Money Saving Tips
Name:Saving Money For People Who Have Common Sense
Location:Ontario, Canada
About:This community is for people with common sense who want help saving money. Recipes, money saving tips, ideas for free/cheap things to do, cheap decorating, etc are all welcome here.

This community has moderated posting; if your post follows all the rules there'll be no problems having your post accepted

RULES:

The first & second time you break a rule, you'll be warned. The third time, you'll be banned.

1. NO REFERRAL POSTS, FREE IPODS, OR ANYTHING SIMILAR! Free samples also, even though they may be helpful, they often expire quickly or aren't available everywhere

2. NOTHING ABOUT CHILDREN! I realize that parents need to save money just as much as everyone else, but there are literally HUNDREDS of webpages that parents can get ideas at - I want the information in this community to be applicable to the largest number of people.

If you already have kids, here's some links where you can find help on saving money

Dollar Savers

Living On A Dime

Dollar Stretcher

Dollar Stretcher Readers Tips

All Things Frugal

3. NO POSTS ASKING WHERE YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION/THE CHEAPEST RATE/ETC...! This is something that is extremely specific & can only help a limited number of people. Google is your friend

4. NO POSTING JUST TO BRAG ABOUT SALES OR GREAT DEALS! If you're only posting to brag about the cheap book you found at a yard sale, or a great buy on pasta, save it for your own journal. Not everyone has the same sales as you.

5. NO SELLING SOMETHING! We're all trying to SAVE money here

6. NO GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEMES!!! Again, we're trying to save money, or change our lifestyles so we can spend less money. Not to mention, most get rich quick schemes are pure BS anyway

7. NO OFF-TOPIC POSTS! If you're starting your post with "this may be off topic, but..." then stop there & don't bother trying to post it. If what you're about to post doesn't have something about saving money in one way or another, than it doesn't belong here

I want this to be a friendly community - I realize the rules are a little strict, but I want people to be able to come, browse through, & find that around 85% of the posts are helpful to them in some way.


If you have a problem with the rules, you may want to find another community that isn't quite as strict with their postings - [info]poor_skills is an excellent community that allows a lot of the stuff [info]common_cents doesn't.
