The "Mommy" Economy

There’s no getting around it times are tough. Unemployment numbers are reaching highs nobody thought we would approach again after the great depression. The real estate and banking industries are now at less than a crawl and people are hurting financially. Welcome to the mommy economy.

What’s the mommy economy you ask? It’s when those gifted women we love so much do more with less, keep everything together in the household and display incredible prowess at keeping the family going regardless of unexpected reductions in finances.

Let’s face it guys, women are born with God-given abilities we just don’t have. I have a hard time clipping a coupon properly, let alone organizing several into a family hunting expedition that results in savings and instant rebates of equaling discounts of more than 50%.

Here’s an actual example of a woman I know. During last weeks grocery shopping she made purchases of over $100. As a result of her watching ads, choosing wisely and maximizing brands and double coupons she walked out of the store paying only $47.02As a matter of fact, at the time of her trip the store was busy and the store manager picked up the slack by getting on a register. He commented, “It was fortunate for her that he was on the register because he had to override the register due to her saving more than she spent.”

Mind you, she was not buying just top ramen and mac and cheese. Her list included everything from meats, cheeses, produce and even snacks. This woman and the thousands of other talented and dedicated mom’s in this nation are truly what makes America and our ability to survive tough times happen.

Now imagine if we got all those and countless other mom’s together to create buying power on everything from groceries to cars and automobiles to clothing. What would these incredible women be capable of? In short, a lot!

Fortunately, fondalo.com has done just this. We have built a free community of consumers that bring not only savings but also power to the mom’s everywhere. By joining forces with others interested in the same products, brands and stores fondalo users can request offers and obtain the buying power of large corporations.

We take our hats off to the mom’s that are keeping this economy alive right now. No amount of stimulus or government investment could keep this many families afloat as you do. Thank you for what you do!
