The New York State Consumer Protection Board is on your SYDE!
Please JOIN our Stretch Your Dollar Effort.

The New York State Consumer Protection Board (CPB) launched a new campaign on behalf of consumers who are trying to make their dollar go further during these times of financial constraint and economic hardship. While many consumers have said they're struggling, several have risen to the challenge, devising good strategies to cut spending and save money. With that in mind, the CPB has launched its Stretching Your Dollars Effort (SYDE), to enable consumers to share their coping strategies with others by e-mailing or sending a written, audio or video tip to the CPB. In compiling the list of strategies, the Agency will be providing the public with a single point-of-reference for dollar-stretching tips that apply to many spending contexts.

Please add your own suggestions by sending an email or a downloadable audio or video clip to my2cents@consumer.state.ny.us. Consumers are urged to log on often to view new information as it is published.
