Week 1 Thursday June 23, 2011

The reason I’m writing this blog is to help others to shop for a lifetime. Shopping for today will cost you a lot of money but shopping in advance & wisely done will fill your pockets with money saved. I’ve been shopping for over 25yrs but start perfected it 20yrs ago. There are things that we need to do before we get started. 1st is to give God all the credit and glory for allowing me to do this & to help others. Without the Holy Spirit guiding me, I too would be lost & wasteful. 2nd is to recognize that these tips work in the Chicagoland areas including some parts of Indiana (others will follow at a later date). 3rd thing is for you to know your likes and dislikes as well as those of your household. 4th is not to become a hoarder of stuff. Know your limit & don’t over do it. 5th These tips are not the same as extreme couponing but can be used in relations to it. 6th know the location of each store, the hours, sale dates (start & end), website address, and phone numbers. 7th always & I repeat, ALWAYS write out a list of stuff you want to & will buy from each store before going to the store. These tips are to increase your knowledge of shopping while saving money, time, and energy. If you ever have a question, just ask. No question is stupid to answer. (Thanks to those that motivated me to finish what I started..)

This is what I call a nice sale, a deal or a steal. I shop at all these stores once a week. More to come. Look for Tri-weekly updates. If there are any stores you would like to see please ask. If there's a item you would like to know when it will be on sale, just ask.
