This Little Piggy Went Banking

The economy is slow, prices are going up, the job market is falling – it’s hard to keep your chinny-chin-chin up in times like these.

A lot of people turn to retail therapy when they’re feeling down, but it’s smarter to save than spend these days. But how to battle the bearish blues?

Well, we here at WooMeOver have found one way to pig out a little without breaking the bank!

When you buy a bejeweled piggy bank, you feel like you’re splurging on a luxury item, but they’re actually pretty affordable. Sometimes, when you can’t buy jewels, the next best thing is something bejeweled. And the bonus is that they encourage you to save, save save… and in style!

As Good as Gold

Some people think that our country needs to return to the gold standard. Well, until it does, we can at least depend on this golden piggy bank from Giftmonger to remind us of what the good times were like. And despite its gilded splendor, it’s as happy to save a copper penny as a silver dollar.

The Socially Responsible Saver

Not only will this beaded bank from Wow! Imports help you to save, but it will help others financially, too. Each pig is hand-crafted in Africa by fair-trade bead and wire artists. What a find: a piggy bank that is adorable, bejeweled, and socially responsible – what a jewel of a find!

Crown Jewels

You’ll be as happy as a pig in mud with this darling jeweled bank by Mud Pie Baby. Boasting jeweled crowns and adorned with a bejeweled bow, it’s a great reminder that it’s possible to save with style! 

Affordable Luxuries

Since all of these banks are less than $30, I guess you could say that they’re “bankable.” So, as you can see, there’s no reason to feel bearish, despite current market conditions. Instead, you can feel delightfully piggish – and still be a savvy saver. 

In Hog Heaven,

Olivia
