This WAS the BEST and friendliest on line forum in Australia and I still believe many forum members are the loveliest people I have met. The customer "Service" is poor and disappointing and I would not recommend this site anymore.

excellent money saving tips...can keep you occupied for hours...all topics covered...very helpful for all occasions...great for researching before making purchases

They do have quite a lot of free tip sheets, hints and a newsletter on the site. Every now and then they run special offers at half price for membership. The site makes you think twice before spending money and if it is possible to get more bang for your buck.

Great ideas and hints for saving money. I love how I get ideas to save money on things I hadn't even thought I was spending much on. Also promotes green habits through recycling and reusing. Love it!

Very helpful and down to earth advice that saves money. The newsletters are interesting and you find out things with common household stuff that you never considered had dual purposes.

There isn't a topic in the vault that you can't find somehow saving money on. I remember looking for ideas on how to have a different (and cheap) children's party and straight away founds some ideas on Simple Savings. Very helpful.

If you need to stretch your dollar, and let's face it, who doesn't, then this is the website for you. Thousands of money-saving tips and tricks in an easy to access format, and weekly emails with the best tip of the week. The only down side (if you could call it that) is that there are so many tips that you can lose yourself in their site; the time just flies as you marvel at the inventive ways people have of saving money.

Simple savings has saved me a packet! I highly reccomend this to everybody. The information provided is just so helpful you to can be saving in no time. It is easy to use and easy to read and understand.

lots of great ideas to help save money,and its free if you want it to be.No need to go searching unless you want to,their emails are imformative,and you can search from there easy enough.
