Immediately replace your five most frequently used classic light bulbs with more efficient bulbs to start saving money on your electricity costs. Over time you can begin to replace your other bulbs, the less frequently used ones, as they burn out.
Here are two energy efficient alternatives.
Here’s a quick plug for a site that is useful to me every year during this time. It’s bfads.net. They’ve got all the black friday ads from the top retailers around. It’s useful because you can see the deals going around and make a list of what you’re buying before you go shopping.
If you’re brave enough to shop with the masses on fri-sun after thanksgiving then it’s best to have a well thought out plan of where you’re going and what you’re buying beforehand. Nothing’s worse than window shopping on black friday.
Personally around this time I opt to buy a flat screen hdtv or a laptop because those are always discounted several hundred dollars.
If you don’t want to risk being trampled you can also shop online but the deals won’t be as food as some of those doorbreaker / limited quantities specials.
When it comes to looking stylish, expensive clothes isn’t everything. It’s more about accessorizing. Now if you buy a blouse or shirt at Target or Walmart, odds are other people will own it already and you’ll have the uncomfortable feeling of being in the same room as something else wearing the same thing. So the trick is to layer your clothes. For guys a dark long sleeve shirt under a light colored t-shirt does the trick. For girls, scarfs work wonders in adding style to your look. Skirts can be worn with leggings, necklaces can add flavor to a boring gray blouse, and layering 2 tank tops looks nice too.
Clipping coupons is always a good idea. If there are items you usually buy every week, odds are you can find a coupon for it. The sunday newspaper is a great place to find literally hundreds of dollars in savings. There are also online coupons available you can print out and take to the store. They add up over time. Look for double coupon days at the grocery store too.
When going to the grocery store, always have a shopping list with you when you go the the grocery store. Stick to it too. No impulse buys. Another good tip is to eat before going to the store, otherwise everything will look yummy.
