We talked some in our last post about saving money on your hotel room. Here are some tips on saving money on your shopping.
There were more sales going on than I’ve ever seen even around Christmas. They were also lots of coupons around, especially for visiting a store later (at Michaels we got a coupon for 20% off the next visit, another store we got a card that was good for between $50 and $500 off our next purchase).
1. Find out about any of the after you buy coupons from previous customers, so if I know I want to purchase two items from a store, I would buy the cheaper item and then use the coupon on the next visit.
2. Check the paper, online, in the store, manufacturers site for coupons.
3. Talk to people - ask them what kind of deals they have going on.
4. Comparison shop… even between stores with different locations.
5. If you’re not really shopping for a specific item (you’re just looking for clothes) then set a spending limit.
Have a great Thursday.
