Do you ever share your tips to save money with friends, family, or coworkers?

I share info with my sister, and one coworker at work that is more frugal than I am.

I share with a group of coworkers if I think its something they might be interested, or is related to pets, kids (specific to them)

My mom. Otherwise most people are not interested in hearing what you have to say.

Only if I know they're interested. Most people don't really get it and think I'm talking about saving a nickel or two at the grocery store instead of hundreds.

When I get a super deal I am just skipping out of the store and have trouble NOT shouting it out to the world... but only share it with those I know will care!!

I find this to be true, too. Some folks just look at me cross-eyed and say, "I don't have time to do that!" when I mention a money-saving tip. Or, if they are trying to save money and are in need of such tips, they nod in agreement, but never try the suggestion.

It seems like people do want to save money, but don't want to change their habits, imo.
