A local TV station had a story about Unclaimed Property. I didn't think we had any but I looked up all the names in our family and sure enough. My name came back as having money waiting for me.
I filled out the forms and today I got a check for $15.37. Not a lot of money but for 42 cent postage stamp and a little time, it's gas money. :)
Make sure you check your state's unclaimed property lists, you never know what you might find!

Getting bargins!!
I just wanted to share my thoughts on getting a good deal.
1. Good deals are only good if you do it honestly. Don't try to use a coupon or a deal that is known to be fraudulent. We all make mistakes, but by knowingly getting a fradulent deal, you are ruining the repuations of couponers everywhere!
2. Stockpiling. It's great to stockpile, but if you buy 40 toothpastes and leave none for other couponers, you are being selfish. When I stockpile, I buy what I can use for 6 to 9 months ( a typical sale cycle), if I end up getting more then I can use, I donate the items to the homeless shelter, the food pantry, our local church or the animal shelter. Share and give, don't be SCROOGE!!
3. Be Polite. When I get in line at the store, with a fist full of coupons, I will let the poor guy behind me go if he has only 2 things in his hands. Remember this is a hobby and a savings, again, you can easily ruin the perspective of the people you are trying to win over to saving money!!

Hi! I just saw an article about this in Reader's Digest, you are so on par with saving money. Here's the site to find your state, look up each place you have lived! http://www.unclaimed.org/
Also, look up your relatives and let them know! I looked up my grandma's name and sure enough she's got money, so I'll tell her!
