Hello there..
I'm Jayne from Flordia.
I came across this website/fourm from a google search, and am hoping to find some great tips on saving money on everyday bills, as well as family/child related expenses. As a single mother, things have gotten tougher latley due to the economy.
I'm intersted in general money savings tips, and need to find a way to send my 4 year old little man to preschool/childcare while I'm off at work for much less!
Good to meet everybody
-Jayne

Lovely to meet you, Jayne! :) On the preschool, can you give more details on that? It would be helpful to tell us what rate are you paying just now and what you get for that. Welcome to you and your little guy! :)

Hi there Jayne. Nice to meet you. Welcome! I think if you narrow it down to what areas are within traveling distance for you too we can be more specific.

SavingTools is the name of the site and the admin. And he doesn't like people spamming links in posts either!

Hi, Jayne! They just had an article on here not that long ago about a parenting coop. You could try that...http://savingtools.com/tips/save-thousands-childcare-with-a-parenting-coop
I also found this one under a search for "childcare": http://savingtools.com/tips/how-save-childcare.
I have tried cooping with a neighbor and it worked well for a while until my schedule changed. Childcare is one of the worst expenses. I don't want to complain about paying someone too much to make sure my child is well cared for, but, I guess that's just what I'm doing!
