Passionate Penny Pincher: Blogging for Good

Today I have a blog post up over at Passionate Penny Pincher about ways to save at the grocery store without using coupons.

I met the proprieter of Passionate Penny Pincher (wew!  that’s fun to say!) at the Savvy Blogging Summit earlier this month.  Laurie was immediately warm and friendly, and I was really intrigued when I learned that she donates half of all her blog income to charity.  Right now she is working toward being able to buy a van for an orphanage that has just been established in her community.

This is the perfect example of what I was talking about when I wrote about blogging with purpose and for social good a few weeks ago.  Laurie is using her blog to not only help support her family, but also to make a difference in her community.  I like to think that I played a tensie part in that by giving her some content that she can use on her blog (and, as she said, save her 4 hours of work).  Of course, I also reap the huge benefit of having all her readers see my post.  That’s the great thing about this blogging thing – it’s a community that can work together in so many new, diverse, and amazing ways!

I owe Big thanks to Laurie for sharing my writing with her readers, and for giving me so many great tips at the Savvy Blogging Summit.  If I start to feature coupon match-ups and frugal deals on my website, you can blame it on on her, as she is truly an inspiration. (And, she also looked at me like I was nuts when I told her that there aren’t any coupon bloggers in my area and said, “Then why aren’t YOU doing it?”)
