My Best Money-Saving Holiday Tip

Holidays are busy. They're rushed. They're sometimes insane....full of parties & dinners. Full of gift-exchanges & unfortunately, sometimes, hurried impulse buys.

And that's my BIG tip. To try to avoid that last one. Never pay full price for something...ESPECIALLY during the holidays. Retailers know you need it, but they also know that there are tons of other big box stores selling the same item. So what do they do?, they put it on sale.

And that's what you wait for. For that sale.

But waiting means being organized, planning, & being patient.

You didn't have to be one of those people waiting in the walmart parking lot at 4:30 am (did you see me there?). There are still deals to be had! Just be sure you plan, make lists a'plenty, & be on the look out for sales (& online coupon codes!).

Now, another tip is to head over to this fabulous contest, at frugal.net. They're giving away a $500 giftcard to Walmart, which is sponsored by Nickelodeon. You must blog about your best holiday money-saving tip OR include it in your comment (at frugal.net). Good luck!
