Pinch The Penny
As the women-of-the-house, we are responsible for a lot of money. I’m certain that all of us perform some (or all) of the following tasks:
- grocery shopping
- clothes shopping for ourselves and/or the whole family
- paying bills
- finding service providers for phone, internet, insurance etc.
Many of us are trying to stretch our dollars as far as they will go, to allow us to be home full-time with our children, work fewer hours outside of the home, or to be able to add extras into our budget, such as family vacations.
I recently found a website which can help save money in all of these areas.
Pinchthepenny.com is a consumer savings site designed to help their readers save more and spend less. To get started, they have a 6 Step Savings Plan which targets the areas which offer immediate savings including credit cards, home phone and cell service, insurance, and coupons.
They also have links to stores offering free shipping and weekly deals.
We each have areas in which we might be able to compromise or change our providers if we knew it would save us some money. Why not check out Pinchthepenny.com to see if you can create some wiggle-room in your budget?

another great site is http://www.mint.com I found it from this month’s Self Magazine. It links all your accounts and shows you where youre spending your money by using pie charts.
