Mainers are known for their ingenuity. When the weather can go from sunny to a snowstorm in seconds, and end of winter potholes make flat tires seem commonplace, thinking on your feet is a necessity. Mainers are also creative in how they make the most of their money, and are always finding new ways to save. Maine’s Credit Unions are giving their members a way to share their best saving tips, through the new website, ShareItAndSave.org. There, you can share a tip, and each month the member who submits the most creative tip will be awarded $250!
Here are some of the tips we’ve received so far:
“I get paid bi-weekly, so I pay my budgeted bills first, so that I'm less likely to over spend.”
“I use a CU ATM card only, that’s set up to access only my savings account so it limits the amount I can take out daily.”
“I save over $500.00 a year just by making my own coffee for my ride to work.”
“Changing my home heating source from oil to pellets has saved me over $2000/year!”
“Credit cards make it very easy to spend money, carrying cash helps me maintain financial discipline and stick to my budget.”
To view more tips or to submit your own, visit ShareItAndSave.org!
