Year End Savings in January

Many people think once the year is over, and December is gone that the sales and savings stop. This is simply not true. Most stores are in a massive inventory reduction mode to get rid of all the old product. This is not exclusive to discount chains. Most stores in the mall, and retail chains are also getting rid of their 2007 merchandise. The New Year brings new orders, new inventory and a major store clearance event. It doesn’t take much to find them either. Often you will see a huge red or yellow banner hanging on the outside of … Continue reading →

How Buying Gifts Each Month Can NOT Be Frugal

Creating a title for this article was difficult, because I always recommend that people purchase gifts throughout the year to make Christmas a bit easier on the budget, it is an extremely frugal thing to do. People tend to overspend when faced with the daunting task of shopping for everyone on their Christmas list in November and December. I still hold true to that, but I have a bit of advice while you are doing it. Typically I suggest assigning a person to each month, which means that person is shopped for during that month. However this year we did … Continue reading →

K-Mart Extra 30% Off Clearance +Coupon

The K-Mart in our area is probably on the bottom of the chain’s evaluation list. Their employees are clueless and the store isn’t very clean. It’s bad enough that I won’t even take the mystery shop there. I don’t remember it being that way when I was growing up. K-Mart was a great place to get school supplies, bicycles, and even clothes. We loved taking our allowances there and getting the latest CD, little toys, and other accouterments of childhood. The “Blue Light Special” was a good thing then. If the K-Mart in your area is still nice, here’s a … Continue reading →

Aeropostale Clearance + Save 50%

I’m fashion-challenged. I’ll admit it. Always have been, and I suspect that I always will be. To me, blue is blue. And don’t ask me what the difference is between old clothes and vintage clothes. When we were in high school, my sisters and I were stair-stepped. The middle sister, Jennifer, would pick out our outfits for the day and do our hair. Since Angela and I had no clue, we put ourselves into her capable hands. I don’t think I’ve looked that good since. My eldest daughter has that same well-developed sense of style, knowing what goes with what. … Continue reading →
