Don’t Forget Online Sources - The internet can be a great source of savings these days. Free and discounted shipping, store discounts, coupons, and the ability to comparison shop with a few simple clicks make online retailers more desirable than ever for the savvy saver. GREAT POINT- Online shopping is growing at a staggering rate. The savings are unbelievable. I generally use the local stores to compare products physically, then I compare prices online. I recently found a free tool that compares and finds the best price online fast. It is called MyShoppingGenie and can be viewed and downloaded freely at GenieUnleashed.com. WOW! One tip for those of you who, like myself, want to give the local guy a chance. After finding the best price online, I often print it out and take it to my local retailer. Though they usually cannot match the price, they will often offer a discounted price. Happy Hunting y'all. 8. Don’t Forget Online Sources – The internet can be a great source of savings these days.

Hats off to Not Made of Money for being so open to guest posts and allowing us newer "bloggers" the chance for a little exposure. I think the list is great. I would also institute some kind of "cooling off" period whenever contemplating any type of impulse buy. Call it the 30-second rule or whatever you want, but whenever you're out and considering buying something that is not a necessity, you have to ask yourself one very important question--do I really need it?

You should take a look. http://www.priceprospector.com While at the store, comparing coupons is a great way to save money.
