Here are five tips that people of any income level can implement right from their own home:

Through respected companies like Dollars4Gold.com, those looking to pay the astronomical grocery bill or fill the tank can sell their stash of broken, unwanted (ex-boyfriend's jewelry!) or out-of-style jewelry. Plus, you don't have to waste gas shopping around for the best price.
Forget about clipping coupons - now you can print them...
The abundance of coupon Web sites is a good source of savings and is as simple as click and print.
