Time is money, so presumably a time-saving tip is also a money-saving tip. Let me share my favorite:

Being an office worker and a blogger, I spend at least a couple of hours everyday using Internet Explorer alone, and here is my best kept secret: visiting your favorite web sites by typing only a letter or two.

You may already know you can add your favorite sites (like PFBlog) to your favorite folder, but you may not know you can assign a shortcut to each favorite folder entry. Here is how you can access PFBlog.com by just typing the letter "p" and hit "Enter":

- Go to http://www.pfbog.com/.
- Use menu Favorites | Add To Favorites to add PFBlog to your favorite folder
- You will be prompted for a name (default is "PFBlog.com - The Unique Personal Finance Weblog"), change it to "p".
- Click "OK" to add it to your favorites folder.
- Now, the next time you want to visit PFBlog, go to the area where you type URL, type "p" and press "Enter". Are you seeing PFBlog loading?

I am using this trick extensively for all my favorites, and here is the incomplete list:

p - PFBlog
m - MSN Money
j - WSJ
sm - SmartMoney
ki - Kiplinger
bw - BusinessWeek
yh - Yahoo! Money

citi - Citicard
pro - Providian
mbna - MBNA credit card
amex - American Express
ed - EmigrantDirect
vb - VirtualBank
ing - ING Direct
td - TreasuryDirect

fi - Fidelity
401 - 401(k)
at - Ameritrade
scot - Scottrade

Is this helpful?

P.S. I tested on FireFox but cannot figure out how to get it work (admittedly, I didn't spend much time on it). If you can make it work, be sure to add a comment.
