There are still 4+ months left in 2010 so still time to do some home improvements for the tax credits if you need to. If you need a roof, water heater or several other improvements, they are included. I found a good list with guidelines here.
There are lots of ways to save on home improvements. If you already have the cash in savings, great. Put it somewhere to gain interest for 6-18 months, and try to find a “No payments for 18 months” type of deal. Just make sure you pay it off! The interest rates on those deals can be atrocious.
At the very least, if you do an internet search on Lowe’s or Home Depot coupons, you can usually find one for 10%.
