Bring on the Price Wars!

It seems that the largest retailer in the world has been struggling to meet its financial quotas; what fantastic news for consumers! Since Wal-Mart has such a large portion of the market share, their price cuts will hopefully have the effect of slashing prices across the board at other retailers such as Target and department stores. In a practical sense, we should all be even more alert to shopping around, looking for coupons, and not settling for anything but the very best price.

I have mentioned in previous posts about searching for coupons for things you are going to buy anyway, and a friend (thanks, Allie) gave me another great coupon link: Coupon Mountain. There's no reason not to check sites such as these out before buying! Price cuts and a little homework can end up saving you some hard-earned cash. Just for example, here's a 10% off code for Target: TCRCPTAA. If you were going to get something there anyway, why not save 10%?

Just remember amidst the coupon frenzy, the best way to save money is not to spend it in the first place. Happy saving!

Not without coups.

Anytime you have any online shopping to do, I would heartily recommend checking out Current Codes for an always up to date list of current coupons and promotions for various vendors. I remembered to check the site recently and found one from Kodak Gallery that ended up saving me $18 on something that I was going to buy anyway. Fifteen seconds of my time is easily worth that much.
