I thought I'd give some helpful tips on money saving websites, I have a few located on this blog under the title "Money Saving Websites"
1st up the Australian Gov site is
The Good
- useful and user friendly- they've tried to make it colourful and fun, and compared to the other parts of their site, they've done pretty well.
- it also has a budget planner- really handy if you're an implusive buyer like me :P
- makes you more organised
The Bad
-General in its information
The Ugly #%@
- Colour- even though it tried the colours are a bit off. -especially the background! argh its too bland, needs splashes of yellow or blue!
2nd is simple savings website
The Good
- this one is funny- love the graphics- they've got a funny basic charm. (yes i'm rating the cartoons)
- It has some pdf files that have money saving tips and motivators
- Has advice and tips for all age groups e.g. from families to students, single parents, everyone and anyone that wants to save.
-Has competitions for members and gives cash rewards, reasonable amount too, not ridiculous amounts that are hard to believe or too little.
- you have options 1- sign up free- receive daily hint emails or 2- pay and receive access to 'vault' privileges.
- they actually have a $21 dollar challenge for a whole week of grocery shopping, and give out prizes/ rewards for people who enter with ways of how they saved using this method.

-Its not too ulgy at the moment, aside from the text. I would actually recommend it if anything. It has some useful advice and pdfs.
- I've currently signed up with them for free and it'd say I'd want more, but I'm too scroogy to go for the pay option :P
