•	The tip with the highest average at the end of the month earns the tipster $100!
•	Tiffany Rodi, of Cumming, Ga., won $100, for her tip, which was rated No. 1 by Bankrate readers last month. For more information on this tip and its author, read our interview with the Frugal $ense contest winner.
	Winning tip: Turn odds and ends into TV gold "Want to save $100 per month? Disconnect your cable or satellite. We built an HD antenna for free using plans from the Internet. The television reception is now clearer as all channels are in HD and we can get at least a dozen channels. The other benefit is we spend more time reading, exercising, playing games and talking, and less time watching TV. It didn't cost us anything and we save at least $1,200 a year -- enough for a vacation!"
