Mucho Moolah, Monday's Money Saving Tips!

October 26th, 2009 by Emily

While doing some research for Mucho Moolah topics, I ran across this topic and thought I’d pass it on.   A new trend has started to emerge on Twitter these days (when is there not a new trend on Twitter), where if you want to get discounts on things, you just need to follow certain twitterers!  Follow us at SCGuide and keep watch for upcoming products!

So, for those of you that don’t know, Twitter is a free social networking and micro blogging (normal posts aren’t longer
than 140 characters) service where users send and receive messages.  They are also able to read posts from anyone they are following (unless they have been removed from that persons’ followers list), and posts on particular trending topics.  If that didn’t make much sense to you, check out a tutorial for twitter here or read up on the service here.

So, how do you save money on Twitter? It’s simple…just follow certain users who post discount information for their
businesses!  Here are a few examples of users who disclose discounts:  @amazonmp3 for music, @JetBlueCheeps for travel discounts, @DealDivine for fashion and beauty deals and steals, @DealsPlus for general retail deals and @fstimes for giveaways and winning prizes.  Another good choice? @coupons…this could be hit or miss, but you might be able to print off some useful coupons for your weekly groceries!

So, check out these sections on Twitter if you want to save a little cash!  Good luck!
