The holidays can be a difficult time. We're stretched thin for time AND money. Buying gifts, buying food, buying decorations...it can all be a little overwhelming. Here's a few easy and quick tips that will help you mange time, find the better deals and save a little money.
Do your research. Price check and compare. Some stores will offer a price adjustment if you purchase something and still have the receipt.
Clip coupons. It may seem time consuming but is worth it. I like to make a game out of it. I try to save more each time I go shopping. Now, be careful that you only buy products that you'd normally buy. Don't buy something you'll never use just because you have a $1.00 off coupon.
Get a twitter account. Tweets are easy and quick to read. Quite often, they have good links to amazing deals. A few of the folks I follow are @mommysavers and @retailmenot. Mommysavers is also a blog that you can read if you don't want to open a twitter account. You can see it at www.mommysavers.com.
Follow www.woot.com. There are some great deals on that website. One deal, one day.
Trust your instinct. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Go with your gut. You're a mom. You've got that instinct now.
Get creative with the leftovers. We'll be profiling good leftover meals in the next few weeks.
