My Thoughts: The Molly Membership certainly has great information to share and they’ve done their research well. I like that all the information is gathered for you which makes saving money easier and faster for me!
I also like that they are very family oriented and have specific monthly activities to help build a closer relationship with your children, including great ideas to help teach them to live frugally in a world where we are bombarded with advertisements and materialism.

I absolutely love Econobusters. I have been following them since just before Christmas and joined the monthly subscription when it started this year. You definitely get a lot of useful information each month. This is my one spurge and I don't feel at all guilty about spending $3.95 a month on myself.
