A Magazine About Saving Money?

by

My sister is always looking to help save me money. On Sunday, she gave me clipped coupons for things she knows I use daily (I saved $10, thanks Nicole!). She also mentioned a magazine dedicated to saving money and thought I might talk about it here.

The magazine is called ‘All You – Enjoy Life for Less’.

While I have never seen a hard copy of the magazine, I took some time to visit their website. They offer tips on making low cost meals, budget shopping, fitness (all workouts you can do from home), and coupons, coupons, coupons!

On the home page, they list the top coupons for the day. On the day I was browsing the site (Easter Sunday), Bear Naked Granola & Lean Cuisine were offering great deals.

Even if you can’t afford a subscription, check out the site at http://www.allyou.com/ for some great tips.

Census Spending…

by

I saw the $2.5 million census ad during the super bowl. I received BOTH census reminder mailers – one before I received the actual census and one after. I’ve seen dozens of commercials and just as many billboards along the freeway and in my community.

According to the Census Director, this flood of advertising will save money (see: http://blogs.census.gov/2010census/2010/02/why-use-advance-letters.html and http://blogs.census.gov/2010census/2010/02/2010-census-ad-campaign-positioned-to-save-taxpayers-millions.html)

I’ve read the reasons and I know how I feel but…

What do you think?

Waste of money? Or saving money?
