I was just thinking-wondering?

Is there anything that we can buy that would actually save us money?


example replace a real dirty air filter will give us better MPG, but how long far do we have to drive so the better MPG out weigh the cost of a new filter. LED lighting uses less juice but with the high cost I calculated it would take me 22 years to save over a CFL in my brick & stick house

So in short what are the best saving purchases that we can realisticly see a savings in the shortest payback time?

    along those same lines every Monday we take all of the $1 bills we've accumulated during the past week and set them aside. it adds up fast.
