A few quick tips for saving money on gifts

My wonderful followers have lent me ideas to share.

I mentioned in a previous post when buying gifts on-line to first Google the item or store with the words "coupon codes" or "discount codes" after it. For example, if you wanted to buy a sweater from L.L. Bean, first google: L.L. Bean Coupon code or L.L. Bean discount code. Sometimes you can find great discounts, and then go buy it for less!

One follower mentioned the site, http://www.retailmenot.com/ . If you go to this site and type in the name of the store you were going to shop at, you can find discounts including free shipping, 10% Off and more. It only takes a minutes and is worth a look before shoppping. Thanks Laura!

My other follower mentioned that if you are planning to buy gift certificates to restaurant to first look at http://www.restaurants.com/ where you can buy $20 or $30 gift cards for restuarants for half the face value. Not all restaurants are available but it is worth a look before paying full price. And after my post on how Experience Gift are great Green Gifts- these save you money and the enviornment! Thanks Lisa!
