Tip Jar through Google Moderator

While Microsoft gives cashback for searches (only in the US), Google Moderator hasa TipJar for ideas on ways to save money.

Some of these are very obvious - "don't grocery shop on an empty stomach", or "eat out less". Probably someone said "take your own lunch". However, if this is the way to get the point across, so be it.

It's a bit like the household-tips books of long ago in purpose, but very social and collaborative in execution.

Google Moderator is a way of setting up a QnA service - or series as it's called here. With registration you can ask, answer, comment, and vote on the items, or create your own series. It's been around for a while and was described in Google Operating System - Google Moderator in September 2008
