Saving money for college

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

While everyone is feeling the pinch of the current economic situation, finding ways to save money in our budget is always a welcome sight. Although things like using coupons, buying store brand instead of name brand and checking out the unit price will help save extra on groceries, it won’t do much for your kids college fund. That is, unless you are buying your groceries as a Upromise member.

Upromise is a free service that saves you money on most things you purchase every day. Whether you are purchasing items online, eating at your favorite restaurant, or buying groceries, you can earn extra money that can be used for college savings. According to their website, there are more than 600 online stores, over 8,000 restaurants, and over 21,000 grocery and drug stores to choose from.

Upromise was founded upon the philosophy that everyone should be able to afford a college education. It is often through higher education that people pursue their passions and reach their dreams.

Over 10 million people are now saving money for college as members of Upromise. I have been a member for a couple of years now, and I will admit that we haven’t earned a lot toward our kids college, but then again we haven’t done anything new to earn the money. This was the first year I purchased Christmas gifts through Upromise. The items I purchased were items I had already decided to purchase, so getting them through Upromise was a no-brainier.
