1) Keep your tires inflated.
For every 5 psi of air pressure below normal, you lose 2 percent on gas milage. For a typical car, underinflated tires can waste roughlya gallon of gas each month (around $2.50)- plus you'll have extra wear on your tires.
2) Don't buy salon hair products for everyday usage
A brand-name conditioner is $23.94 online for 8.45 ounces. But, a store-brand conditionder found at a national chain works well too, at $3.42 for 10.2 fluid ounces. Savings: $2.49 per ounce.
3) Get reimbursed for ATM fees.
Most online banks and some traditional banks will reimburse you for fees incurred when you use another bank's ATM. But, you have to ask. That's an average of $4.57 per transaction.
4) Quit drinking soda.
Knock off a couple of two-liter bottles from your weekly shopping trip and drink water instead. You'll save roughly $120 each year.
5) Have a happy meal
Many bars and eateries offer discounts on appetizers during happy hour. For example, at a Del Frisco's Grille restaurant between 4-6p.m. on weekdays, cheesesteak eggrolls are $6 (normally $12.50). Share three such plates with a friend and save $19.50.
