Tightwad Reminder!!

So it's April 1st but no April Fool's Jokes from this lady. Instead, I'm going to put out a little reminder that MAY 1, 2014 is the due date for any submissions for the Tightwad Round Robin.  So far, I have one person who submitted a tip and that makes for a rather tiny TRR issue, doesn't it?  So please, pretty please wrack your brains for tips, tricks, and tightwad hints to add so I can add some bulk to the good old TRR!

Come on, folks. We all like to save a few bucks here and there, right? We all have a favorite tip or recipe we'd like to share. Who hasn't had a brainstorm that you wished you could pass on?  Garage sale hints? Cheap supper ideas? Budgeting advice? Hand-made gifts and crafts?  Gardening tricks?  Creative storage suggestions?  Easy (and cheap) decorating tips?  Ways to turn secondhand trash into firsthand treasures? Send them on to me and I'll do all the compiling.

And as always, $2 per paper issue but free e-copies are available via email.  Just let me know which version you would prefer when you send your letter to me. Send your advice in the form of a letter, note, or even just a one line email to tightwadroundrobin[at]hotmail[dot]com.  If you want, I'll also accept your tips in handwritten form (letter, note, post-it, etc) via hand-to-hand transfer or the US Postal Service. If you really can't get it to me that way, then I'll take a verbal note via the telephone or face to face conversation (just make sure I have a pen and paper handy so I can jot down your contribution to the TRR). However, I don't accept smoke signals, or ideas sent via mental telepathy. 

Don't be shy! I look forward to seeing who sends on their hints for pinching pennies! Thanks much in advance!
