Share your savings tips and stories for a chance to compete for weekly and month-end prizes.
I hear ya. In this economy, most folks long ago adopted popular methods such as couponing to stretch their dollars farther. But I know from experience that there are probably a few money-saving measures you haven't thought of yet. In fact I'll go a step further and bet you those dollars to donuts that there are some simple, relatively painless things you can do right now to start saving even more. Some of them are so easy you might say you can't help but "fall into them." That's the goal of our Savings Challenge, starting Monday, Oct. 1. Throughout this four-week contest, we'll be sharing tips, tricks and other ideas that anyone can use to trim spending without resorting to a diet of bread and water and living in a constant state of deprivation. We'll be looking at how you can save by making small changes in the way you live, changes that you won't even notice once they're in place. We'll also focus on clever new ideas for saving on big-ticket items such as housing, transportation and insurance. Finally, we want to hear from you. Tell us about the creative ways you've saved money, no matter how off-the-wall they might be. We love crazy money-saving ideas! GK Hart/Vikki Hart/Getty Images Have the gift of thrift? Then join our savings challenge where your money saving tips could help win you a prize. Each Monday during the Savings Challenge we're going to be issuing a Weekly Challenge in our in which we'll invite you to share your savings tips and stories. You'll have the chance to compete for weekly and month-end prizes based on your participation in the group, your creative money-saving tips and your enthusiasm for saving money. At the end of the challenge we'll be declaring three overall winners who will win cash gift cards of $500, $1,000 and $2,000. You have to be at least 21 years old to enter. Be sure to read our and learn how to on Oct. 1. You'll be able to track your savings during the month using our and you'll be able to see how much you are saving each day. The green Savings Tracker is also where you will opt in to the contest. I hope you'll join me for this special "Fall into Savings" Savings Challenge and participate in the weekly challenges.
