Start saving for your child's education by buying groceries and dining out ?

Okay, sounds funny, right? Saving money for college by purchasing groceries, dining out, shopping at department stores? Does sound funny, but it's true. There's a free service called Upromise that will save a portion of the money (up to 8%) you spend on these things aside for you. They have a ton of partners, including:

• 600 online stores ( target.com, apple.com, sears.com, homedepot.com, etc)

How It Works:

1. Join Upromise. It's free. Register your grocery loyalty cards, credit cards, and other basic information that allows them to track your eligible spending
2. Shop for the participating products and services.
3. They will save a portion of your qualified spending for college automatically in your Upromise account.
