Every so often, you run across a deal you just can’t help but tell everyone about. It goes something like this:

Savvy person: Holy moly! Have you heard about the great deal at our favorite store?

Friend: No, I have not. What is it?

Savvy person: It’s only the best thing that’s ever happened! Hop in my car right now and I’ll show you what I mean!

It’s just part of being a charitable soul: if you know about something awesome, you spread the word. For me, the most recent example is www.utahdealdiva.com. I’ve been telling all my friends and family about this site, which, perfectly enough, is all about finding and sharing information about excellent deals that will save you money.

Jessica, the “deal diva” herself, is dedicated to finding the best deals in Utah and passing them along to you. I’ve been working with her lately on a giveaway (which you can totally enter, by the way), and let me tell you: this woman is on top of her game.

I’m pleased to feature Utah Deal Diva as the first official Blog We Love. More will be introduced in the coming weeks! Do you know of a blog we should consider featuring? Do you want to share a blog like this that promotes deals in your area? Leave a comment, friend!

Lately it seems like the more money our family makes the less we have at the end of the month. I know this defies logic, but I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this boat. I remember the good old days when we were poor and yet able to save a lot of money. Most unfortunately, our savings trend has decreased as our income has increased.

In my current state of acknowledging the need to save more and spend less—much less—I have decided to utilize a few highly recommended money-saving resources.

Luckily, it seems there are many others out there just like me. We all want to save money, but we need an injection of know-how. Even luckier, there are a few treasured people out there who are willing to share their money saving tips for free!

To date, the most comprehensive money saving resource I’ve found is Pinching Your Pennies. At www.pinchingyourpennies.com you can find a myriad of money saving tools like coupon lists, grocery deals, and online discount codes.

The thing I love most about this site is that much of it functions in a member-helping-member way. There are countless postings from members that advertise the best deals around town. Everyone on this site is happy to share their best coupon and money saving advice, which is nice for those of us who are just beginning to venture into the world of coupon clipping and bargain shopping.

If you are anything like me, saving more equals a happier household. As I turn toward the world of penny pinching, I urge anyone else in need of a spending overhaul to do the same. I would also like to thank the gold-hearted members of Pinching Your Pennies for sharing their saving advice so liberally.
