  • Save your change!

    I'm sure you have all heard this many times, but I just can't stress it enough. If you find a penny on the sidewalk, grab it. If you go to McDonalds and and buy something cheap, keep the change! The greatest is when you have a friend who says they hate carrying around change. Simply ask them for it, and a lot of the time, they'll hand it over. There was one week where I made $20 in just change. It seems silly but most people overlook it, so save the change!

    This is more a way to save money, rather than to make money.

      I believe that a proper budgeting plan and cutting off unnecessary expenses can be a better way to save money.

        Well I got a very different approach. I collect all the changes and save it in a sort of piggy bank. That make me to buy some shirts or even I was able to pay my phone bill (once though). So, it is working quiet well till now for me.

          We've been doing that for my son's piggy bank over here.

          Anytime he sees change laying around I have him pick it up and add it to his piggy bank. It certainly does add up quick!

            I used to save change when I used to go out to lunch. I used to throw my change in a jar. I averaged $40-50 a month without any effort. I take my lunch to work now and have for nearly 40 years. You can save even more by bagging your lunch.
