Bad economy and recessionista – anyone else tired of hearing these terms?
We’re all tired of the reports, I suppose but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to still save money! Handily, Juice has a whole feature this week on saving money. Luckily we live in a state with a lower cost of living than the rest of the country which helps out a ton. Other things that help out…. a page with local coupons, and a whole network for Des Moines folks interested in being fiscally-thrifty. Here’s a blog with local deals. Des Moines Families always has great tips and deals too! The Register also pulled together a list of all free events!
For online shopping discounts, I’d recommend RetailMeNot or FatWallet.
Local things I know of… free or $1 movies at Nova Cinema or outdoors, free city wading pools for kids, $1 days at the I Cubs, $5 tunes & mingling for adults at Fridays @ the Fountain or Clive After Five or free outdoor tunes at Jasper Winery or Music in the Junction.
