Once downloaded, you can use the camera on your phone to scan product barcodes around stores.

Another quick way to cut costs is by visiting at the right time.

You can use paper towel tubes and toilet paper tubes in your garden, according to a tip from Family Handyman. Save the tubes and cut them into two-inch lengths before placing them in a waterproof tray. Then simply fill the tubes with potting soil and start planting your seeds. According to the site, when you're ready to move them into the garden, they can be planted right in the tubes and, because it's cardboard, they'll decompose organically.
