I hope the name of our community made you do a double-take -- I wanted something catchy but still convey what we're about: helping you find ways to save money and have the "lifestyle for le$$"! When I save money on something (the "cheap" part), I get a "thrill". Maybe you do too! Or ...

... maybe you're the type that is super-busy and doesn't have time to find the deals - well, we can help there too. Just check us out for ways to stretch those hard-earned dollars.

Read my "How Did I Get Here?" blog to see my story. You'll see that I wasn't always like this. But now, my husband and I live on less than we make, so we maximize it by being smart shoppers/spenders/savers. I don't like to pay retail, and if given time, I find a way to save on my purchases - totally legit, of course! And that's what I will share with you. I'll share my secrets!

You know, I see this community as a cocktail party - many guests with multiple conversations going on. I'm your hostess, but I imagine that there are others out there who engage other guests to join them in different groups or discussions. Just like at a party, you may have some folks talking about sports, kids, work, politics, etc. On CheapThrillsNetwork.net, you'll find established groups on groceries, health, travel, clothing, etc.

Oh, I'm looking for some outgoing personalities to keep members interested in these topics - in other words, be "in charge" of a particular group. If that's you, let me know. If there are other topics that you'd like to discuss ... then start a group!

And, hey, this is a dynamic site. So if you have any suggestions, feel free to "give me your two cents". This is going to be continually changing, based on your preferences and information available.

Thanks for checking us out. I hope you join us - and if you like us, invite your friends!

Here's to finding cheap thrills ... and turning the rest of us on to them!
