Random ways to save money

With the holidays coming up I've been looking at random ways to save money. Someday I'll look into random ways to make money like franchise opportunities. I came across a post about 100 little steps to save money. They include hints like turning off the TV so you don't see ads. I know a family who only lets their kids watch pbs so they won't ask for so many toys. I doubt I will try to cut my own hair though. I tried it once when I was four & it didn't go over so well. Here are some random ways that I'm cutting costs.

  • I swap books, cds & dvds instead of buying them.
  • I try to run all of my errands at once so I don't spend so much gas going back & forth.
  • I organized my closet & discovered items of clothing that I hadn't seen in awhile. It was like going shopping for free & everything was my size.
  • I've been buying a few Christmas presents every month when I find really good deals. This way I won't have the burden of buying everything at once.

What are some random ways that you are saving money?
