I was thrilled to find out last week that I was selected as a 2011 Savings.com DealPro! Some of you may remember voting for me last year to be a 2010 DealPro and I cannot tell you how excited I am to be working with Savings.com again this year. They have some awesome things going on and I’m about to share one of them with you:
The Savings Pledge is the foundation of a movement to help consumers collectively save one billion dollars! Anyone can take the Pledge and make a commitment to being smart with money! Here is how it works:
1. Boogie on over to The Savings Pledge Page on the Bargain Blessings Facebook page. Please note that you may get a security error when accessing it for the first time. Savings.com is working on correcting this, and it is safe to click through it.
2. Enter the amount of money that you would like to commit to saving each week.
3. Select what you are saving for. Is it a dream vacation, a child’s education, to pay off your mortgage or even just to pay the bills?!?
4. Select how you plan to reach your goal? Will you be clipping coupons, using an automatic savings plan, smarter purchasing or something else?
That’s it! You’ve made your pledge! Also, I wanted to be sure to get this post up nice and early for you because 5 of the first 500 people to take the pledge today will win a one-on-one, personalized advice session with a 2011 DealPro! Savings.com will also be celebrating key milestones ($100k of savings pledged, $500k of savings pledged) by offering special, exclusive deals to people who take the pledge so you can look forward to gaining access to those!
Once you’ve made your Savings Pledge, don’t worry…I’m not going to leave you hanging! In addition to all of the other money saving opportunities that you are used to seeing on Bargain Blessings, starting today, I will be doing a 20 day Savings Pledge Series to help kick-off your Pledge with a bang! The goal of this series will be for me to provide you with one simple way each day that you can use to reach your savings goal! Stay tuned for the first post in the series that will go up later today and make sure to head on over right now to take the Pledge!
I’d also love it if you would leave a comment and share what you will be saving for! I thought it would be fun to see our different goals! I took the Savings Pledge and will be saving to pay off my mortgage!

Can someone please suggest me the ways i can save. My husband and I are both unemployed for now. We have 2 kids.
Karen says
I pledged! I want to stay at home with my kids, so I want to save to pay the bills 🙂
Ryne says
This is great! I did get the error when accessing the pledge, but was able to get through it. My wife and I are pledging to save for our next vacation instead of taking the money from our existing savings account. I don’t know where we are going to go yet, but I hope to make it a nice one.
Amy says
My husband and I are trying to start a family and I plan to save for my child’s education.

I am also saving to pay my mortgage off Jennie! This is so exciting!
