    I agree, it would be hard to just post something like

    save money by doing such and such

    and nobody makes a comment

    or someone else doesnt add a tip of their own and then others join in

    and if someone cracks a funny

    and someone says Lol

    thats normal

    imagine in a normal conversation when someone cracked a joke everyone went silent??

    nahhh LOL

    well said cathy. :D
  • If I may add from my experience, not buying processed and artificially colored foods, for whatever reason, DOES save money. It saves money on visiting the GP for meds, it saves money on over the counter stomach remedies, it saves money on trips to hospital when your child is bouncing off the walls and hurts himself/herself severely enough to require stitches. Ask me how I know. :-/ While knowing what each additive is and where it comes from may not be obviously frugal, it allows us to be informed consumers and make better choices on where to spend our money. That is the very essence of money saving, IMHO.
