Win Win Savings is a win win for you!

My good friend Shari is getting her business off the ground, and it's an amazing concept. Win Win Savings started in Brevard but is branching out nationwide.

What they do: Gather gift certificates from area merchants in exchange for advertising space, then sell them on the site at a discount to you of as much as 75%. Then, they give 25% of proceeds to the charity of YOUR choice, which you select upon checkout.

What you do: Use these at your favorite merchants, from restaurants to salons to even dentists! Also, persuade your favorite businesses and charities to get involved!

What your church/charitable organization can do: Sign up to be one of the charities eligible for donation. In exchange, they steer their members to Win Win Savings to save money and also help them out!

I just heard that they're now offering gift certificates to Imperial Salon, veddy posh. Give the gift of one of their gift certificates to someone you admire (including yourself!) and the Joneses will never know that not only didn't you pay full price, but you gave back to the community as well!
