if you were imagining an office full of cheapskates and spendthrifts looking for ways to save money you wouldn’t be too far off.   the penny pinchers certainly love a deal!

but don’t be fooled by our name!  we’re actually a group of arizona residents who maintain the wherewithal to spend the largest portion of our expendable income at local or small businesses, while still looking for a deal.  thrifty in the most methodical way!

2009 has proven to be a difficult year for many.  perhaps no sector has been hit harder than small business, with many of arizona’s favorite “mom and pop” destinations closing for good.  new laws certainly aren’t making it easy, or even appealing, for small business to flourish in arizona.  in fact, one might argue it is more difficult to own and operate a small business now than any time in our country’s history.  and it hardly seems right!

take a look around you.  large shopping centers are taking on an all too familiar look.  smaller centers are stripped down and littered with vacancies.  large national accounts and familiar chains are abundant, while small business continues to fade off into the valley’s very own beautiful sunsets!  to this problem, we offer www.the-penny-pinchers.com.   at last, an online source for savings truly dedicated to small business in arizona.

more than just a “cause” organization, we operate a pretty cool website as well.  we pride ourselves on offering arizonian’s the most translucent and honest source for savings in arizona.  perhaps that’s why we require zero, zip, nadda by way of personal information to use our site.  the penny pinchers are 100% free for consumer usage, with no registration or silly passwords required to use our site.  your personal information is just that; personal!

furthermore, while the internet offers countless websites for coupon hounds, we questioned whether anybody was truly offering coupon destinations designed around "simplicity."  better yet, were these websites really saving you money?  to that, we built our site with the most honest intentions.  void from the penny pinchers are deals that articulate to %’s saved.  absent are offers that translate to “buy 1, get 1 free.”  and completely forbidden are long restrictions that are confusing and painful to read.  in fact, all of our deals translate to dollars saved only, a method of advertising we will not detour from.  kiss!  keep it simple stupid!

honesty, free usage, and practical deals aside, could we build a  website that would entice consumers to visit our site with regularity?  as avid coupon clippers ourselves we grew tired of marathon-like searches to achieve our primary goal.  from website to website, hyperlink to hyperlink, and pop-up window to pop-up window; the search for savings simply got exhausting!  visit the penny pinchers just once and see just how simple saving can be; not mention fun!

if you are as passionate about arizona as we are, we humbly invite you to join the penny pincher community.  please make it a point to visit us at one of the 50+ networking events we participate in each year.  in closing, we hope you’ve noticed just how unique a coupon on our site is versus our competition.  so long to the 2-inch tear-out that comes in your mailbox!  a penny pincher coupon makes the ultimate collateral marketing piece.  use our colorful dollars to compliment your business card at all social and professional networking events.  and just imagine, how simple it becomes for your business to benefit from joining the fastest growing online source for savings in arizona.

to locally owned and operated businesses in arizona, we hope you join our cause!  and to arizonian’s who understand the importance of shopping locally, we hope you can’t spend without us!  remember, “a penny saved is a penny earned!”
