Idea for reducing expenses

Steve · 05-23-2009, 08:38 AM

Hey everybody! I'm new to this forum, though I've been living frugally for many years.

A few months ago, I was reading Richard Carlson's book "Don't Worry, Make Money" and I was particularly inspired by a couple chapters on sharing and reducing expenses. I am a hobbyist web programmer familiar with many new web technologies and concepts that I thought would be a perfect match for traditional concepts of cost sharing, fractional ownership, bulk purchases and collective bargaining.

Anyway, I decided to try to create something to benefit myself and some friends. What I ended up with was something pretty useful that could potentially benefit others as well. Who to invite first? The online frugal community!

Of course it's totally free. If anyone is interested in trying it out please send me a message with your email so I can send you an invite code through the site.

I hope it was ok to post this here. This is a hobby project and I hope others will benefit from it as much as I've enjoyed creating it. Thanks.

ah, ok...person, place or thing?
Is it bigger than a bread-box?
Is it something age specific, or can everybody use it?

Define "totally free"...lol
Define "invite"...
Define "trying it out"...lol Is that kinda' like a "demo" or "trial".
Define "hobby project"...lol

Is there any free set of steak-knives as a personal gift, anywhere in this "offer"?

Why are you providing something "free", that sounds good enough to warrant a marketing program to "sell" it to the public?
