Black Friday Deals already!

2009-11-07T18:08:00.000-08:00

That's right. Black Friday ads are beginning to be leaked already!!
Take a look at the Sears 48 page ad and the Old Navy ad.

I am very excited about having enough time to peruse the ads and work out what deals are best.

In the past Black Friday was THE day to go shopping for deals. Last year I noticed that quite a few items were heavily discounted prior to Black Friday. Waiting until Black Friday may not be necessary!

If you are looking for some big ticket items or would like to stretch your dollar further, start looking at the Black Friday ads as they are posted and compare them to the current sales.

For those of you who have your kids on Black Friday check with the stores you are interested in shopping with what their price adjustment policy is. Two years ago I was able to buy all the kids toys at Toys R Us 2 days before Black Friday, I then returned on Black Friday at around 9am with 2 toddlers and got my price adjustment in under 5 mins.

Note that most stores will not do price adjustments on limited quantity items.

A lot of stores are also starting their ads on Thanksgiving or Black Friday online, prior to the stores opening. It is worthwhile checking out the store and item/s you are interested in to see if you can get that special item. If you live on the west coast you can start your online shopping very early and still have time to get to the physical stores for those in-store only specials.

Do you have any Black Friday shopping secrets you would like to share?

Host a party and save big on your favorite products

2009-06-11T23:26:00.000-07:00

A lot of direct sales companies provide incentives to hostesses for having a party in their home. eg. Tupperware, Arbonne, Tastefully Simple.

All you have to do is invite some friends over and an Independent Consultant will come to your home and do a presentation about the products. Your consultant will be able to explain what free or discounted host gifts you are eligible for.

Each company and potentially each consultant will have some great ideas for party themes. eg Mom/daughter make overs, spa treatments, wrap parties

Don't have the time or interest in hosting a party but would like to save some money on your favorite products? Talk to your consultant and find out if you can have a Catalogue party. You hand out catalogues and order forms to friends, family or colleagues and collect orders by a specific date.

As an example, here are the current benefits of hosting an Arbonne party:

Each $150 retail sale order receives the opportunity to purchase the NutriMinC® RE9® Body Care System in a drawstring Host Gift Bag, an $92 value, for only $25 or the Seasource Detox Spa Soak Set, an $115 value, for only $35.

Each $250 retail sale order receives the opportunity to select $100 SRP of products for only $20. A $500 SRP order can select $200 of products for $40, and so on, and so on. Click on one of the options below to begin purchasing from this special offer.

These benefits are in addition to the Purchase with Purchase options that Arbonne offers all their customers.

So the next time you need to stock up on products from a direct sales company consider hosting a party first.

Inch Loss

2009-05-18T20:47:00.000-07:00

For those people who struggle with weight loss or even those stubborn few inches on the belly or inner thigh, the thought of liposuction has probably crossed your mind.

Maybe you excluded it because or cost, pain or recovery time; or are just saving up until you can afford it.

What if there was a safer, less invasive way for you to lose those stubborn inches, when and where you need it, and for a lot less $$$.

The Ultimate Body Wrap from It Works has helped a friend of mine Sheri has lost 28.5 inches, 10 pounds and has gone from a size 22 to a 16 in just 6 weeks and she is not alone in her weight loss journey. Men and women alike are seeing great
results with the products.

Body wrapping has no down time and you can see the results in as little as 45 minutes.

Wraps can be purchased here in sets of 4 or more. If you would like to save some money I recommend becoming a Loyal Customer as you save a lot of money this way.

If you would like to try just 1 wrap for just $20 USD before you take the plunge, send me an email at rebeccafdoll@gmail.com

How to afford your Mortgage

A lot of things have happened to the economy in the past few years and a lot of people are now behind on their mortgages or they are running out of savings and wondering how they will pay in the future.

Did you know that you do not need to be behind on your mortgage to get your mortgage modified?

You don't need one of those companies to help you.

The government has their own site that spells out all the details and walks you through what you need and what the programs are about.

Early Halloween Celebrations at Legoland

2008-09-29T22:24:00.000-07:00

If you have read my blog before you know I am always looking at ways to save money.

We are heading to LEGOLAND on vacation shortly and are going to buy a 3 month ticket from Costco in Carlsbad for $51.99 (adult) and $42.99 (child). Our tickets must be converted to a 3 month pass on our first entry to the park, but we will be paying less than the cost of a single day ticket if we purchased at the park.

As we are staying in the area for a week, we can decide how long we want to stay each day. Normally this can be limited a lot by the short operating hours at LEGOLAND which are 10am to 5pm Thursday thru Monday.

For the month of October LEGOLAND is staying open until 9pm on Saturday nights!

If you are already in the park then you can stay until 9pm. If you just want to attend the Brick-or-Treat Party nights, you can purchase a special ticket for $35 for admission after 5pm.

LEGOLAND members can invite friends and family for $25 on Saturdays in October.

For more information visit http://www.legoland.com/california.htm

I emailed LEGOLAND about the special event ticket prices and being a member to receive the information about family and friends savings. Contact LEGOLAND CA

Save on Dental, Chiropractic, Vision, Prescription or Medical costs

2008-06-25T19:10:00.000-07:00

Do you have an insurance plan with high deductibles?

Does you plan cover dental, chiropractic or vision?

No insurance?

How would you like a discount plan (not insurance) where you know before you go to the doctors how much you will pay? How about getting a discount on your teeth cleaning more than twice a year? 25% to 80% savings on dental procedures performed by a Program dentist.
Special savings on specialist work such as braces, oral surgery, root canals, gum treatment and children's dental work.

You don't have to agree on a price with the doctor, that is already done for you by the Plan administrators. You just pay for the services on the day they are rendered.

With Dental, Chiropractic and Vision at only $19.95 per month for an entire household it's worth taking a look.

For our family the savings are greater than what our insurance coverage offers.

10 Easy Ways to Save Over a Grand on Gas

2008-06-17T22:47:00.000-07:00

Here is an extract of an article By Sean Tucker I found online on how to save on GAS. I hope this helps!

According to the mileage book in my glovebox, I averaged about 21 miles per gallon in May. So far in June, I'm at 26.

New, more fuel-efficient, car?

Nope, I'm commuting in the same old Volvo S60 that has seen better days. Same dent in the right rear door. Same old Cheerios wedged under the child safety seat in back. (Yeah, I know. I'll get to it, Honey).

So how did I do it? I'm trying to learn to drive more efficiently, and little by little, it's working. With a few simple changes, you can easily squeeze more gas mileage out of the car you're already driving.

A note on the calculations:
Your mileage will vary. Governments and automakers estimate fuel mileage savings by percentage -- do x and you'll get five percent better fuel mileage. I wanted to know what they meant in real dollars, so I used the average mileage Americans actually got from their cars in 2007 (22.4 mpg, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics) and boosted it by the percentage each tip should gain. I've assumed you spend 55 percent of the time driving in the city and 45 percent driving on the highway. I borrowed those assumptions from the formula EPA uses to calculate the mileage of new cars.

Using the average price of a gallon of gas as of June 12 ($4.05, according to AAA) and assuming you drive 15,000 miles a year (according to EPA estimates), I calculated what each tip would save in a year. The numbers aren't a perfect prediction -- I have no idea what you drive, or what's in your trunk -- but they do provide an interesting perspective. Here are ten easy ways to put the math to the test and put some more cash in your wallet.

1. Get that "Check Engine" Light Checked Out:
Possible Savings: Off the charts

2. Check Your Tire Pressure:
Possible Savings 133.9 gallons/year ($542/yr)

3. Change Your Air Filter:
Possible Savings 60.9 gallons/yr ($247/yr)

4. Drive 60 on the Highway, Not 75:
Possible Savings: 57.8 gallons/year ($234/yr)

5. Turn Off the A/C:
Possible Savings 31.9 gallons/yr ($129/yr)

6. Get Your Engine Tuned:
Possible Savings 25.8 gallons/year ($104/yr)

7. Drive Calmly in the City:
Possible Savings: 17.9 gallons/yr ($73/yr)

8. Lose Weight:
Possible Savings 13.1 gallons/yr for each 100 pounds you remove ($104/yr)

9. Lose the Roof Rack
Possible Savings 13.1 gallons/year ($53/yr)

10. Change Your Oil on Time
Possible Savings 6.6 gallons/year ($27/yr)

How Much Can You Save?

If you follow the tips above, that's $1,514 less you could spend on gas in the next year. Though it's a rough estimate, it shows you what small changes in your habits -- most of which you can make for free -- could do for your wallet.

How to save on electricity during the summer - SCE

2008-06-05T18:24:00.000-07:00

If you have Southern California Edison you have the option to sign up for the SCE Summer Discount Plan.

The basis of the plan is that a control box is installed on your air conditioning unit or units. This allows SCE to temporarily turn off your unit during periods of peak usage. This box remains on your unit until your move or sell or that you no longer wish to participate in the program.

There are 6 options available to choose from that will give you savings of between

Up to $25 and
Up to $200

How to save on entry to Legoland

2008-05-29T20:36:00.001-07:00

If you have young kids the thought of taking them to an amusement park for a whole day can be quite daunting. With the price of tickets though you often feel you have no choice but to cram as much into one day as possible.

There are a few ways to save money on entry to Legoland.
1. Get a coupon from your local grocer during a promotional period and save on a single day entry; OR purchase a single day ticket from Costco online.

2. If you live locally and think you will go often enough then you could purchase an annual pass.
There are quite a few options available and you can research then on the legoland website.

3. Buy a 3 month ticket from Costco, either online or at selected stores. This ticket must be converted to a 3 month pass after first entry to the park, but at $51.99 (as of May 2008) it is cheaper than a one day ticket purchased directly from Legoland.

4. If you are in the San Diego area and want to visit multiple attractions in 7 days or less, then look into the Go San Diego pass. It includes entry to Legoland and a lot of other attractions.

How to save on banking

2007-11-29T21:50:00.000-08:00

I needed an account that I could put a little extra aside and I didn't want to pay a monthly fee. Washington Mutual has a free checking account that I have now had for a few years and I love it. I don't have to worry if there is enough money in the account or if I am in between jobs with no direct deposits. WaMu has internet banking and electronic statements available.

How to save on Shoes

2007-11-28T22:22:00.000-08:00

If you have children I highly recommend buying shoes on sale. I try to pay 50% or less of the ticketed price. This can be done during the season if you look out for the sales. I shop for young childrens shoes at Kohls, payless or Mervyns. I have found OshKosh shoes, and characters sneakers as low as $6.

If you are looking for more high end shoes and live near any Outlet Mall I strongly recommend checking out OshKosh and StrideRite. Both stores regularly have shoes at 50% off the regular retail price. During sale or clearance time it is possible to save even more.

For those teenagers or husbands whose feet just keep growing, Zappos has come highly recommended. They have free shipping in both directions.

If you are good at estimating childrens growth patterns or feet have stopped growing, I buy shoes for the next season or the next year if I see a good deal or the shoes could become a favorite.
