So what is one of your money grubbing secrets?
My personal money grubbing secret is to not buy things I want, but only need, and then ask for the wants as Christmas presents. For example, I love smelly soaps, but they’re expensive, so I buy the super cheap not nice ones. But for Christmas I ask for smelly ones.
This book sounds funny so pretty funny. I’ll have to chime in for a shot at it. My secret is that I love McDonald’s straws. Whenever I go I like to grab a huge handful of straws to take with me. I admit it.

i am a strictly clearance shopper and not just any clearance is good 75 percent off or better thanks
I take the clothes out of the dryer after they;ve been only a few minutes and I hang it all.
Go to Costco at lunchtime and make a meal out of all the freebies.
I use coupons whenever I can if you would consider that “money grubbing”…This looks like a great book that hopefully I could use some tricks to be cheaper yet…
If I like a product I let the company know it–and often I’m rewarded with great coupons (often for free merchandise)
I grab an extra set of plastic flatware when I get takeout and keep it in my office.
Oh gosh! I hate admitting all of this, but I’d love to win that book so here it goes… I ask for ketchup and BBQ packets when I go out, even though I have a large stash at home. I take plasticware with me from restaurants and use it as needed at home or at work. I don’t buy paper plates anymore because it’s much cheaper to just wash the real dishes. And lastly (and most disgustingly, I know), I don’t buy tampons to keep at home because my office stocks them in the ladies restroom. I just use them at work and then take one home with me. (Shhh… I could get in trouble for that one!) :-p

I cut coupons, and recycle plastic forks…
I make my own coffee, instead of going to Starbucks everyday. I also shop at thrift stores for clothing.
I reuse my ziploc bags
I take home the condiments that you get from fast food restaurants and use them instead of buying the full size version.

I cut the toothpaste tube open, when it is almost empty so that I can get a few more helpings.
Store brand, store brand, store brand. I’ve discovered that some store brands are infinitely better than the name brand items!
I get free samples of new grooming products from sample offers off the Internet. My resulting collection of mini toothpastes is great for air travel.
