Saving Money One Product at a Time

If I Were Single Again

I want to start this post stating, by saying I do not wish to to be single again. I am perfectly happy being married. The whole reason for this title and this subject is what I have heard from young, middle aged. and older people who find themselves without a partner for one reason or the other. I have seen several single people with interesting attitudes toward money, and saving money. I thoug...

Valentine’s Day the Perfect Gift

Valentine's Day is one of those day's we must not forget, or else! Or else a loved one, or mother maybe hurt, disappointed or upset at the very least. We do have help in not forgetting. Television commercials, displays in stores, and email having been reminding me for almost a month. February 14th is Valentines Day, and we should get our loved one some gift. Now we know we got to get our wife...

Beetle or Cooper

This week we have heard reports about gas prices are going up. After hitting a low of close to $3 per gallon for most of January, we are expecting gas prices to start climbing again. With gas prices climbing, the cost of driving our vehicles one mile has started to increase. For those of you who commute any distant to and from work, it will be a big impact on your budget. Like through out mo...

Wonderful World of Trade Shows

Las Vegas is a great place to go for a getaway vacation. It is also know as one of the most popular places to hold a trade show. If you look at the Las Vegas Convention Convention Center there is back to back trade shows. Still for someone like me, who happens to love trade shows, it is not practical for me to spend so much time in Vegas. In fact there is another location where I can go to a tr...

Do I Need Fancy Cleaners?

It is SuperBowl Sunday! There are going to be a lot of living rooms filled with football fans enjoying the big game. There is going to be some emotional highs and lows through out the game. Drinks and food is going to get spilled. Afterwards there will be some cleaning that need to be done. Depending on wild the party gets will depend on how much cleaning will need to be done. In preparation fo...

Gas Mileage Lies

On morning news there was a sniped about a lady who sued Honda for misrepresentation of their gas mileage. It was in small claims court, but still won $10,000. Interesting! It has become pretty much accepted, by all of us, what the sticker gas mileage would be under ideal condition. I am glad someone has stepped up to say, "We are not going to take it anymore!" When I look at different makes...

Touch Screen Desktop Computers

I first saw touch screens computers in the food processing industry back in the late 90's. Since then the technology and the price has been slowly been dropping. As a result we now see more cell phones with touch screens than without. The overall adoption of a touch screen desktop computer has been slow mostly because of the cost. We are seeing the price going under the $1,000 mark. This makes ...

Social Responsible Buying

Last week the name Foxconn and Apple were in all the headlines. It was not about great profits, or some new electronic gadget. It was about the inhumane treatment of the workers in China. What is interesting to note is that Foxconn does not just manufacture electronics for Apple. Foxconn manufacture over 50% of the electronics sold in the United States. Mistreatment of works or labors misbeh...

Secrets of Shopping Wal Mart

Midday on any Saturday or Sunday, at Wal Mart, finds families and couples getting their weekly shopping done. We are at the end of January. People are starting to recover from the Christmas shopping madness. Walking we were greeted by a your 60 oriental lady. I think it is great that Wal Mart seek to find jobs for elderly on fixed incomes. After a quick stop by the cosmetic section for some...

Search for a Practical Usable Tablet

Since before Thanksgiving I have been slowing giving into the idea of getting a tablet. I have looked at all the major brands of tablets and eReaders. I have been trying to imagine how often I would use it. I watch how other people would use their tablets. While attending a local trade show I noticed a large majority of the vendors were using iPads. There were only a few who had other tablets....

Black Friday – What are you doing?

Posted By: The Shopping Nazi on November 20, 2009 in Budget, Christmas, Home, Lifestyle - Comments: 2 Comments »

We are just one week away from the biggest shopping day of the year. Well, that is what all the marketing people tell us. Crowds storm shopping malls all across the United States for that great deal. or that must have Christmas present.

The day after Thanksgiving when all the retail stores say that they have their biggest savings deals for the Christmas season. Crowds of people line up outside malls all across the United States and Canada to rush in for those big savings, when the doors open.

The truth be known, those same deals, if not better deals can be found at different times through out the years. Then there is purchase Christmas gifts online can also save you a few dollars more.

This is where a recon can save you hundreds of dollar. All it takes is a few simple steps.

How Much Money is in the Budget for Christmas gift. I will definitely recommend no credit cards, just cash on hand. One of the major reasons we have got our economy in such bad shape has been by running up all that credit debt.
Who Gets a Gift List - Start with a list of who you are going to give gifts to this Christmas.
Research what deals are going to be available on Black Friday. Yes you can find out what is going to be available. You don’t have to jump from one stores website or another. Just go to BlackFriday2009. com.
Take a Shopping List this will help you from getting suck into buying something you did not plan on getting.
Take Only the Money you plan to spend. Even if you are tempted to buy something not on your shopping list, if you do not have the money, you cannot buy it.,

BlackFriday2009.com is not the only website that you can go to to plan your Black Friday shopping. There are several others. BlackFriday.info gives you early Black Friday deals. BFads.net is another listing of Black Friday sales.

Now a little fireside advice while your putting together your list. Just because it says it is a sale and a great deal does not make it a great deal. We still have almost a month of shopping before Christmas Day. There are going to be other sales.

Given the current state of the economy. Brick and mortar as well as online stores are going to be offering even more deals. Possible extra incentives for you to buy. Just don’t get caught up in the emotion of Black Friday. It is going to be a buyer market.
