Everyone is looking to save money these days, but it's tough to decide where you should focus your attention. Whether you're clipping coupons, investigating a lower insurance rate, or looking to cut some entertainment expenses, finding a way to spend less money is never easy.

Rather than searching for the best way to save money, why not look for savings where other people are finding it? The following list shows the top three money savings tips for August, 2005 as measured by the popularity of pages at ManageYourDollars.com.

Tip 1: Find the cheapest gas

With the recent spike in fuel and gasoline costs, it is no surprise that people are looking to reduce the amount of money they are spending on gas. Fortunately, the internet has made finding cheap gas easier than ever before.

Tip 2: Online Coupons

The increase in gas prices effects more than just the price we pay at the pump. Unfortunately, delivery companies are also hit hard by the gas price increase, and they pass this cost down to us! This increase in grocery prices have forced people to look for ways to alleviate the added costs. Clipping coupons from the Sunday paper is one way, but printing coupons from your computer is much easier. Online coupon sites let you search their coupons so you don't waste time looking at coupons that don't interest you. Online coupon sites save both time and money, making them a very popular money saving tip.

Tip 3: Discount Restaurant Gift Certificates

It's always nice to get out of the house and go out to eat, but we all know that it can also get very expensive! However, some sites on the internet allow you to buy gift certificates for your favorite restaurants for less than half price. Usually the gift certificates have terms, such as you have to spend at least $30 or you can't use more than one at a time, but it's a great deal if you can find one for a restaurant that you frequent!
