This time of year I am all over new ways to save money. I make a game out of it with the kids. If they can lower the power bill by $10.00 I will buy a pizza, $5.00 I will ad movie ect. There are a lot of things you can do to make a difference. Even if it is a small change, it all ads up and you could end up saving a lot!

While exploring on-line today I found a helpful sight to save money on car insurance. They have 12 tips that can make a difference on your premium. I provided a link here so you could go right there and see if any of these tips will make a difference on your bottom line.

I host a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class at my church. In our small groups, I always hear great ideas. One family made it the job of the kids to clip coupons for items they regularly shop for. The parents reward the couponer 50% of the savings. Its a great way to get the whole family involved.

Dinah,

Good tips. I didn't know that the insurance would cover the sales tax. Even they don't in my state I would ask for it. Hope I don't need it though.

A great way to lower your electricity bill is to put a timer on the hot water heater and replace all regular light bulbs with flourescent (I don't know how to spell that) bulbs.

I love your idea about getting the kids involved!!!
