Boy Scout moment of the day! I am seeking my "Assisting the Real Estate Professionals" merit badge. :-D

For those in need of a good online printing company:

I have been very pleased with their costs, quality, turn-around times, and shipping methods. I've used them for business cards and custom 4.25"x3.25" promotional cards. At the time I ordered business cards, I compared their rates to other major online printers, and they were the best of the bunch! (With the way prices change, that may not be true today... due diligence required!)

Here's another marvel of the internet:

RetailMeNot.com provides a coupon database of 65,000 online retailers. Type in the website you're shopping at, and you may find coupons that apply to your purchase. I've used this database to save money at Uprinting.com and several other sites, and it cost me nothing but 20 seconds of time to aquire my coupon codes. It's like picking up money in a parking lot!

Saving Moola !

I like that! I know our homebuyers are generally about the "deal." I admit it...I got some of that in me too! Thanks for the heads up on these cost-savings sites!

Lori: Definitely! The recession has helped to focus small business owners on the importance of cutting costs and increasing capital savings.

Rochelle: You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!

Jack: *proudly advances onto stage to receive merit badge* I would like to thank a litany of family members and ActiveRain members who helped me reach this goal... (Best of luck with your money-saving efforts!)

Esther: Yes, saving money can be a lot of fun- so long as the money we save is spent wisely elsewhere. I like signing up for credit card offers that give $50 - $100 statement credits or retail gift cards. (I pay the statement balance at the end of the month, of course... :-D)

David ... You'd get a standing ovation ... and I've already saved over $30.00 since yesterday! (Am I supposed to think about offer a referral fee?) (LOL) Thanks again for the great suggestions and resources!

Congratulations on saving over $30, Jack! Was that by visiting RetailMeNot, Uprinting, or both?

David, I saved 25% off of a national geographic order at Retailmenot. I was so excited as I was buying some luggage at the time. It was on sale and I got an extra 25% off.

*high five for Marchel* 25% is larger than any coupon amount I've received. Keep on saving!
