Saving money isn't as habit-forming as potato chips, but it can become a steady part of your diet. As you hone your saving skills, you'll find ways to save more money and spend less time doing it. Sure, you can clip coupons to save 50 cents on a gallon of ice cream. But a few hours comparison shopping for a new refrigerator or car could save hundreds of dollars.

Why think small? Spending a little time finding the best mortgage rate could save you thousands of dollars.
