When asked how you pinch pennies these days?  Thousands of people responded…  Below are the top three.

1.   Quit idling “To save gas, UPS drivers plan their routes to avoid tie-ups at left turns.  So now I plot out my errands so I’m not zigzagging around.” — Sue Foster, Titusville, Florida

2.   Hoard your Lincolns “I tuck the $5 bills I get back in change in my favorite piggy bank.  At the end of the month I deposit them in my ‘$5 Account’ at the bank.   I’m able to save anywhere from $150 to $300 a month. It’s always a blessing to know that if an unexpected repair or expense comes up, you have a little stash to use instead of a credit card.” —  Janet Sinclair, Boston, Massachusetts

3.   Drive a search engine “I am very fond of Google Product Search, which lets you sort the results from low price to high.  And I have always saved a ton of money by buying on eBay.” — Teri Beahm, Cypress, Texas
