Feed The Pig!

Are you a Recessionista? I love this term! I first heard it from Kim at MFT stamps. If you are a Recessionista (and these days, who isn't?), then you are probably already feeding the pig.

Was does it mean to feed the pig? It means feeding your piggy bank, a.k.a. saving money. I discovered a great website at www.feedthepig.org that gives great tips on ways to save money. I've already put a lot of the tips into practice, but I did learn a few new ones, too.

I can tell you that one way I've been saving money on my craft this year is by entering contests and challenges that award prizes. In the last six months, I've probably won over $100 in free stamps! This week, I won a free stamp set from Gina K Designs for entering the box from an earlier post into her new release challenge. woo hoo! Free rubbah!

I love to hear tips from fellow recessionistas, so if you have any to pass along, please share them here!

And don't forget to enter Monday's thread for a chance to win the new mystery from Joanna Campbell Slan!
