There are some ideas in the going green thread but it's purpose isn't necessarily to save money but some of the ideas do save money.

Well, right now we could put it in "Make It Easy" or "Try This" section here. But, that's really a great idea to have a separate "room" (is that what they're called?) just for frugal tips. Right now, they're kind of all over the place.

lINDA is right, the ideas under the green forum is somewhat the same. But like you said Lisa, Frugal tips are a bit different. What to do what to do.

Maybe we could make a suggestion to MJ to add that like they did the "Hogs and Quiches" room not too long ago.

Great minds think alike. I hadn't thought of it for a forum topic but NIFTY THRIFTY is on our next magazine front cover. As soon as Gabe and Carol get in, I'll see if we can add it as a category. I will let you know!

Wow, MaryJane, you're really on top of things! We just barely made the suggestion and there you are, ready to run with it. Cool!

What a great idea! It would be so helpful to get ideas especially the way things are right now with economy seemingly scary. Every little bit helps!

Life should NOT be a jounrey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming. "WOOHOO, what a ride!"
