Savings at These Retailers
TJ Maxx is one of my wife’s favorite past time. What happens is that major brands often manufacture too many pieces of clothes and TJ Maxx would buy the leftovers in bulk at a really cheap price and then resell it to us at a good price. The savings are actually very good if you don’t mind waiting a bit for the latest model to be sold.
Nordstorm has a huge following and also a semi annual sale twice every year. Usually, the retailer has three floors and the main floor is packed while the upper floors have much less traffic because the stuff for sale are much more expensive. In addition, Nordstorm has a great outlet type store called Nordstorm Rack that is extremely popular.
Sak’s Fifth Avenue is ultra high end. It’s got Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Armani, you name it, they have it. The layout of the retailer is often a little weird but hey, it doesn’t matter if they are making money right?
Robinson’s May, for a long time, was the queen of everyday people department store. In fact, my boss used to buy us a $100 gift certificate every Christmas. It’s funny because our secret santa were filled with gifts that could be purchased from the department store. In 2006 though, times were bad and the once popular department stores were bought out by Macy’s, with most of its stores transformed as well.
Century 21 is a discount retailer that has tons of ultra high end clothing at reduced prices. I remember the first time I went in, clothes were like a dumpster but if you have the time, energy and patience to look through all the clothes, you will find very good clothes at very cheap prices. As far as I know though, there is only one store in lower Manhattan.
Bloomingdales is very nice, with shops like Nespresso, Louis Vuitton specialty stores within the building. The color tone is black and white, which brings a sleek and luxury look to the surroundings. Once you step in, you will know what I’m talking about.
Walmart is the granddaddy of discount retailers. The prices are so good that for years, they’ve been killing the mom and pop stores because they have more variety with cheaper prices. Sure, they are always in the news for low labor rates and all that but if it means saving you money, aren’t you still going to buy there?
JC Penny is actually very nice because there are huge savings every time you go there. Like many other department store, it often have promotions and those are really great. This everybody department store is always on my radar when I go shopping. A must see.

Maximizing Coupons at the Grocery Store
It might not always be easy to find the grocery coupons that you need, but if you go about it the right way, you can save loads on your grocery bill. Being organized, and knowing where to find the coupons, is the key to saving. Here are a few tips to get you started.
A key to saving money when using coupons is to have several copies of the coupons that you know you are going to use. Some coupons are good for only one item, so if you have a coupon for a can of soup and you know you’re going to buy 5 cans of soup, that coupon can only be used for one of them. In order to get the most savings, you’ll need 5 of that coupon-one for every can of soup you purchase!
Check your local Sunday paper for the coupon inserts, as well as your circulars that come throughout the week. Clip the coupons that you will need from them. If you get your paper and you don’t have any inserts, give your paper a call because part of the fee that you paid for the paper included the inserts.
If you need extra coupons and you find them in the paper, consider buying an extra copy. However, weigh the expense of the extra copy of the paper versus the savings that you will get for the coupons.
Consider starting a coupon collection box at your office or school. This is a good way to recycle coupons that you don’t have a use for. Make sure someone goes through the coupons periodically to take out the ones that have expired.
Try sharing coupons with friends. They might have coupons that you need, and you might have something of use to them. This is another good way to recycle those coupons that you don’t have a use for.
Print off the coupons that you need online. This is also a good way to get multiple copies of needed coupons. There are many websites that allow shoppers to search for coupons by zip code.
When you enter a restaurant, hotel, or airport, check in the entryway, where free papers are usually stocked. You might be surprised at the coupons that are available in these free papers and you can generally take as many as you want.
Once you have collected your coupons, organize them and compare them to your shopping list in order to get the most of out your savings. Take only the ones that you will need for that particular trip to the store.
Last but not least, make sure that you watch for double coupon days at your local stores. They’re generally advertised in the newspaper. You will get the most out of your coupons on these days. You might even get products for virtually no money at all.
