Description:

This will be an International swap because I know that we are all, wherever we are, feeling the effects of the global credit crunch.

Its not a tiny swap, but its intended to be useful AND fun! Read carefully, its a 2 parter!

I thought it was a good idea to start the New Year with some great resolutions .........

I am always trying to find new ways to save money, fuel, energy, water etc, and live on a much tighter budget - I know a lot of us are in the same boat ........ SO, how about we share our little hints and tips to make things just a little easier?

My idea is that we have 1 partner each and we create a notebook of hints and tips for them. The notebook can be new(or thrifted) or handmade, but must be decorated in bright, fun colours - (to keep us all smiling!) It needs to be a sturdy little book, to withstand a lot of use :) Inside the notebook you will decorate a minimum of 10 pages and include on them some of your hints and tips for beating the credit crunch -

ideas for pages - recipes for budget family meals

                     recipes for budget entertaining

                     ideas for budget family outings

                     money saving tips

                     fuel/energy saving tips

                     clever ways to shop

There are so many ways to save - Im sure that each one of us can share some great ideas!

The rest of the book will be blank so that your partner may add his/her own plans ........

The SECOND part of the swap is to include a coinpurse (again, handmade, new or thrifted) to help keep those pennies under control! Please put in a small denomination coin of your own currency - so that your partner can remember that he/she is not alone in these trying times!

This shouldnt be an expensive swap in monetary terms, but will require thought and effort please.

Swappers with a rating of 4.8 and above please - if you would like to discuss this then please PM me.

Please also remember my golden rule ......

"Swap as you would wish to be swapped by"

I love this idea! I'm always looking for new ways to save money, especially being a junior in college...I'm living in an apartment next year for the first time and graduating in 2010 so I've already been trying to get into the habit of saving money. Thanks so much for making this swap, I'm in :]
