After holiday shopping deals and NBC 10! Show appearance

After the holidays is a fantastic time to buy holiday items, and necessities. You will find deals on everything from toys to gift wrap. You can also save a ton by shopping at stores that are discounted their already reduced merchandise. It may be a bit like a treasure hunt, but you can find things that are 70-90% off. Stores need this stuff GONE so they can make room for spring and summer wear.

My top 3 tips for after holiday shopping:

Make a list! So very important that you don’t impulse buy, you could save as much as 50% on your bill!
Buy what you NEED. If it’s not fulfilling a need it’s just more stuff, don’t clutter your life, it just leads to more spending.
If you are in debt (raises hand) shopping for deals is useless. You get more bang for your buck by paying off your debt. Dollar for dollar no discount will beat it.

Here’s a clip from this morning’s show.
