7 New Year's Savings Resolutions for 2010

Another year is drawing to a close and with that comes another set of New Year's Resolutions. We make them every year, yet most of us never stick to them. That's why my resolution for 2010 is to make a resolution and stick to it. It's bad luck to tell someone what your resolution is so I'll keep that part a secret. I will give you a hint, however. It's one of the 7 New Year's Savings Resolutions listed below. They're in no particular order, just 7 ideas for you to think about for 2010. I wish you the best of luck in keeping your resolutions next year! Here they are:

1. Save on gym costs. Workout at home. If you can afford the upfront cost of a home gym it'll save you a lot of money down the road versus a gym membership. Price compare and look for deals on older models. Check out places like Workout Warehouse for great deals on top brands like Proform and NordicTrack. Bowflex is another great brand. Just be patient and wait for a coupon to be offered from them.
2. Save on weightloss. Do it online. One of the most popular weight loss programs around is Weight Watchers. Did you know that you can do it online? By doing so, you can save 25% versus their regular program.
3. Save on energy. Become more energy efficient. I've dedicated a whole section of CouponShack.com to being more energy efficient. Just check out the Go Green section for some really helpful tips on saving money and being more energy efficient.
4. Save on insurance. Review your Insurance Policies. Now is the best time to look at all your insurance policies. If you have too much coverage, scale it back. If you haven't combined your insurance policies, try doing so as many insurance companies offer a discount for this. If it makes sense, raise your deductible. Finally, shop around. See if you're really getting the best deal. Check out sites like InsureMe where you can get a free insurance quote from multiple providers.
5. Save on your expenses. Manage your personal finance. Check out some of the free tools offered by Quicken. They recently acquired Mint.com which offers tons of free personal finance tools. Buy the full version and it integrates seamlessly with TurboTax.
6. Save on tax preparation and filings. Do it yourself. If you can, try doing your taxes yourself this year. Sites like TurboTax and H&R Block really make it easy to do it yourself. Heck, if it's just a simple return, TurboTax will do it for free!
7. Save on purchases. Become a coupon clicker. Make a more conscience effort to look for coupons first before making a purchase. Even if you already use coupons to some degree, take a moment and re-evaluate what you are doing. See if you can develop better coupon habits. Monitor your favorite stores or brands for coupons. Pull the trigger on the purchase when a coupon is available. If you don't have a CouponShack.com account, sign up for one and let us monitor the coupons and deals for you!
