Help, I need to save money! Now what???

Being a naturally frugal person, I hear people say things like this all the time.  "Couponing is too much work?" or "Who has time for all that clipping and running from store to store?" While these are good intentioned individuals they are making the number one mistake, getting overwhelmed.  My suggestion is always the same to beginners, start small and work in as many tips as you can.  If you know you spend $5 every morning for your liquid energy from Starbucks, start with trimming that.  Perhaps for you skipping the coffee would be a fate worse than death, but maybe you could opt to have it every other day or look at purchasing discount gift cards to stretch that dollar.  Either way, you've saved and you can feel good about taking the first step in the right direction.  Happy saving!
