The Dollar Stretcher... frugal living tips. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (1741)   ranked 192 out of 2,771 in frugal living4 months ago

I'm always looking for a cheaper way to do things: shopping, traveling, etc. I've been this way most of my life.

Years ago, I found a great site called "The Dollar Stretcher". I get weekly ezines with some really great money-saving tips and have used quite a few of them.

The site address is: http://www.stretcher.com/... . You don't have to subscribe if you go there, but this page in particular has all the information about the site. This is not a referral thing, so you don't have to sign up under me if you choose to join.

They send you weekly emails with great money-saving tips. And, if you have a tip that they haven't covered, you can send it in and they will post it in one of their weekly ezines.

I think it's a great site and, with today's economy, every little bit helps! That's why I felt it necessary to share with my fellow myLotters who are looking for ways to live better in today's economy.

Take a peek. It just might help you. It sure has helped me!

Hi,

Thanks for the link. I am a true believer in the phrase..."it is not what you earn..it is what you spend" Because of that I try to save money wherever I can. If I can find fugal tips I will take them without a doubt. Lots of good tips here.

Thanks,

:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (1741)   ranked 192 out of 2,771 in frugal living  4 months ago

I'm glad I could help! This site has saved me a lot of money from the great tips they give. It's one email I read every week as soon as I get it.

Take care and happy saving!

cher913, the post right after yours has a good suggestion. Do a search for 'Frugal living'. I had never thought of that!

Thanks for the link. The hubby and I are both penny pincher's. We sort of have to be. (4 kids and 1 income.)I've been going to http://www.thriftyfun.com/ for a long time now.
We are bad enough that when we go to Disney in April we are planning on camping half of the time we are there to avoid spending so much on hotels. I also use Memolink if I'm shopping online. You get points for every dollar you spend at the stores if you use the links on their site. I figure if I'm buying it anyways I may as well get paid. Points turn into a lot of stuff including $. I's a great way to make your shopping dollars work for you. If anyone wants to join message me and I'll be happy to send an invite (I'll get points for the referral).


myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (1741)   ranked 192 out of 2,771 in frugal living  4 months ago

That reminds me of another site that is very similar to Memolink. It's called MyPoints. It's a PTC site (non-timed), but they also have contests and a whole bunch of stores linked to them. If you buy something through MyPoints, you get points which you can either spend on other stores or get gift cards from any of a ton of stores. I'd give you the link, but it seems I'm having trouble opening up a new tab so I can't look it up. sad I'll send it to you later when my computer's better (gonna get hubby to work on it), if you want. But I think it's called MyPoints.com. Simply that. If you sign up under me, I would get between 100 and 250 points, depending on their promotion at the time, but I'm really not here to make money off of people, so you can go there on your own and sign up, if you want to. Or you can message me and I'll send you the invite.

I'm going to check out the links you mentioned. They sound interesting! Thanks!


myLot reputation of 92/100. freedomg (524)  4 months ago

When you get a chance send me a link. I love helping others get a little extra when I can and it sounds like a great site. I'll compare the sites to see who has the highest point value for each store before making the purchase. I think it will help me out a lot. happy

thanks so much for this. i signed up and i do sign up for lots of things like this lately. the economy has really knocked us all for a loop.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (1741)   ranked 192 out of 2,771 in frugal living  4 months ago

Yep, it sure has. I believe we're heading toward a depression and it's pretty scary! We need to do what we can to keep our heads afloat!

I'm glad I could help, even if it's just a little bit.
