100 of My Favorite Ways to Save Money!

Earlier this week I wrote my 100th post for this blog. In celebration, I thought that I would share 100 of my favorite ways to save money. Some of these are directly related to couponing while others are based on living frugally.

Some of these things I have discussed in my previous posts while the other items have inspired me to start a new series of posts. I had originally planned to have a brief description by each item until I realized that even a brief description would be overwhelming for a single post. I will leave you with my list for now. I hope that you will find it helpful and an encouragement to discover new ways to save money.
