Updates!

Hello all! I have been so busy with the Holiday that I have not had time to finish my new posts. I apologize for my lack of posting. I do have some new posts in the works that just need some fine tuning and fact checking, I like to make sure the information I share with you is accurate. These will be out sometime this week.

 I had some people say that they were having trouble leaving comments because they did not have an account, I changed the setting and you can leave a comment anonymously now.

I want to hear from you! How did your Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, or Cyber Monday shopping go? Get any spectacular deals? Please leave a comment and let me know what great deals you got!

Happy Couponing! : )

Shopping Local- Part 1

With Thanksgiving around the corner and Christmas on the horizon my brain has been locked on one thing, shopping. I have posted a lot about online shopping, we have talked a little bit about shopping at big box stores, and great daily deals have been posted. 

There is something that I feel should be addressed, though, and that is shopping locally. I would love to hear from you, my readers, how you feel about shopping locally. Here are some of the questions I am asking:

• What are some of the reasons you do or don't? 
• What do you feel are the pros and cons? 
• Do you currently shop locally or have you ever?
• If you don't, what would have to change to make you start?

I am looking for your feelings on this topic because I am in the process of writing a piece on shopping locally and want to know how you feel about local businesses or what things you wish to see change. I hope to hear from a lot of you so that I may share whatever knowledge I can with all of you.

Thank you in advance for your input! Happy Couponing! : )

Buying Gifts with Groupon.com

I absolutely love Groupon for gift shopping. I can usually cut my gift budget in half, and earn money back through Ebates! 

When I first told my husband about some items I wanted to buy off Groupon for Christmas presents he replied, "I don't want to give everyone cheap gifts!" Listen, these are not cheap gifts, these are smart gifts! When you look at something on the website it will tell you what it retails for. If you buy a pair of earrings, let's say, for $9.00 but they retail for $100.00 you are giving someone a $100.00 present (see below, the deal is going on now!). Just because you paid $9.00 does not make you cheap, it makes you smart or as I like to call it, Savvy!

Here are a list of some current good deals going on right now on Groupon.com. All of these gifts are UNDER $30!

• **White Topaz Stud Earrings- $9.00**
• Value- $100.00! | Ebates CB- $0.27
