I spent today with a plumber cleaning out a backed up sewer line at one of my rental proprieties. This is one chore that I couldn’t do myself but there has been many projects that I have done myself with help of my local Home Depot store. The last job I did was replace a toilet. It went smoothly with help of a Do-It-Herself Workshop last year teaching me how to redo your bathroom. This February learn how to install Crown Molding on February 16 starting at 6:30pm. My Home Depot does a great job teaching along with freebie drinks and snacks. I personally will try a project and if it doesn’t work out I call a professional. I always say give it a shot especially to replace a faucet or even a toilet. There are many professionals at any home improvement store that will answer any questions. Don’t feel embarrassed asking that what they are there for.

When I talk to people they tell me they never see the sales that I see. I tell them you just have to look and don't be afraid to step up and ask. This week I was in San Francisco visiting my husband he is out there for work. He has a cute apartment but the one item he wanted was a couple of chairs. We didn't want to go buy more stuff that we will need to get rid of when he is done so we waited on the chairs. I stayed at the apartment one morning while he was working and I looked outside as the neighbor was putting four beautiful chairs on the sidewalk. I ran down and asked her if I could have the chairs she smiled and said they are all yours. I did have to carry each chair up three flights of stairs - cardio for the day but was my husband surprised when he came home. Just goes to show you that you never know when a deal is going to come your way.

At the beginning of every year I stress now is the time to get yourself Financially Fit! We all vow to lose weight and become healthier but getting our finances fit should be a major concern to your well-being. Some financial facts that the government has tallied are frightening. The United States has the lowest national savings rate in the industrialized world. The average family saw its credit card debt grow by 53 percent during the 1990s. In 2006, 617,660 Americans filed for bankruptcy. These are some facts that get me worried. Let’s start 2012 off by being responsible for our money. Take the time by setting up a budget. Know how much money is coming in and how much is going out. For many people this can be an overwhelming task, ask a friend. Sit down with a friend who will have a nonobjective viewpoint to help you bring your debt down. Start by getting yourself prepare for anything that comes your way. Each month do a couple of tasks to bring you closer to become Financially Fit!

January:
• Let’s set up a budget. A free budgeting worksheet is available at www.financialfitness.org

• Update 2012 cost-of-living adjustments for 401 (k) and individual retirement accounts (IRA).

Your local banks have financial advisors that will help you determine what is the best way for you to plan for your retirement.

• Now is the time for high school seniors to finish college scholarship applications.

• Enroll in Kentucky Saves at www.kentuckysaves.org. Receive monthly American Saver Newsletter and e-Wealth Coach Series along with lots of information to help you survive in these economic times.

February:

A selection of student artwork will be displayed in the state capitol during Kentucky Saves Week. Check out details at www.jumpstart.org/states-kentucky.

• Compare actual January expenses to your personal budget and make adjustments.

March:

• Take the 5% challenge at www.feedthepig.org. Determine what dollar figure you need to put away every month and make that commitment.

• Corporate tax returns are due. Visit www.irs.gov for forms and filing information.

• Obtain the free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for 2012 from your high school guidance counselor, or visit ww.fasa.ed.gov. Deadline to submit is June 30, 2013.

• Your Federal Income Tax return is due on April 15 to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Visit www.irs.gov for forms and online filing information. This is also the last day to establish or contribute to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) in 2011 and file partnership returns.

• Check out your local Walmart store where free preparation of the simple tax forms will be made available at more than 3,000 stores nationwide.

May

• Take the time to deter identity theft by cleaning out your wallet or purse. Limit the amount of confidential information in your wallet. Only carry the identification, checks, credit cards or debit cards you really need. Social Security cards are best keep elsewhere in a safe place.

• Make copies of the front and back of all the cards. This will help you to report a loss or request a new card.

• Review your credit report. Call up your credit card accounts and bank to report any unauthorized charges. You then must follow up on any phone calls to your card issuer with a letter disputing the transaction. “Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you must dispute unauthorized charges appearing on your credit card statement in writing within 60 days after it was sent to you” noted Joni Creamean, Chief of the FDIC’s Consumer Response Center.

June

• Look for ways to save money by making your house more energy efficient. Now that the weather is nice walk around your house making sure your windows caulking is fine and everything looks in good shape.

• Go Green. Going green not only saves the environment but also helps you save money. Invest in reusable products like batteries and bags. Shop at second hand stores. Fix up your old things before you run out to buy new ones. Get a free static window cling for your car that says Bring Your Own Bag to remind you to bring your reusable bag into the store. http://www.conservingnow.com/content/get-free-static-window-cling-your-car

November

• Review your pre-tax flexible spending accounts against your actual expenses and increase or decrease withholdings for 2013.

• Give thanks this Thanksgiving by contributing to your favorite charity. The donation will help others and put money in your wallet at tax time.

• Look for ways to reduce your prescription costs. Meijer Pharmacy offers Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, SMZ-TMP, Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin and Penicillin VK for free with doctor’s prescription.

One of the top ways of saving money is to be organized. Think of how many times you needed toilet paper and ran to the store to pay full price. Just like a boy scout being prepared will save you lots and lots of money. In past post I mentioned going out and buying your wrapping paper, gift bags, bows and Christmas decorations now. I always go back and remember what I used for this past season and what needs to be replaced. I have a box that is full of gift bags, tape, ribbon, cards, and especially gift card holders. Getting them now for 75% off or 90% off will be a huge savings but having them already on hand will also make the holidays less stressful. Don’t rule out getting presents for birthdays at Christmas sales. Yesterday I bought beautiful spa socks and spa cremes in a nice basket(didn’t look holiday at all) for 75% off. I always like to have a supply of little gifts for a nice hostess gift or just someone’s birthday you forgot about.

I laughed when I watched the new show “2 Broke Girls” last week. The show is about a rich girl whose father is in jail for embezzling people’s money ultimately making her family broke. She is now a waitress trying to make ends meet last week she discovers coupons. At first she is ashamed to be seen using coupons but when she sees how much money she can save she is hooked. When I was growing up there was a stigma that if you used coupons you were poor. Now when shopping you will see many women and men walking around with their coupon binder or coupon folders in their shopping cart. Many of us have come to conclusion that not using coupons is really throwing your money away. My favorite place to find coupons is the Sunday paper but there are other avenues to get more coupons. Different stores have electronic coupons that you can load right on the store’s loyalty card and mobile coupons that load on your smartphone. To load digital coupons on your Kroger Plus card just go to www.kroger.com and register your card then you will be able to click on a coupon which will automatically be deducted from your total at the register when you purchase the qualifying product. There are two more sites that also let you load ecoupons onto your Kroger Plus card they are www.shortcuts.com and www.cellfire.com . I do want you to remember that you cannot use a paper coupon with an electronic coupon and the electronic coupon will be deducted first. One other downfall is an electronic coupon will not double. So load your coupons wisely. RiteAid just introduced their new program called load2card. This allows Rite Aid Wellness plus members to load, manage and redeem digital coupons via their wellness card. Just go to www.riteaid.com and register your wellness card and start adding savings right to your card. Now one of my favorite stores to use mobile coupons is Target. Get deals sent to you twice a month and redeem them at the register right from your phone’s screen. Send HELP to 827438 for information or STOP to 827438 to end. You could receive up to 5 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply. The internet has given us the opportunity to print coupons right from home. If you look at your Sunday paper’s inserts you will see that each insert has a website where you can also print off additional coupons. The inserts we usually get are www.redplum.com and www.smartsource.com. A couple of other websites for coupons are www.coupons.com and www.couponnetwork.com these are reputable coupon sites where you will not get a fraudulent coupon. When printing a coupon off the internet make sure it has a barcode, expiration date, says manufacturer coupon along with little dots in the expiration date box. Remember sometimes if it is too good to be true it probably is a fake. These sites will also only let you print two copies of a coupon. I always tell everyone coupons are everywhere if there is a product that you like go to their website 80% of the time they will offer a coupon for example www.kelloggs.com have many printable coupons available. Now into the next generation of couponing http://SavingStar.ojrq.net/c/21545/17146/758 Saving Star. Saving Star gives you the option of loading your stores loyalty cards for example: CVS Extracare card, Kroger Plus Card and Rite Aid Wellness card and linking ecoupons to your stores cards. When you use your loyalty card and purchase an item that you have loaded an ecoupon for, it will automatically add that coupon amount to your Saving Star account. When you have reached the minimum of $5 you can have that amount sent to a Pay Pal account, Amazon.com gift card, right to your bank, or American Forest.org charity account. You will not see a deduction to your bill. The plus to this is you will be able to use a paper coupon plus use your ecoupon from Saving Star. Come see me at The Fayette Mall on January 13 from 4pm to 8pm and January 14 from 10am to 3pm where I will be demonstrating SC Johnson’s new product All-In-One Cleaning System while giving away free refill samples.

This is going to be a little work but will be worth it for any Kroger shopper. Go to www.kroger.com and click on save more with digital coupons. Add any P&G coupons to your card. Tell 4 friends, and P&G will instantly load an additional $4 to your shopper card. Use this with the mega deal for a huge savings. Remember you cannot use a paper coupon and a digital coupon for the same items and the digital coupon will come off first. Also digital coupons do not double.
Load the $2 Tide coupon, $3 Pantene coupon, $1 Gain coupon and $1 Charmin coupon and it should cover you. I have not tested this yet but it is right on their website so it should work.

I also want to mention about the deal I posted for the Visa Vanilla Gift Card. I think Rite Aid has pulled item from their $20 +UPs reward deal. I would advise not to try it. Sorry. Unfortunately good things do have to come to an end.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average American
family of four spends $8,513 per year on groceries- averages out to $709 per
month. That breaks down to $177 per person a month. Many of us blow our budget
even further on restaurant meals. Let’s start 2012 saving on your groceries
along with personal items. Today’s paper has over $200 worth of coupons making
this a big haul to start cutting coupons. I would love to tell you that you can
save $100 of dollars and it won’t take you any time at all. That is not the
case. When starting your coupon journey you need to be organized. When you spend
time cutting your coupons spend time organizing them in an accordion style file
by categories. Remember everyone’s file is going to be different. I don’t have
any babies so I don’t have a baby category but I do have pets so I have a pet
category. What you need to do is make it easy to find a coupon when you need to.
You will get very frustrated if you know you have a coupon for that product on
sale but can’t find it. Do not assume that you won’t need a coupon when you
enter a store. Bring your coupons with you at all times. You will be very
surprised how many times you go to a store and a manager has marked down an item
because they have too many allowing you with a coupon get that item for free. It
is interesting how many people think that something’s wrong with the product or
the price marked must be wrong because the item can’t be that cheap. Is one
store better than other stores? The store I frequent most doubles my coupons up
to 50 cents every day, I feel that is the best value for my coupons. Remember
using a coupon for an item on sale plus being doubled is an added bonus. Don’t
forget about your local pharmacy stores like CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens for
food, cleaning items and personal products. Using loyalty cards along with other
reward programs combined with coupons can give you huge savings on items. Here
are some ways to use your week’s coupons for high value savings.

Check out some Couponing 101 tips.
1. Most stores will let you use a store coupon along with a
manufacturer coupon for one item.
2. To tell a manufacturer coupon the UPC code will start with the
number 5.
3. Check out your store’s coupon policy. Because of the TLC show
Extreme Couponing most stores have posted their policies on their website along
with printed copies at the customer service desk.
4. Maximize the Buy 1 Get One Free deals. You can typically use 2 coupons for a B1G1 deal. For
example, if Quaker Oatmeal is on sale Buy One at $2.50, Get One Free and you
have 2 $1.00/1 coupons, use 2 coupons. You will get 2 boxes of oatmeal for .50.
5. Check out store that price match.
Walmart and Target will match sale prices from other stores. Also ask your store
if they will use a competitors coupons for example Staples will let you use
coupons from Office Depot or OfficeMax.

Is it worth the time to clip coupons? By using coupons and sales you very easily can
get 50% off your shopping trip at your local grocery store. Fayette County
Libraries have partnered with me to help all of you learn how to save money.
Starting with my first class this January 18th at the Village Branch,
2185 Versailles Road at 6pm. The library will have an interpreter that night. In
February I will be at the Tates Creek library on the 5th at 2pm and
in March at Beaumont Branch on the 26th at 6:30pm. Call (859)
231-5500 for reservations also bring your unused coupons for a coupon swap after
class.

A friend wrote a letter and said all she wants for Christmas is for all her friends and family to be happy. I wish all my readers which I think of as my friend a happy holiday but true personal happiness. Merry Christmas!

The day is here no more holiday spending. When everyone was opening your gifts did you see the wide eyes of surprise and glee that you expected? At the end of the day did you have a bout of buying remorse? Buyer’s remorse is basically a self-induced, purchase related guilt trip. It is said that you will experience these guilt trips many times in your life. Let’s think back why you purchased the items you did. I am talking about those high ticket items that you were not planning on buying until you walked into the store and saw the display. I know everyone would like to get the biggest and the best but are you really just trying to beat the other gift givers. Many of us believe that when you give something expensive it will make up for any misgivings you have done or said throughout the year. You can stop yourself from ever having buyer’s remorse with a few simple steps.
1. If you are purchasing something for over $100 wait and think about it. Maybe ask a friend or your spouse not for permission but for some advice. They will be honest with you by telling you if you really do need to have it.
2. Research your purchase before you buy it. Assess its benefits, understand what you need and make sure it fits into your budget.
3. Is it an emotionally charged purchase? Ask yourself why you are buying it. Is it because you want to reward yourself or maybe you are having a bad day. If that is the reason put it back it won’t make you feel better the next day.
4. Once again work from a list. This will stop any impulse buying.
I myself have fallen to buyer’s remorse the worst one is the people at the kiosks in the mall. Yes, I bought the hand soap and I can’t tell you why. I have learned from my mistakes but I will return my purchases if I can unfortunately not the hand soap. If you buy the item bring it home and wait a day to open the package or remove any tags. The next day re-look at your purchases to see if you still want them. If you can’t return them you can always re-gift the item. What this means is maybe you don’t really need it but you know of someone whose birthday is coming up that would love it. Be creative and get rid of your guilt items. Once you have decided on your item and made your purchase get out of the store! Don’t look around and don’t spend the next week trying to find a better price. You bought it, did your research and you can feel good about it. Enjoy the fruit of your labors or the gifts that you have given to others. Happy Holidays.

Based on a 1960 family tradition, Christopher Pop-In-Kins was created in 1984 by Flora Johnson of Atwater, Ohio. With 25 years of continuous marketing, Christopher Pop-In-Kins remains one of the oldest, most loved Christmas elves available today. In late November, Santa sends Christopher Pop-In-Kins into the Children’s World to visit boys and girls and share in the excitement of the holiday season. Each night, while children are asleep, Christopher “pops” to a new location in the house. In the morning, the search is on. Who will be first to find Christopher’s newest hiding place? On Christmas Eve, Christopher pops back to the North Pole to tell Santa Claus about his young friends and his new adventures in the Children’s World. Bookset includes a poseable Christopher Pop-In-Kins Character Figure, a book and a storage case.

One of my favorite holiday shows is A Charlie Brown’s Christmas. What a great message of simplicity by looking at his small tree and how it was transformed into something beautiful. What does it take to live simply? At the end of the month having money left over when you pay all your bills will accomplish one phase of this task. You and your family do have to give up on some luxuries but not on everything. Let’s start by using the envelope system. Lots of families use cash for all of their purchases. Write on several envelopes “Groceries”, “Entertainment”, “Clothing” “Gas” and “Miscellaneous” then put in the amount of cash that you have budgeted for the month. When the cash runs out you will have to get creative with what you already have. Instead of going to the movies check out the free DVD’s available at the library. If you look in your pantry I am sure you will find plenty of ingredients to make a nice dinner. Clothing is one item that we have plenty of resources to get high end products for low prices between Goodwill, Salvation Army plus many consignment stores you can get an inexpensive outfit for any occasion. It is hard to find gas deals but do sign up for any reward programs that gas stations offer to give you at least 3 cents off a gallon. Doesn’t seem like much but it does add up. Taking this baby step will allow you to see where your money actually is going. The next step is deciding what you can go without. Living a life of necessity can range from going without that Coach bag to growing your own food. I tell people that all of this can’t happen fast but slowly moving towards a goal can be rewarding in your pockets along with giving you a sense of accomplishment. This summer grow a little container garden if you don’t want to start big. The University of Kentucky Arboretum teaches classes on the basics of gardening. Check out their free or low cost classes available every month at www.ca.uky.edu/arboretum or call (859) 257-9339 for more information. Living simply can just be taking one item you are not using any more and repurposing it to be used for something else. Last year I took my used plastic coffee cans and wrapped the Christmas tree lights around the can making it a snap to put lights on the tree this year. Imagine how much you save by washing out your plastic containers and using them to store other items. One of my favorite websites to visit is Freecycle.org every city seems to have a chapter to get stuff for free. I have received beautiful garden decorations from a women moving to Florida to giving away barn boards that I removed to the Wolf Run Wildlife Refuge Camp. Don’t ever think what would someone want with this remember you were the one to have it first. I want everyone to know that there is no right way to live out the simple lifestyle but taking that first step will start building lasting habits. As you take that first taste of the simple life it maybe a little sour but eventually ends up being a fulfilling feast.

Today only at Kmart is having a sale where thousands of items are buy one, get one 50% off! Shop great deals on toys, apparel and sleepwear, home, fine jewelry and more! Also, don’t miss out on Double Coupons up to $2 for shop your way reward members only. $25 minimum purchase requirement in Drug and Grocery. Limit 5 coupons per customer per day, see store for details. Call your local store to see if they are participating. I have a copy of the list but in KMart standards it is hard to follow. http://www.kmart.com/ue/home/4_4%20Double%20Coupon%20Event.pdf

Kmart Double Coupon “Rules”:
*Limit 5 per customer per day
*You must be a member of the Shop Your Way Rewards program AND the cashier MUST swipe your reward’s card at the beginning of your transaction!
*$25 minimum in drug & grocery purchase required (in the past this has been BEFORE coupons)
*Does not include Kmart Store Coupons or Kmart Pharmacy Store Coupons (i.e. Kmart coupons will NOT be doubled)
*If you are not currently a Kmart Shop Your Way Rewards card member, do NOT stress! There are 3 simple ways to become a member:
1. Go to the Customer Service Dept at your local Kmart or Sears store and request a card; you will be able to sign up and receive your card immediately (this is obviously the best option if you have a store close by)!
2. Call the Shop Your Way Rewards Card dept at 1.800.991.8708; they will take all your information over the phone and then a card will be mailed to you (the card typically takes 6-8 weeks to arrive).

Frugal Column December 11, 2011

2011-12-12T09:44:00.000-08:00

I know you have your mind focused on shopping and all the other chores you have to do to get ready for the holidays but don’t forget 2011 is almost over. There are many tasks that you should complete for tax reasons and basically just to get ready for 2012. Let’s put these tasks on the top of your list so you will start 2012 with a clean slate.

1. Make your house energy-efficient. Purchase energy efficient qualifying products and 10% of the cost up to $500 or a specific amount from $50-$300 can be claimed. The improvements must meet federal energy-efficiency standards to qualify for the credit. Get twice the bonus if you are purchasing energy efficient products from Home Depot buy a gift card at Kroger’s to receive 4 times the points toward gas. http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=tax_credits.tx_index

2. Contribute to an IRA. The maximum tax-deductible contribution to an Individual Retirement Account for 2011 is $5,000, $6,000 if you are age 50 or older. (The maximum contribution to a 401(k) plan in 2011 is $16,500, $22,000 if you are age 50 or over.) If you don’t have an IRA in place you need to open one by December 31. You can contribute to your IRA until April. Talk to your bank they will help you set up the appropriate account. http://taxes.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=taxes&cdn=money&tm=15&gps=220_568_1091_690&f=10&tt=13&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc451.html

3. Spend your Flexible Spending Account. If you have money set aside in a flexible spending account, you have until December 31 to spend it.

4. Check out your medical expenses for the year. You can deduct medical expenses on your federal tax returns but they need to exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Add up all your expenses from eyeglasses, over-the-counter medical supplies, insurance premiums and long-term care insurance. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p502/index.html

5. Make Charitable Contributions. Find a qualified non-profit organization to donate cash or make a gift with your credit card. You need to receive a letter of acknowledgment from the organization specifying your donation amount. You can go through your house for donations but you can only deduct the fair market value of the property get receipt for your donations. http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=106990,00.html

6. Change your important passwords once a year. Many of us do most of our banking, bill paying and more on our computer. Changing your password at least once a year will give an extra layer of protection.

7. Check your financial credit history. You can get a free copy of your credit history- everything the three major reporting agencies have in your file. Your credit history doesn’t include your credit score, but use this information to check it for accuracy. https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp

8. Look over your budget. Now is the time to see how you have done all year with your budget. If you haven’t done a budget 2012 is the time to start.

If you haven’t heard of University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture Extension Office you don’t know what valuable information you have been missing. What is Cooperative Extension? Kentucky’s two land-grant universities, the University of Kentucky and Kentucky State University, serve as partners in conducting educational programs through Cooperative Extension. Its vision is to provide education and resources to build better communities and improve quality of life. Through continuing educational classes, informative staff members and lots of instructive materials you can have many of your questions answered from canning, energy efficiency, debt reduction to believe it or not a question asked to Diana Doggett the Family and Consumer Agent “Can I still cook my turkey if I left it in the car overnight?”. The Extension Office is even getting on board to help Kentuckians become less sedative by offering in many counties the program Second Sunday where everyone can come together to do some type of physical activity. It was a tremendous success with more programs coming in the future. Check out their website for all the upcoming events for your county. I personally just joined to become an Extension Homemaker. In do so for just $8 a year I get access to many valuable and fun programs. They offer programs on canning, cooking, quilting, holiday greenery along with a new Coupon Club. As a homemaker you will have the opportunity on the first Monday of each month to join other club members like me to discuss budgeting, fiscal savings, latest news in coupon usage along with much more. This is a great way to get fellow Kentuckians together that want a better quality of life by listening to others personal journeys along with informative discussions. Call the extension office to register or to become a homemaker (859)257-5582.
Become a member of Kentucky Saves to receive information on how to save money and build personal wealth.

I just found this beer rebate at Kroger's. This is a great rebate that they usually do for the holiday season. Purchase $50 gift certificate and receive $10 mail in rebate. Last year I bought a Kroger gift card so basically I bought $50 worth of groceries for $40. Kroger also has a promotion going on if you purchase a gift card you get 4 times the amount of gas points. For example purchase $50 qualifying gift card (Kroger's isn't one) get 20 cents off a gallon of gas at Kroger.
This is a great bonus get $10 back on gift certificate and get 4 times the points for your gas.

I am rich. During this holiday season I want you to think how rich you actually are. Every week I tell you how to save money but does money take you one step closer to being rich? In our society we associate having actual tangible goods as wealth. Isn’t that what has pushed our economic problems to the limits? Think about the day when you felt the richest. It wasn’t the day you received that raise but the day someone went just a little out of their way to make you feel better. I am very blessed because I have the opportunity to reach out to everyone helping them with my advice each week. It makes me feel like a millionaire when someone says I read your column and love the advice. The holidays are a wonderful time to reevaluate your wealth. Look at your family as a source of richness along with friends and colleagues. Spread your good fortune to someone else, reach out to one person and say Thank You.

What a great way to get money off at the pumps. Check out Kroger’s new holiday promotion when you purchase qualified gift cards you will accumulate quadruple fuel points. For example if you purchase a $50 gift card to Starbucks you will receive 200 fuel points making it 20 cents off a gallon at Kroger Fuel Center.

Are you ready for Black Friday the Superbowl of shopping! Just like playing in the big game shopping on this day will get your adrenaline pumping. Let’s go through a step by step attack plan. Right now you can go online to see what deals are coming up. Check out stores black Friday online ads to determine your game plan. Go through your Christmas list; match up the deals with the person. Prioritize the play. When you are bombarded that morning with crowds, door buster sales and salespeople your best offense is being ready for any situation. Remember your budget. Impulse buys will destroy you in this game. Figure out how much you will be spending that day on your deals and add a little extra for any discretionary purchases. Stick to your battle plan so there is no heartbreaking losses. On Thursday get in game ready condition. Go to bed early so you can bring your A-game. Pack yourself a pre-game snack with plenty of caffeine and protein. Pick the store that you most want to shop and be their early. If you are planning to get the ultimate score, plan on standing in line or even pitching a tent. Shoppers at some Best Buys or Walmarts get there at 11pm the night before. Invite a non-shopping teammate. This teammate can stand in line for you while you grab other things, or get snacks and coffee for you. They also will whip you into shape when you start spending over your budget. Feel the electricity in the air. Create your own bragging rights with family and friends. Some retailers are putting on a competitive edge now, and have started with online deals. Cyber Monday represents another deal saving squad. On the Monday after Thanksgiving you can get a cast of online sales from over 700 online retailers. Check out CyberMonday.com to plan your plays. Target even has a place to sign up for email offers and Cyber Monday specials on their website. Check out coupon and promotional codes to maximize your savings at retailmenot.com or promotionalcodes.com. Remember to factor in any shipping costs that might make that play not the best one. This game is not yours to lose. Check out all the ads in Wednesday’s paper. Put on your game face and give it your all to seal a victory.

New daily deals sites are popping up on the internet every day. These daily deal sites offer big savings on food and entertainment. What is the best way to take advantage of savings up to 90% these deals offer? Start by reading the fine print. Check the voucher for any restrictions like excluded dates and any extra charges the voucher doesn’t cover. Be cautious with vouchers when you need to schedule an appointment before the expiration date. You could be one of nearly 5,000 vouchers sold and everyone is trying to sign up for classes. About forty percent of all vouchers don’t get redeemed. When you are purchasing a voucher make sure it is for something you will use. Buying a voucher to try a new product or restaurant is fine if you remember you have it. Print out your vouchers and keep track of their expiration dates. Many of these deals can only be purchased on that day or until they are sold out. If you want to unload an unwanted deal check out www.couprecoup.com to sell it back or if you didn’t get the voucher you wanted they may have one for sale. Deal sites typically offer a refund or credit if you buy a voucher from a business that closes. With over 600 deal sites many are sites are going out of business and the merchant may honor the voucher. When I purchase a deal I always check the background of the business first by going directly to their website. This way when the voucher says $25 for $50 worth of merchandise you can verify that they actually have something that is priced at $50. If you spend more than the amount of the voucher you may not end up with a good deal. Don’t let the excitement of these deals lead you an impulse buy. Check out some of the most popular deal sites.

Groupon- This is the biggest deal site with over 115 million subscribers. http://www.groupon.com/r/uu952637

Living Social- Buy your voucher, then share a special link. If three friends buy, yours is free. https://livingsocial.com/redeem_invite/7773207-morris?ref=lnk
