, plants, etc.
Always check free sample packages for bonus coupons! I just went through some free samples and found coupons for 75 cents/1 Honey Nut Cheerios and 50 cents off Glad trash bags.
If you have a box of cookies or crackers that has gone stale, it’s easy to freshen them again. Just pop them into a 350 F oven for about five minutes. They will soften at first and become crisp when they cool.
Inexpensive napkin rings can be made from shower curtain rings. There are a lot of colors and designs that can be used for a casual table setting.

Prevent drippy candles at your next holiday party by freezing them for a couple hours before lighting them.
Make packing for a trip easier. Create and save your packing lists on your computer when you are planning a big trip. Then, whenever you are packing, you can print out a list and check off the items you usually need.
Vanilla is a great scent to mask odors in the fridge. Pour vanilla extract on a cotton ball and place in a small bowl inside the fridge.
Thanks Megan for this tip!
Have over-ripe bananas and don't know what to do with them? Put them in the freezer, peel and all. They freeze well and are easy to add to banana bread after thawing.
Try using baskets in the kitchen to keep small things together. It’s so much easier to take out a basket and set it on the counter than to have to take out several individual items.
Thanks to Amy for sending in this tip!
Use a large plastic bucket to store children’s plastic toys. Drill several drainage holes in the bottom of the bucket, and you can wash the toys in the bathtub or outdoors with the hose
Place a paper towel or napkin with fresh produce when storing it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. The paper absorbs moisture and helps produce last longer.

Consider having a clothing exchange with your friends. Gather up all your old
