Saving Money Thread.....

[Ann]

I was thinking about how expensive everything has gotten and wondered if you would be interested in starting a thread where we could share our money saving ideas with each other? Anything from how to make your own cleaning products, low cost recipes, how to re-use something we might already have on hand, links to great coupons and freebies, etc.
