It's that's time of the year...

...to hang up your stockings, trim the tree & wrap the gifts! In the hussle & bussle of the holiday season, it's important to be as organized as possible. Gather up all your coupons and put them in 1 place, preferably a clear zip-lock bag. Remember that many online vendors are now accepting "promo codes" for holiday purchases, so go to Coupon Cabin or Coupon Sally (there are literally tons more to find!) for the best discounts! A friend just downloaded a $20 off coupon to Burlington Coat Factory...now we're talkin! As Santa would say, make a list (and check it twice) of the people you need to buy gifts for. You may even want to assign a monetary value to each to help keep your costs within budget. Afterall, it's not fun to go broke over the holidays, so plan, prepare & have fun while you're at it! Happy Holidays!

Get a handle on the holidays...

If you're like me, you've probably been receiving all kinds of holiday coupons, offers and communications on sales via snail mail and email. One tip that has helped me is to organize my coupons, is to place them into an envelope that I carry with me throughout the holiday season. When you're out and about, you can think through which stores you want to go to and then pull out the coupon as needed. This will cut down on trying to remember where you put the coupon and save you time & energy so that you can enjoy all the joys the holiday season brings! Happy Shopping!

Save a buck...

It's that time of year again....time for holiday shopping and dining out! If you're like me, saving a little money during time busy time is key. Some suggestions are to search for promotion codes online. A lot of companies are offering promo codes to drum up more holiday business. If you shop around, you can find up to 30% off discounts. Also, many stores are sending out their holiday catalogs offering free shipping and handling, as well as buy one, get the second one free! Some sites that have been particularly good are:
