It's an amazing place with a huge wealth of helpful info and friendly people. But remember it's open to all, content isn't officially checked out by MSE and anyone can post on it.
-
The Old Stylers who discuss everything from war-time rationing to white vinegar.
-
The Debt-free Wannabe Diarists detailing their latest triumphs in cutting their debt.
-
Bargainistas sharing the latest deals and tips on the hugely popular Grabbit board, voucher and code finds on Discount Codes 'n Vouchers and the Freebies board.

How to report posts that break the rules
If you believe the post is spam, you can simply click the 'Spam' option. If you think the post breaks one of our Forum Rules, click the 'Report' option.
You will then be asked to provide a reason for reporting the post with a list of options. Select the option that is closest to the rule you think has been broken.
Remember: Misusing or abusing the report button is against our rules so only report content you think breaks the rules. We may take action against accounts that repeatedly misuse the reporting system.
