Member Centre Help Files: Tip Sheets

This week I thought I'd focus on the Tip Sheet library and all it contains. There's a lot of great money, time and energy saving information on this page, ready and waiting for you. 

Firstly though, you'll need to be logged in to access the Tip Sheet page. If you're not logged in, you won't be able to view the page or download any of the tip sheets or ebooks or tools. So before you do anything else, make sure you're logged into the Member's Centre.

There is a huge library of tip sheets, ebooks, how tos and tools available to active Cheapskates Club members, and it is added to on a regular basis.

Right now there are 164 tip sheets, in 12 categories that you can download. All downloads are in .pdf, A4 size and ready for you to print.  That's a long list, so I'll just list the categories - you'll need to login to see the index of Tip Sheets.

Tip Sheet Categories:
Babies & Children
Christmas
Cleaning
Cooking
Gardening
Health & Beauty
Home & Family
Money Matters
Pets
Shopping
Special Occasions
Travel & Holidays

There are also 15 ebooks covering a range of topics from preserving to cleaning to bare bones shopping.

Lastly, Saving Stories. These are real life stories from real Cheapskaters just like you.

If you haven't read any of the Saving Stories yet, or you've forgotten them, I recommend making a cuppa and sitting down for some inspiring and encouraging stories, from real people, who have really lived their stories.
