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.
