The Best Time to Buy Anything!

I always love these articles! As a matter of fact, I usually print one out and hang it by my calendar in the event I have a special purchase to make.

It is written by LIFEHACKER and it has a great calendar as well as a well written article detailing the best times of the year to buy goods. They update it often, so you are sure to get the most current info!

Generating Income from your Closet!

I was faced with the dilemma of what to do with extra clothes in my daughter's closet when she moved away from home. I wanted to find a way to generate some extra money for her new adult living expenses, and since my neighborhood doesn't allow garage or yard sales I turned to the internet for research.

While I found a lot of online options, there were definitely different factors to consider. I researched quite a few, but I ultimately decided on POSHMARK - You can access this website via your computer, sign up & buy items, but if you want to become an active seller you will need to download their app. It is very user friendly, and you can quickly set up your closet and list items for sale. Although it was primarily set up to sell women's clothing and accessories, I have come across children's and men's clothing, pet accessories and housewares!

Because it is a very social media site, I have been learning that it is very important to be active on the site, gain a lot of followers, follow a lot of people and participate in the many online themed "parties" that are hosted daily. My closet is relatively small, but after several months I have sold several items. It is my understanding that if I can get to 4000 followers, that that is a good basis number to help me start gaining new sales!

If you are wondering how it works, a potential buyer can buy your item or make an offer, that you can accept, reject or counter. If the sale is mutual, the company will email you a prepaid shipping label, you package it up and put it into the mail! If you sell your item for over $15.00 you keep 80%. If it sells below, they subtract a $2.95 fee and you keep the balance. 

If you decide to sign up, please use this CODE NKLQC and you will receive an instant $5.00 credit to apply against a purchase! If you would like to see my closet, you can visit it HERE.

Happy selling!

Finding Discounts and Coupons!

Sometimes you are lucky enough to have the cashier point out to you that you have an opportunity to earn a free discount by taking a survey for the store you just visited.

As a general rule of thumb, we should all just make it a habit to check our own receipt to see if there is an offer available!

Today at Joann's Fabrics the salesperson informed me that if I took the survey I could get a 50% off coupon emailed to me! Since I'm in there at least once a week, and I usually only clip a 40% off coupon from the paper, I made sure to take the survey when I got home!  

Sometimes on my Ralph's receipts a survey response can earn me gasoline points!

There are several other ways to get coupons and discounts for shopping. 

1. Be sure to go to RETAILMENOT.com and search for the store you will be shopping at. There will either be printable coupons or codes for online shopping.  You can also download their mobile app so that you always have it with you. 

2. Go to the store's website and search for coupons.

3. See if your store has a mobile app.

4. Match coupons at Joann's and Michaels if you are a crafter

5. Sign up online with loyalty programs to your favorite stores, but be sure to set up a separate email account for all the emails you will be getting!

6. Buy the Sunday newspaper and clip coupons.

7. Go to coupon sites like: CouponMom.com, SmartSource, and BradsDeals and  search for specific products on your shopping list. Then print coupons at home.

So with just a little bit of an extra effort, you can actually begin to save $$ on every purchase! Sign me up!

Holiday Shopping Stress!

This is year seems more stressful than others in regards to shopping. Everywhere you turn you are being bombarded by sales, discounts and pressure to BUY NOW!

I don't know if you are being sucked in. I tried doing a pre-Thanksgiving sale on a household item that seemed like a great price. And guess what, the same vendor marked it down 2 days after it was delivered to me!  So guess what, I bought it again to save $40.00. All the shipping was free, so when the 2nd one comes in, I will take it back to the store with the big bull's eye on it!

Thanksgiving sales, Black Friday, Cyber Monday...and my mailbox is full of everyone offering me Cyber Monday prices now, on Sunday!  What is a girl to do?

At some point, I will just stop looking after I get an item that I feel is a pretty good deal. After all, who wants to try returning Christmas gifts during this hectic shopping season anyway?

I hope everyone else is having a less stressful shopping experience.  And remember, if you are shopping online, shop through any portals you belong to, like AAdvantage Shopping or Upromise so that you can earn miles or cash back, use your cash back or points credit card for the purchase, and always, always check RetailmeNot for coupons and discount codes for any vendor!
