Photo Contest Winner
Rain Barrels for Practically Free
By Wanda from Climax, NC
What we really liked about this tip was that they were able to ask around and get the barrels for free. There are a lot of
items that are thrown out, especially by businesses, that can be
useful for many purposes. It never hurts to ask.

Start Your Own Frugal Club
By Leslie from Brandon, MS
With rising food and gas costs, it's a great time for people to
band together and save. Creating clubs that operate on a local
scale can be a great way to look ways to save that will work
where you live.
Young Teen Birthday Party Ideas
By Crystal from Branson, MO
Crystal clearly worked hard on this one. She has lots of
wonderful ideas for teens and all of the ideas can be done cheaply if you plan ahead.
Recipe Contest Winner
Berry Freezer Jam
By Margaret from Denton, Texas
Berries are expensive and can't be stored for long. This recipe is a great way to make use of them before they go bad. It's also a great option for making use of berries you grow in the garden.
