I recommend starting to pick up things for Christmas and Hanukkah now. I really like giving gift baskets with great name brand items in them. No one needs to know that you were brilliant and frugal enough to score all the items for FREE! (unless you are like me and can’t keep your mouth shut about a great deal! lol!) Last year I picked up my gift baskets at Michaels Craft with a 40% off coupon.
We’ll also be posting toys sales and all kinds of deeply discounted things over the next several months. Please keep your receipt for anything you purchase. Come up with a system so that you know how to track it to the items purchased that day. If an item you purchase goes on sale for a better price then return the item for the deeper discount. Now you may be thinking “I’m not going to run out to the store for an extra $2.00 on an item” and that is true – I would not tell you to do that. However, with the holidays quickly approaching you’ll find yourself at more stores and if you see a post with an item at a better price than what you paid, just return it if you happen to be heading to that store that week. Remember that you aren’t going to go out of your way, but most of the time you’ll be doing your shopping in the stores you frequent anyway.
So that we can all work together, please send an e-mail to me about any sales or clearance items you find at the stores that are not listed on my blog. I will post the deals and give you credit. If we all share the information we can find more deals and save even more!
