Saving money can be as simple as just collecting money in a jar-jar at the end of the day, but there are countless other ways to trim costs here and there, without stopping your life!

The website Consumerist.com has culled over 100 suggestions in the form of comments from its forums and put them in one long post! Some of the highlights:

• WORSHIP THE COINJAR (Eds. Note - Great minds, eh?) Collecting change is a good way. We saved up enough change to buy our Wii. The next thing we spent change on was a ski trip (paid for hotel stay.) Right now we have over $100 in our change bag from the last 9 months or so.
• RICE IS NICE - Cook with Rice - rice is a great side dish or filler for almost any meal and it is VERY cheap it's also very healthy. If you do this on a regular basis a rice cooker may be a good investment as most double as vegetable steamers as well (vegetables are also great to buy in bulk frozen).
• LEARN TO SEW - Learn basic sewing - Doesn't have to be anything fancy just some needle and thread to sew on buttons or repair small tears along seams.

These are just three ways that you can cut down on some of your daily spending. The best thing about rice is that you can flavor it with anything, and it makes a fantastic substantial addition to any entree.

Speaking of Jar-Jar's, I have saved approximately $5 in mine this week. How much have you saved in yours? Leave it in the comment section!
