5 Great Ways to... Save $5 a Week

 
  By Jillian Rowley • Appearing at Womansday.com

When it comes to saving money, every little bit counts. Any one of these tips will help you add a little bulk to your wallet. Want to save more than $5? Adopt a couple of these suggestions.
 
 
 
  • Organize a soup-and-sandwich swap at work. Make the first lunch and share it with your coworker. Next time, she can do the cooking.
  • Most people don’t even think twice about the coffee they buy each morning, or the soda they pick up in the afternoon. But, if you brew your own coffee and buy your own sodas in bulk at the supermarket, you’ll save.
  • Even if it requires going a little bit out of your way, use your own bank’s ATM. At another bank, you could be charged up to $3 for the convenience!
  • You probably have a pile of change in the bottom of your bag, in your glove compartment or in a jar somewhere. Take the time to cash it in—it can really add up.
  • When your favorite shampoo is on sale, stock up. Otherwise, consider keeping a generic shampoo next to your favorite, more expensive brand. Swap back and forth between the two.
