For decades, I’ve been collecting and disseminating timesaving and money-saving tips. Readers email them to me, comment with them on my website at EverydayCheapskate.com, hand them to me on little scraps of paper and even send them in the mail. Some are hilarious, others downright weird. And the very best ones show up in this column. Thousands have made it into my books under the titles “Tiptionary” and “Cheaper, Better, Faster.”

I will admit that not all of my favorite tips could single-handedly turn a person’s financial situation from red to black or free up hours every day.
