It's true: Organic food at the supermarket can cost more. But that doesn't mean you can't find great deals and save money with a little old-fashioned coupon clipping. The website allnaturalsavings.com has "clippable" coupons to help you save on organic groceries from national brands. At the time this "Do Just One Thing" tip was written, the site offered money-saving coupons for organic baby food, coffee, snacks, beauty products, eggs and more. In fact, there were over 100 coupons for brands that are easy to find at your local store.

Beauty products can still be useful in new and different ways well after they've been used up or expired. A clean mascara brush, for example, can be used to scrub between stones in jewelry or watch links to clear away dirt and debris. Unwanted nail polish (perhaps a color not to your liking) can be used to "paint" the stems of wine glasses to give them personality and color. And lipstick that broke can be melted in a microwave-safe dish for 20 seconds, then poured into a clean tin (think small mint tin) and applied to the lips with a brush or fingertips.

Even in an age of digital reading, printed books are still in demand and can be donated if you're ready to make room on your bookshelf at home. The rule of thumb for donating books is this: If the book was published three years ago or less, donate it to your local library, which will resell the book at a fundraiser to raise money for its valuable work. If the book is older, donate it to a Salvation Army or Goodwill store, which will resell the book in-store. Either way you donate your books, be sure to get a receipt for tax-deduction purposes.
