What is Pinterest? Pinterest is a place where all sorts of great information is organized. It is a sort of an online bulletin board, where members can “pin” their favorite websites and ideas. Pinterest is fast becoming the new way to network, and some of my friends say that they spend more time on this site than they do on any other, including Facebook. Why not take advantage of everything that Pinterest to save some money and learn some new things about being frugal?
How Can I Join Pinterest?
Pinterest is free to use and free to browse. You can just go to the website and start looking at pins that other people have posted. You can also look at the pins that your friends have made and start from there.
In order to start making your own pins, you will need to be a member. You can ask for an invite at the site, and you will be placed on a waiting list. Why this is, I am not sure, other than they might figure that if it is is hard to get in then you will want to do it all the more. You can also get an invitation from a friend, which is a lot quicker.
How Can I Use Pinterest to Save Money
There is a wealth of ideas on Pinterest that can help your goals to be frugal and save money. For example, you can find pins that tell you how to make inexpensive girl’s dresses clothing from thrift store finds. You can also find plenty of great recipes for inexpensive home cooked meals.
There is some categorization of the information, so you can search for DIY & Crafts, let’s say or Kids if you are looking for some ways to decorate your kid’s room on the cheap.
My suggestion is to start with the most popular for new ideas and then go from there. If you find any great money-saving pins, please let me know!
