With the rising gas prices, perhaps more people than I are having to tighten the budget belt. I've haggled a deal at the Salvation Army and decided that Good Will's prices were too high. When I see a big yardsale, it's a real temptation. I've only been dumpster diving once. Just once.

I hope some others might be willing to share crazy stories of when you or someone you know did something weird to save money. Hey--maybe I'll get some new ideas!
