A couple of years ago as a member of the WorkSource Job Club, I began to realize that many people were unaware of resources in our community that would help them to save money. Some individuals had previously enjoyed high incomes but had recently lost them during the economic downturn, while others had lived in poverty for quite a while.
In this blog I don't tend to write about resources listed and/or provided by our excellent Whatcom County non-profits and governmental agencies for things such as food, housing, and healthcare; I would refer you to our local agencies for such assistance. Below are two links to help you locate these agencies:

http://www.whatcomnonprofits.org/Agencies.html
You also won't find suggestions for free entertainment which is listed in our local newspapers (see two examples below):
http://www.cascadiaweekly.com/
http://www.bellinghamherald.com/
Instead, I wanted to share ways for people of limited means to save money every day on other things they might need to purchase such as household items, clothing, appliances, and electronics, or resources such as free classes. I have created this blog to disseminate, update and add to this information.
