Counting Pennies

When I started planning my budget, I realized I was having a hard time going at it alone. I don’t personally know anybody on a strict budget, so I started looking on the internet for like-minded people I could share frustrations and ideas with. After trying and exploring a lot of places, I ended up sticking with a few websites that seem to match my goals and expectations. These are all people dealing with the same issues than me, so there’s always a good chance to find something useful, even when I’m not posting my own questions.

Saving Advice Forums: Lots of activity here, especially in the Personal Finance and Freebie sections.

Thrifty Forum UK: This is a new website, so there isn’t a lot of activity yet. Still, they cover subjects that I haven’t been able to find in other places, such as thrifty living for students and thrifty recycling.

Pinching Your Pennies Forums: This is my favorite stop. Lots of special categories and subdivisions. Many of the members here have been budgeting for years and they have a lot of great ideas. They even have a state-by-state brokedown of grocery deals, so you can find exactly what’s available in your area.
