(i) Get a New Savings Account - automate your savings contribution
With a new savings account you won't immediately see your savings grow, however over time, a new savings account can yield a higher return on your contribution. Shop different banks and read consumer reviews.

(ii) Shop Healthcare Providers - seek out no co-pay for preventative care
Many healthcare providers are beginning to waive co-pay fees when the insured is seeking preventative care. This is to save both the insured and the insurance company money in the long-run by treating illnesses and diseases early.
(iii) Get Rid of Your Old Appliances - unplug and power down appliances while not in use
Old appliances eat away at your electric bill. If you can afford to take advantage of the government's Cash for Appliances program, you may be able to save a great deal on new appliances; however, if you can't afford this option, make sure unused appliances are unplugged.
(iv) Open A Traditional IRA - take a moment to compare traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs
People who may be facing a higher tax bracket may be able to reduce their tax liability by opening a traditional IRA. Be sure to consult a tax professional prior to opening either a Roth or traditional IRA to learn about any tax benefits.
(v) Pick 10 Monthly Expenses to Cut Back On - no more premium coffee and eating out
This is an obvious but effective way to save money. Stop eating out as often, stop paying three dollars or more for a cup of coffee, buy your coffee and groceries and prepare them yourself to save a significant amount each month.
(vi) Shop Mobile Phone Providers - double check your contract terms
If you are nearing the end of your mobile phone contract, you may be able to save a lot of money by switching providers. Shop around for the best deals, but make sure you won't be in violation of your current agreement. If you are stuck in a contract, you may be able to save money by selecting a less expensive plan from your current provider.
(vii) Use Your Rewards Credit Card for Purchases - pay your card off in full each month
This tip is for responsible spenders only. The only way to benefit from using a rewards card for everyday purchases, is to make sure you pay the balance off in full each month. If you end up paying interest on the money used to make purchases, you won't benefit much at all.
(viii) Keep A Look Out for Good Deals - setup Google Alerts for notification
Every month there are a certain amount of everyday household items that we must purchase. The goal here is to find out who is offering those items at the best price. Use Google Alerts to get email notification, clip coupons, and visit your local grocery store's websites to compare prices.
(ix) Save Money on Your Commute - look to carpool or use public transportation
If you have a colleague or two you work with that lives near to you, try to arrange a carpool. Or if you can, take public transportation and save yourself a great deal of money on gas and car maintenance costs.
(x) Create A Budget - try to save at least 10% of your monthly income
We've all heard this one before, but creating a budget and living by it can greatly reduce your monthly expenditures while helping you to put extra money into your savings. This is also a great time to sit back and start planning for future expenses, such as a college expense fund for your children and a retirement plan.
