You already know that the Joy Troupe is FUN for you and your little ones.

What you may not realize is that being part of our community of families can help you fatten your savings account! Everyone wants a good nest egg in uncertain economic times. Check out all the ways our members are using our group to save, save, save! Got your own ways you're using our community to save money? Be sure to add them in our "comments" section.

We have a sitter exchange so our members can swap child care. You sit for her kids, she sits for yours, and you pocket the money you'd have spent on a sitter. Our Classifieds are free- no ebay fees! and you know everyone who sees them is a local parent or caregiver- no Nigerian Princes here! Our recipe swap group is a great place to find economical solutions for meal planning. (And share your own!) Our calendar is packed with FREE events and activities every day of the week. Not spending doesn't have to mean sitting at home! We have a pre-school coop, which is going to save some families over $8,000 apiece in 2009. Special Joy Troupe only discount offers from local businesses Swap Meet events: Swap stuff you don't need for stuff you do... leftovers donated to a local charity Find and share deals and tips on our "green and thrifty" forum Weight loss support group starting soon- much more fun than commercial plans, and SO much less expensive!
