I'll admit - I'm confused and a little concerned about the survey on this page. It didn't ask for a name or any contact info...how will my entry be logged?
I'm a subscriber and a happy one at that. I would love to see more coupons for groceries and other consumables, as well as any further insights on strategies and tactics for saving BIG money on BIG purchases (houses, cars, remodeling, higher education). Another thing I would personally enjoy is some guidance on first-time tax-filers such as myself. It's a little daunting, but with your help I'm sure I could see the light.
I would love to see deals on stocking stuffers for Christmas! Items $10 or under. Also, solid name brand shoes, apparel, accessories, jewelry for significant markdowns.
Its known that being inactive and overweight kills just as many people a year in the United States as smoking cigarettes. That's pretty scary, but your health should be top priority if you want to be able to live a long life. Great post!
All really good ideas on things you can do to help your financial situation when you have a minute. A lot of times people put off these important money saving ideas, that really are necessary, because they don't have time and on days off they just want to do things that are enjoyable. Definitely would benefit anyones life to take time to do these things on a day off from work.
The difficultly of tracking you finances is actually putting the spreadsheet together in the first place. Once you've set it up, it's easy to update, so a smartphone app sounds like a great way to set up a way of tracking your finances.
Married people do better financially than singles, not because financially successful people get married, but because married people who behave as true financial partners do better financially.
These days there's a lot of coupon websites selling different kinds of good deal. Before you select any deal, you must know first the reputation/review of the coupon site. Based on what I've experienced buying discounted flight/booked hotels for travel is one of the unsure deals that you can avail of. Since i experienced the inconvenience of scheduling it. So now, i only prefer buying beauty services.
You said "If the 529 college fund is placed in the grandparents name, it won't be seen by the college financial aid office."
No longer true. Unfortunately the value of that loophole disappeared in 2009. http://www.finaid.org/savings/loophole.phtml Income from the 529 held by the grandparents would count as "untaxed income" to the student and the 2nd year's financial aid would drop precipitously. That is because income to the student counts much higher than assets in a 529 held by parents, when calculating how much the family can pay (EFC).
I'm 19 years old and if its one thing the Armed Forces taught me, it was the value of a Dollar. $50 is something I believe many would take for granted. Toiletries, kitchenware, hell even a nice CD of the genre of your choice is a very welcoming thing. Personally I would put it towards a vacation jar/fund. I am quite fond of the E trade idea however.
Tara, I agree with you that we need to sleep more hours (between 8-10 hours a day) in order to live longer. Having poor sleeping habits will reduce our immune system and antibodies, meaning we are prone to illness if we develop bad sleeping routine.
In addition to that, if we are susceptible to diseases, significantly we will spend more money for medical bills and our productivity will be reduced as well.
Don't subscribe. And I'm not a big consumer.
Wouldn't want more mail in my inbox unless deals were for things I buy regularly, like groceries.

Fingers crossed.

I just subscribed today. I would like to see deals for groceries, clothing, and housewares.
I like your deals as they are!
I would like deals on books and blu-rays. Those are things that I buy online.
I would really like to see more home/garden/kitchen deals posted. Love the newsletter and keep up the great work!
Bread was wonderful

A swim at the public pool costs $2 for parking. There are free Zumba lessons in plenty of parks. Also walking the dogs and riding my bike are free.

This is a great idea. You should put your volunteering on your LinkedIn profile as well.

Coupons on mobile phones are good and many stores can scan them directly from your phone. This saves you time and also dont need to print the coupon
Very good advice for saving on the real black friday deals. Dedicated deals sites make it easy for finding the good deals
Love to walk outside and have a treadmill for when it is too cold, snowy or icy out.

A hyperlink to each week's shopping list would be fantastic!

My teenage son has a friend that LOVES the Aldi hotdogs. I can't keep them stocked in my house!! ;)
