This week’s Dollar Duo highlights America Saves Week, a week devoted to encouraging savings, no matter how big or small the amount.

John and I highlighted some of our favorite tips in the video. After it posted, I received a few tips from readers and loved Cathy G’s suggestion. Please share your own savings strategies too!

From Cathy: When i get home from the grocery store, i check my receipt for the total saved on coupons. i put that amount of cash into my savings account. the only exception is what i save from BOGOs because most of the time, those are items i wouldn’t have purchased except that they were two for the price of one. If i had a coupon for the purchased item, that does go into the account.

Since i am an avid coupon clipper, i usually save about 20% each week, which is $20 - $30/week into savings.
Seems painless.
