24 Hours of Savings

If you usually sip a $3 Starbucks latte…

…swap it for a misto.
A misto (brewed coffee with steamed milk, as opposed to espresso with steamed milk) costs about $1 less per “tall” cup. If you prefer a stronger brew, order a short latte (50 cents cheaper), which has less milk but the same amount of espresso as a tall.

If you want something warm and sweet (but not necessarily caffeinated), try a tall steamed milk with a shot of flavored syrup, which is 50 cents less than a flavored espresso drink.

If you spend hundreds each year on driving and parking…

Carpool. Look for fellow riders in need online at eRideShare.com, a ride-sharing community.

Embrace public transit. To find the quickest route, go to hopstop.com (which covers metro areas) or Google Transit (google.com/transit). If you’re airport-bound, book a ride on Super-Shuttle (supershuttle.com), which provides affordable transport to and from 33 airports in 26 U.S. cities.

If you pay $1.50 for a daily newspaper…

…get your news from an online aggregator.
