Poor in Minneapolis
Getting by on pennies.
Location:Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
About:This community is for those who are living in Minneapolis/St. Paul, considering moving to Minneapolis/St. Paul or are just interested in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

The original focus is on: The Working Poor and The Hardly Working. The idea is to offer a playground of information regarding assistance in getting by, information about advancing ones career and enjoying life more - with little to no money. However, people who do not consider themselves either of the above have shown interest in this community and I believe they can also contribute to the group.

Social Workers, Activists, Recent Entrepreneurs, Small Business Owners, Discount Shoppers, Students, Penny Savers, and others are also more than welcome to join the group if they believe they can add to the community objectives. :-) We can use all the help we can get! Keep in mind though that the original focus is still on: The Working Poor and The Hardly Working, therefore some posts might not apply to all.

Please, NO ADS or information about how you can get items "free" if you tell enough people. If you are passing along information about a great deal or special offer in the Twin Cities, that's great, but no "sign up here to get a free "whatever" posts. They will be deleted.

Please feel free to post advice and questions! If something doesn't work well within the community, myself or others will let you know.
