Oh Im glad Im not the only one that does this.. I just took all the quarters out of my stash and I had almost 90.00 of quarters so it works well for savings (we only started saving like 5 months ago)..

Lets see cheap things we do: We don't buy anything till the last day that way we get exactly what we want and aren't tempted to get something later on. We brings drinks and snacks into the park with us instead of buying things there. If there are outlets nearby we will look there for things. We get pins when they are on sale for cheap (less then 2.00 a pin usually). When we went as a family we made T-shirts for everyone so we could tell our family apart from the crowd. We buy ponchos, fans etc from Walmart before we go. We get one counter service meal and split it..

We don't do anything I would consider tacky.. I don't reuse mugs. I don't bring ice chests with full meals into the park with us. I just do things that I don't see a problem with.. (sorry if it offends anyone but I just wouldn't feel right doing it..)
