You have always wanted to donate money to many causes, but you do not have the money to donate as much or often as you want, or you may not afford to donate at all. However, you CAN donate.

No, I am not just talking about time. (However, you can donate your time if you like). I am talking about labels and caps. Yes, labels and caps.

Many schools and some organizations may collect labels and caps to help raise funds. Check with your local schools.

There are many different kinds of labels that may be collected by those institutions. Here is a list of some labels and caps that accept collections from schools:

• Box Tops for Education
• Campbell's Labels for Education
• Nestle Pure Life Go Play!
• Nickels for Schools
• Save Five for Schools

Go ahead and search for other labels and caps programs as well. If you use these products and they are being accepted by your schools, be sure to follow the rules of how to collect them and donate as often as you can or want! This is way of donating generously without hurting your budget.

Ways to Save Money Using the Internet

The Internet is a valuable tool for any household looking to save money. This could be helpful for those who are on a tight or small budget. Although there are many ways you can save money by using the Internet, I will give you five ways to help you to get started.

1. Pay bills online. Not only could you avoid late fees and penalties, but you also save on gas money and the rising costs of stamps. It also takes seconds to pay online. You save time!
2. Utilize auction and store sites such as Ebay or Etsy. Often times, bidding always you purchase an item at a cheaper rate, however it could become more expensive than its worth. Do you homework to decide what are the best deals.
3. Using websites to print coupons. Sites like Coupons.com or Smartsource.com allows a visitor to print coupons that can be redeemed at stores. This saves you from buying the Sunday paper that carries those coupons. Another advantage is you can pick and choose which coupons you want.
   
4. A good website to bookmark is Froogle.com because you can compare prices of products that you are searching. I am sure there is other websites that do this, but Froogle specifically comes to mind.
