Like to get a good deal when Shopping?

As a woman, I love to shop! But with all the concerns with the economy and the spiraling gas prices I have become a "go to" kind of person. I can find so many things for free or little cost it is unbelievable. I am here today to share a few of those with you all.



The first site is the mother of all sites that you will see me post about today, and in the future. You need to visit http://www.gottadeal.com/forums . The forums are split up so that you can navigate the type of deal you are looking for. The two forums that I frequent the most are the Online Hot Deals and the Offline Hot Deals. I have gotten free MP3 Players at Christmas time last year for all the teenagers in the family! I was able to snag a bunch of childrens sunglasses with popular catoon charecters on them for 1 cent and free shipping! Closer to Christmas, you will find out what is on sale before the black Friday sales papers are released! Planning ahead has made it so wonderful for me in the past two years. However, I have already finnished Christmas shopping for this year for less than 1/4 of the price!



The offline forum has had deals such as a $125 item at K-Mart clearanced for just $5 or $10, but it is not marked in the stores. When we find a good deal we will post to let others know about them and they can run out and find them too, in many cases!



This site will give you Free Sterling Silver jewelry http://www.silverjewelryclub.com/ . You can see 4 items at a time each 15 minutes and you only pay shipping and handling. I have several sets that I was able to get the ear rings, braclet, ring and necklace. Perfect for nieces or younger children. I buy these for gifts for birthday parties too!



Another saver I like to use is http://www.wqsb.com/ . They are located in Albertville and they have 1/2 price coupons for tons of restaurants, golf, tanning, etc. A good way to save money is to keep a watch on that site as well. If you frequent Huntsville or Gadsden check out some of the other radio stations as they offer thing like this as well.



The last site I will write about is the http://www.freecycle.org/ groups. You can give things away that are broken or perfect. I have no time or desire to have a Yard Sale. Love to shop them, but not have them! So I bag up the kids' clothes and give them away to someone who needs them. I post a wanted and get clothes they can use. I have given away a TV, new baby formula that our daughter could not take, clothes, clothes, and more clothes. It was started to keep things out of the landfills, nut I think it is a great way to help others. Just look at the area that is near you on the freecycle site, as there is one for each county!

Another site that allows trading, selling, giving and all is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nmccommunityads/?yguid=296080382 .



I love to save money. I love the thrill of finding good deals and passing them along to others. To me it is so satisfying to help others save money.
