Get ready to share your creativity this holiday season. We are excited to announce our holiday bonus program for Christmas or holiday craft submissions.
Recently we have been receiving far more submissions than is usual and our editors have had to make some hard choices about which submissions to keep. Because of this, we are announcing some new changes to our photo bonuses and contests. This should allow us to pay for the very best content we receive, while still allowing all our members to have a voice when sharing tips. Here are the changes, effective September 1st.

Hi Judith! Welcome to Thrifty Fun. I go by my cats name (Rasta). I live in Chattanooga, TN. We are retired and moved here three years ago from Maryland and love not shoveling snow. I enjoy sewing and crafting which I never had alot of time to do until now. I make things to go into Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. We enjoy going to Atlanta and working in the warehouse inspecting the boxes for overseas shipment every December.
Hi Judith,

We all love ThriftyFun, right? Lots of times I have thought, "WOW, I would never have thought about that", "What a cute idea" or "What a great tip". I vow that this is something I am not going to forget.
I wanted to show my appreciation for this website! Thank you so much for a place to go and find out anything we need to make our life easier! I don't visit many sites, I spend a lot of time here, I know when I get bored I can come here and learn a lot from people all over the world! We all appreciate your hard work to keep this site going. Thanks so much!
I was wondering how long it takes before a question is posted? I submitted a question and it hasn't been posted yet.
Thanks
Normally questions are posted within 24 hours. Lately we have been getting so many requests that it has been taking longer. We hope to get caught up on requests over the weekend.
