helping each other out!

so i frequent another forum every onee and while. its a "frugal living" forum and gives some of the most awesome tips--- cool coupon codes that we found, "secret" sales at certain stores or promotions. they also do cool "challenges" like "silver jar" challenge where each person gives a guideline and challenges THEMSELVES. for example if i say okay in 2 months i will save 300.00 in silver change (believe me, i have seen it on the website) then i stick myself to it.. seeing other people doing it on the site motivates others. they also give themselves things like grocery challeneges - like i will feed my family this week on 25$ each a week- so a family of 4 needs to eat on 100.00 or less *i know that for kids its a little less per person*

anyways.. i know we are a close knit group here so i was thinking if anyone is interested in keeping each other motivated... we should start some different threads.. hope you dont mind brandi and other MODS - im going to start another thread for "coupon codes and savings" - i have a couple coupon codes i want to pass along that i have been using alot lately

Hey I'm a member of a forum like that too ... wonder if it's the same? I'm absolutely into frugal living, not wasting, finding bargains!

You have to find the one for your area. As far as I know they are all Yahoo! groups. The main freecycle page should help you, where it has an area to search for local groups.

I've given away a lot more than I've found on it, but it's a good site.
