Savings Tips Drive - Give one, take a dozen!

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Go “savings crazy” with MilitaryMoney.com’s Facebook Savings Tips Drive, sponsored by USAA during the month of February 2011.  With a goal of compiling the 50 most innovative ideas on how to save money, http://www.MilitaryMoney.com is asking readers to ”drop off” their tips in a number of categories including: Utilities, Housing, Food and Kids.  

Those who visit MilitaryMoney.com’s Facebook page will have the opportunity to fill their shopping baskets with free ideas from consumers around the country (and, hopefully, add one or two of their own).

For each savings tip posted, Military Money is donating $1 to the National Military Family Association Operation Purple® program, a camp program dedicated to bringing military kids and families together at camps and retreats.

The MilitaryMoney.com Savings Tips Drive is being held in conjunction with Military Saves, a campaign designed to persuade, motivate, and encourage military families to save money every month.

Visit MilitaryMoney.com’s Facebook page in February and go savings crazy while donating to a worthy cause.   What are you waiting for?  Post your savings tip today.

From the GI Bill to VA loans, frequent moves to deployment preparation, military readers deserve financial information and planning tools designed with their unique needs in mind.
