Cashed strapped Americans are finding ways to save a buck these days. Cost saving measures including traveling less, eating out less, and engaging in less self-indulgent spending practices. The stock of a few companies as a result has skyrocketed. In the short term at least, investing in dollar stores and low-budget stores seems to be the trend. Pasta, a college student staple, has found its way on the dinner tables of penny saving Americans across the country.

Still, another trend in economically tough times is the usage of coupons, which has seen a 90% increase of usage since the recession began. One great site for getting coupons is FatWallet. This site has online coupons that you print out and bring to the store. Not just grocery stores however, Wal-mart, Best-Buy, Home Depot, amongst many others (over 2500 stores) are represented.
