The PennySaver

The PennySaver community tradition was started back in the Great Depression. Our current incarnation was launched in 1962 when Bob DeMarco, a directory salesman, had an idea to start the Huntington Beach PennySaver. People used to go to his office and wait in line, cash in hand, to place their ads. Demand was so strong, that at his noon deadline at the end of each week, he would have to lock his doors. The Original PennySaver, as we know it today, follows a similar format as the original Huntington Beach PennySaver.

PennySaver has been serving local communities for over 50 years. That’s half a century of fulfilling our mission to connect buyers and sellers. PennySaver is in the business of helping local businesses thrive through effective hyper-local marketing products and services. We are read weekly in print by California households and 24/7 across the United States on PennySaverUSA.com.
