Keep It In Your Wallet
Does anyone else do this?
You go to the store to get food or whatever it is that you need and look for the best prices that you can. Even then, you still calculate, at the end, just how many hours you had to work to pay for those groceries or other items.
“Dang, that was 5 hours of work for that!”
Many of us work hard. About the last thing we want to do is part with what we earned from that hard work. But, there are things in life one must get and sometimes, it would be nice to get something fun or “just because”, as well. What’s the point in all that hard work if you never get to treat yourself to even something small?
The best way to treat yourself and not feel guilty about it later, is to save up the money you didn’t spend when you paid the bill. And the best way to save is to find the deals. And a great way to find deals is to visit Savings.com. You can find all kinds of deals at Savings.com.
For example, this year is the first year in ages that it actually feels like Christmas. The weather outside is cold and icy, (hopefully snow soon), smoke wafts from chimneys keeping the occupants warm and spreading a smell of comfort through the air, festive decorations have been put up by the town and some of its residents at their homes so I thought, “This year, because it FEELS like Christmas, I want to get a tree and get presents for the pets.”
One of the best places to shop for pet supplies is at Doctors Foster and Smith. I love that online store and I have shopped there a number of times. If I go to Savings.com first, I can get up to 50% off of some of the cool stuff available simply by activating a coupon. Fifty percent off! I can buy the pets toys and collars and meds if they need them and save the money I have worked hard for this past couple of months.
With the money I saved by activating the coupon at Savings.com, I can buy WARMER clothes at either JCPenney, or KMart or the store that sucks me in every time, Target. (You must pronounce it “Tar Jay”, (soft J).) Yah I got some warm clothes preparing for this winter season but the other day it was 9 degrees. Nine. Degrees. And the wind was blowing. It was a little painful. So if I’m going to be out there being all festive this holiday season, I’m going to need warmer clothes and not freeze to death trying to spread holiday cheer.
The best thing is that I can go through Savings.com and YET again! I can save more money while I shop at Target looking for the warmest coat they have.
Take a look around. They have deals not just on clothing and pets, you can find deals on grocery store items, home and garden, electronics, books, cell phones, etc. You can also use the “local” feature by putting in the search bar what you are looking for and then your zip code.
Sweet, eh?
So this year, the pets get Christmas and I get to stay warm because Savings.com wants me to keep more of my money and anyone who helps me do that is A-OK in my book.
