"Generosity is the Pathway for More"
Please forgive me for a moment if I stray from the purpose of my blog...
As many of you know, I'm a big advocate and supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness, and Cancer Awareness in general. The improvements that have been achieved in diagnosing and treating cancers is incredible.
On May 7, 2011, I will be walking in the Revlon's walk for the cure to raise both awareness and funds to continue research, treatment and support for those dealing with this horrible disease. Cancer can impact anyone, at any time.
Living a thrifty lifestyle means not living in excess beyond your means, but it should never prevent you from supporting a cause or charity you believe in. I encourage you to give what you can. $1, $2 or $100. Thank you for your support.

How does Livingsocial work? They string a great deal in front of your nose, you snatch it up, and then they count on you to get out there and talk them up. If you share the deal with three friends and they purchase it, the deal is yours free of charge. What a great way to score a free trip if you are planning to travel with friends, or eat free at a lady's lunch.

Want to live the high life, for the right price? Now you can. Check out Groupon. Groupon is a site where you can register your city and they upload a coupon daily at ridiculously discounted rates.
How does it work? Each day a deal is shared within the Groupon community. If you want it, you hit "buy." The trick is, enough people have to "buy" the deal for it to be valid. Ingenious marketing! Depending on how badly you want the deal, they count on us to be their PR firm, get out there, get people hyped and "buy" the deal too.
If enough people purchase it by midnight, your credit card gets charged and it is yours! If enough people don't, you're not stuck with any charges. Membership is free and secure. So, check it out. Get that hour massage you always dreamed of for $20 :)

How to Find an Online Coupon Code
Ever wonder how to score added savings? Online shopping is a great way to save cash! If you search hard enough, you can usually find free shipping, or enough online savings, that it cancels out shipping cost. Where do you look?
The most effective method, is to google the store name you are looking for with the words "coupon code" or "promo code." A number of specialized coupon and promo sites will pop up.
I've found the best to be:
www.retailmenot.com - My favorite thing about this site, is it allows you to sign up for notifications for specific stores. Whenever someone adds a coupon code for the store you want, they will email you immediately. It typically has the most up to date coupons.
Here are some other great sites.
http://www.bargainist.com
http://www.couponloco.com
http://www.couponmountain.com
http://www.couponchief.com
http://www.momsview.com
http://www.couponcabin.com/
New sites are constantly added, so if you can't find what you are looking for, stick with the "google method."
Another way to make sure you are receiving notifications of sales and coupons is to sign up for your favorite store's email list. I suggest opening a second email account for your "junk" mail. Although most stores do have privacy policies that won't sell your information, they may send you information out every single day which can get a bit tedious.
Good luck!

Comparison Shop From the Comfort of Your Own Home
Unsure where the best deals are? All of that information is at the tip of your fingertips. Whether you use Google, Bing or pretty much any other search engine, there are normally tabs to assist you in surfing the web. You can look for images, news, web topics, shopping, etc
I typically use Google, so I will use that as an example. Type the item you want into the google bar. Look to the upper left side of your screen. It says "web, images, maps, news, shopping, mail, more."
Hit the shopping tab.
A new screen will pop up that will provide you with the starting price at numerous stores. If you want to keep something in a certain budget look to your left. There is a comprehensive guide that will allow you to sort by free shipping, new (not used) items, narrow your price bracket, the materials the items in made of, sizes or features, and nearby stores.
Click the item you want and all the stores that carry it will pop up offering you an easy comparison. You can sort from cheapest price including shipping, base price and more. This feature will also allow you to distinguish if the item is brand new, used or refurbished to prevent any surprises. It will also list the shipping price and total price (including shipping) so you know exactly what your final price will be.
Happy Shopping!
