Holiday Money Savers

As it gets closer to Christmas, I am always looking for ways to save money.  So far, here a few things that I have been doing this holiday season...

Coupons-
It's simple.  I clip coupons regularly.  Each Sunday morning, I go through my coupon organizer and throw out expired coupons and add my new ones.  I save as much money as I can by buying items on sale and using a coupon. 

Target Debit REDcard-
LOVE IT!!! I got the Debit card so it is linked to my checking account.  No credit to pay off after the holidays.  I save 5% every time I shop at Target (which easily amounts to at least $5 each trip).  Plus, use it online and get free shipping plus your 5% off.  It's a no brainer.  If you go to Target and use your debit card, why not get a REDcard and save money while you are at it?

Ebates-
I have talked about it before but I just love Ebates!!! When you sign up, you get to choose a gift card deal.  I got the $10 Target card (can you tell I LOVE Target?) and received it at the same time that I received my first cash back check.  I got my first cash back check last month.  It is legit.  So check it out and sign up.  There are so many stores on there...and you can buy what you were planning on buying anyway but receive cash back.  It's great!
If you sign up, use me email as a referral (ktmanley04@aol.com)!

Amazon.com-
Amazon is the best.  I ordered a toy for my girls the other day.  It was almost $10 cheaper on Amazon and it was shipped the SAME day for no charge.  Shop from home...gotta love that!

Groupon and Living Social-
I love www.groupon.com or www.livingsocial.com.  I always get deals that I can use at some point in the future.  So when we are broke after the holidays, at least I know that my husband and I can go out to dinner using the Living Social deal I purchased months ago!

If anyone has any great money saving tips for the holidays (or for any time of the year), PLEASE share!! I just love good deals:)
