Money Saving Tips- Part Six

1) Travel with a watter bottle.

Airport security will let you pass if it's empty. Just fill it at a water fountain after the security checkpoint. It beatspaying $5 for a liter bottle at a gift shop. Savings: $10 per round trip.

2) For some meds, skip your insurance.

Ask your pharmacist about the retail price of your prescription; it might be cheaper to pay that price. For example, the diabetes medication Metformin costs about $4 fo ra month's supply, while the average copay is $11. Savings: $7

3) Use a carrier on top of your car?

Remove it whenever possible. It can reduce gas mileage by as much as 25 percent. That's a three gallon waste per fill-up, or about $8 in gas.

4) Use gas advantage programs. 

Many procery store chains, inclouding Safeway, and Kroger, let you earn a discount at select stations. At 10 cents a gallon, that's $5.20 after four typical fill-ups.

5) Reveal your age!

Ask restaurants if they have a seniro discount. At 15 percent off, you'd save $7.50 on a $50 dinner for two.
