Am I the only one to think of this?
With so many consumers trying to save, why aren't more companies marketing "we'll help you save money"? (I've only seen a few Discover ads like this)
Home Depot should offer free sessions on home gardening and energy-saving upgrades - people will buy pre-cut lumber, plants, weatherstripping...
Auto shops can offer discounts for MPG-improving services to 'keep your big investment on the road longer'.
Where are the companies lining up to help us FIX what we own (shoes, clothes, computers)? It might generate less revenue per shopper right now, but you'll get more people in the door...and most people still spend more than planned.
Wish this applied to eBay - but I'm doing what I can. I've written a "mini-book" (now 21 pages and counting) with almost 100 ideas for saving money...and I'll shortly be offering it for sale for just $3.

So true. I'm kicking myself for never learning how to sew -- comes in handy for mending those inevitable rips in your kids' clothes.
I have heard that American Express is actually paying customers NOT to use the card.
