Thanks for sharing your tips. I do agree with bulk grocery shopping. Not only does it save me money which I would otherwise have spent on retail, but it also saves up on gas. Trips to the store are less frequent.

Thanks again, and cheers! :)

Great tips on saving. With things so expensive these days every little bit helps. I wish I would have got in on the 70% off sale. I love a good bargain.

OR People could just give their kids a pair of scissors and a pile of burlap sacks and tell them to "design" their own clothes. Lol :o)

you know I agree with you on this 100% it is really hard to buy toys/electronics/gifts for the older kids. I found this really great site called wize.com and I had actually stumbled upon it through mahalo.com and it really helped. Especially when you are looking for a video game or even something of that kind for 9-12 year olds. I honestly though it was a life saver. You certainly make a great point that holiday shopping sometimes becomes a year around thing. TJ Max is actually a great place for buying clothes...I find it that even looking for clothes for kids at the end of the season the mark-down is great. Old Navy is also a great place!!Thank you again for the wonderful article!!!

I love your post! I am totally a money saving nut, so most of these topics already apply to me. For me to pay full price for an item is big- it has to be something I have been waiting a few months to buy and refuse to live without any longer. :)

I am totally in agreement about not buying at full price. I tend to shop clearance sales (Kohl's, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Target) I also buy useful things. I am the mean mom that does not buy any toys. As Jayden gets older, you will understand why! I have to check out some of the coupon spots you mentioned. I am a coupon junkie! Go to my blog to print out a coupon for a FREE tank top at Wet Seal. I took my girls to get one and they also got a B.O G. O. for a penny tanks that cost $3.21! Buying in the off season gives great value as well. Great post!

I agree with your contribution.

Holiday season is going to begin very soon and the Christmas is nearing by. So people like to shop a lot and buy gifts for their dear ones. But the problem is everyone wants to buy something because of this there is a long queue and crowd in many shopping malls.

You touched upon some really great points. I try to do all my shopping from clearance and sales racks throughout the year. It comes down to thinking ahead. I can't wait to try out Coupon Chief. That sounds like a really good program. My kids love Marshalls. My hubby found my son some Reeboks that he liked for only $17. Today I went to K-Mart and I found all types of clothes on sale with an additional 40% off. I was able to get lots of shirts for only $1.80! When I start seeing seeing clearance signs I start to think about what gifts I need for who. Thanks for a really great post.
