Greetings Thrifty Friends,

It doesn't take a financial planner to figure out that the best way to save money is to spend less of it. You can hunt for discount, use coupons, or if you know where to look you can find a lot of products and services for free. That is about the best discount you can get.

Please scroll down for some examples.

Keep pinchin' those pennies,
Penny
