Shop Smarter This Holiday Season

I have been away for awhile, but now I am back!  Back with wonderful smart-saving tips on how to keep a few extra bucks in your wallets during the holidays.  It is down to the finish line- You are running the race to find the greatest bargains ever!  I am a contender in that race for deals too.  Read on for some insider tips on how to keep your pockets lined with more cash to buy novelty, electronic, and other popular gift items………

Tip 1:   Be a Savvy Shopper                                               

Compare shopping prices at different retailers.  For example, when visiting Wal-Mart remember that they have the Ad Match Guarantee.  If you find the same product at a lower price elsewhere like Kmart or Target, Wal-Mart will sell the product to you at that lower price.  Just bring the ad with you into the store to guarantee your savings.  Moreover, you can get scan products and get price comparisons from your smart phone no matter where you are with the Shop Savvy app.

Tip 2: Promotional Code Hunter

Before shopping hunt for promotional codes online to find huge savings when shopping online or at your favorite retail store.  Some of my favorite sites are Savings.com and Retailmenot.com.  Type in the name of the brand or product in the search box for happy hunting!

Tip 3:  Holiday Specials at National Restaurant Chains

Many restaurant chains offer two for one deals for the holidays (Buy one meal get $5.00 off the second meal).  In addition, check local newspapers for coupons for at least $3-10 dollars off lunch or dinner entrees at Red Lobster or TGI Fridays.  Furthermore, check out Restaurant.com to purchase gift certificates, such as $25 gift certificates for only $10.

Yours in Savings,
