You guys know I am a HUGE advocate for budgeting and saving money!! I have taken the time to breakdown all our spending into categories and designate a certain amount of money every month to be spent in that specific area. It is amazing how quickly a dollar here and there can add up and before you know it you have spent massive money and have nothing to show for it!
I just found out about a fabulous site where you’ll find online money management and budgeting software for FREE–Mint.com!! I am a graph person…I love to be able to visually see where my money is going. I also want to be able to track my variations each month to see if there is a trend that might mean I need to increase or decrease my budgeted amount in a certain category.
Check out Mint.com –If you are just starting to budget you will love it. If you are an old pro there are a ton of tools for money management. I am one of those geeks who love to see spreadsheets and online calculators…my savings account thanks me for it 😀
Speaking of spreadsheets…I will have the new shopping spreadsheet up after dinner tonight…and hey it is FREE too 😀

Nivea please!
I would like to be entered for the nivea coupon giveaway!
What a great giveaway-sign me up for the Nivea please!
I just started using Mint about two months ago and it has been a huge help for us to really know where our money goes each month–it’s crazy how much $$ goes to impulse stuff. Great tool thanks for everything!
I absolutely LOVE mint.com. I have been using it for about a year and I’m still amazed to see where my spending goes. They’ve added a lot of new features like budgeting which really help stay on track for monthly budgets for just about anything. They have all of the big and medium banks/credit card companies on there, so it should be easy for most people. They keep adding small banks and credit unions, so if all of your banks/credit card companies aren’t on there yet, just request it and you’ll be notified when it’s been added. Just use whatever bank/credit card you have that is available on the site now, every little bit of info about your spending habits is useful!!
I’ve seen this before, but my main concern with doing it was entering all of my financial information in one place. Can anybody attest to how safe your information is with this site?
I would like the Nivea coupons if I win please!
I feel the same as the other poster, I am really leary about putting my financial info and account #’s out there.
I have been using mint for over a year! Its an amazing product that helps you budget far better than quicken or money. Its much easier. Its completely safe! All my accounts are linked to mint.
I would love the Nivea coupons. My daughter is going away to college, and we are trying to stock up on essentials to send with her.
We LOVE Mint.com!! It was featured in Money magazine. My husband is a computer science major and is always leary of these things, but he did not hesitate with Mint. We love it!
I would like the Nivea coupons please! I am new at the couponing game, but so excited to be doing this!
HI,
I did sign up there last week but I couldn’t “check out” the website unless I link my bank info there where I stopped. Why do they need that? Are they tracking debit transaction, is that one of the reason? Is it safe to do it?
I really want to try something so I can track my spendings. LLNOE!
I have been using Mint.com for over a year now and I love it! I haven’t had any troubles at all. Your information is very secure, you can read on their site how they insure no one can get to your accounts. It’s a great tool to use for budgeting.
Cool giveaway! Nivea please!
Would love the coupons! Thank you! 😉
I would like the Nivea coupons please if I win!! Thanks!
