Saving Tip #1

If you are looking to save money for your honeymoon, try using some of these tips.

Tip #1
RETURN TO THE COOKIE JAR
Here's a simple, yet effective way of putting aside some significant "pocket change", especially if your honeymoon plans are a year or more away. Every time you get change from a purchase, place the change in a cookie jar or other large container. Continue to collect this money over the course of a year. And when you are ready to use it . . . sort it, wrap it, and cash it in for bills.

I've used this simple method for years to help pay for our family vacations. It is amazing how much money (just in change) can pile up over the course of a year.

My personal best: I saved some $350 one year for our family vacation. Not exactly chump change! That little nest egg paid for our gasoline round trip, and a couple of nights lodging.

Don't sneeze at the cookie jar and don't raid it! Just keep saving.
