If you’ve been reading this newsletter for a while, there is a good chance you saved money on groceries this year.
Maybe you snagged some discounted baking essentials, stocked up on ribeyes, or loaded up on fresh blueberries for $0.99/pint because of this email. Maybe you avoided overpaying for eggs because you checked the Egg Price Tracker. Or maybe you just felt more confident walking into Fred Meyer knowing exactly what was on sale.
That is the mission of Stumptown Savings: to put money back in your pocket.
But independent, consumer-focused, hyper-local reporting like this isn't free to produce.
To keep this newsletter arriving in your inbox every week in 2026, I need to raise $8,000 before Dec. 31.
This fund covers the unglamorous but essential costs of this project: the software that powers the newsletter, the raw materials for our taste tests, and the accounting and finance tracking tools needed to operate Stumptown Savings.
I am asking you to reinvest a tiny fraction of your savings back into this resource.
If I helped you save $50 this year, consider donating $15 today.
If you rely on these alerts every week, a $50 donation ensures they keep coming.
Twenty days into this campaign, we are currently just over 12% of the way to our goal. Your support today — whether it's $5 or $500 — is the fuel that keeps this engine running.
Thank you for valuing local, independent journalism.
Bryan,
Stumptown Savings
