Original or not so much...

I stole this. But I just came across it in my email and thought "ha! That's a lot of pennies, I'll put that on the blog!" So here it is, taken from Dotti's Newsletter, and she took it from Redbook!

What YOU could SAVE in a year IF YOU…
Eat dinner out twice a month instead of once a week: $1080

Get a pedicure ($25.00) once a month instead of twice a month: $300
Color your hair every six weeks at home ($10.00) instead of a salon ($75): $560
