Saving log - $4 tip box
Spending log - 2$ coffee, milk + $5 lunch
Collected my tip box squeezings and put them in the bank. $48. All told, since I've started slipping change and bucks into the tip box at work when I remembered, then sticking it in the bank once per month, I've saved about $1338 in two years. Its small, but the action is painless and its $1338 that I wouldn't have had.
My afternoon exercise bus passes right by a large North Seattle Goodwill, I've been in a couple of times. Every so often I talk to someone about the Goodwill - us frugal types somehow know each other... call it fru-dar - and I've discovered two things about my neighborhood Goodwill:
1.) Best general sales and the lowest markups are on Monday. Go on Monday if you want to buy big bags of stuff.
2.) The new electronics come out on Thursday, right before the weekend.

Oh, and I don't stand up on the bus.
