I do a lot of survey sites and mypoints-type sites and get free GCs and money that way. Even a check for $5.00 is worth it in my opinion, I'm on the internet anyway.
Freecycling is terrific, for both giving and receiving.
Make sure to actually eat the leftovers from dinner, either as dinner again or a snack for somebody.
I cook twice as much hamburger as i need and freeze half of it. This also saves me time in the kitchen.
i cut the feet off of blanket sleepers so they fit longer.
I rarely buy new clothes, for anybody except my DH as he is a very big guy and takes a hard to find size. between freecycle, goodwill and salvation army we make out great.
