Original, beautiful photos that you can hang up in your house may seem like an expensive idea exclusively for the rich, right? Not necessarily. A good place to find great pictures is your local photography club, where nonprofit groups hold juried exhibitions and award prizes for best photos. These gallery-quality pieces can be purchased for a song and give your walls great style.

Auto delivery programs were designed to make our lives easier: Every 30 or 60 days, lotions, cookies and whatever else you love arrive at your front door. But these products pile up over time, with boxes going unopened. Slowly, yet surely, you have a bit of a cluttered situation on your hands. Go ahead and cancel all of these delivery services and just buy things when you need them.
