Shopping on a Budget: Careful What You Throw Away
If it weren’t for being the holiday shopping season, I wouldn’t even look at store ads. I rarely buy anything new unless it is a special occasion. I am going to do a little bit of shopping on Black Friday, but not too much. Since I already made up my mind that I wanted to go to Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart alone, I automatically tossed all other store ads in the recycling bin.
I ended up pulling them out tonight to browse. I was curious and bored. The Bed Bath and Beyond advertisement has a save $5 on a $15 order and BonTon had a coupon that was $10 off an item over $10. These are a really good discounts. So, I have now added these stores to my Black Friday shopping.
So, the moral of the story is to be careful what you throw away, especially around the holidays. You may find more than good sales, but moneysaving coupons too.
