I Love Free Things – How About You?

I really love finding a bargain and saving money.

Here are some of the things that we personally do:

  • Use the local and digit library.  We not only read books, we use it for so much more – magazines (no more subscriptions), audio books, downloading movies (save that fee too) and local passes for attractions in our area (saves or reduces that admission fees).
  • Exercising – we have outdoor free classes in the summer months – like yoga, zumba and more.
  • Making a picnic dinner for the beach or park before a movie.
  • Taking advantage of free days at museums and parks.

Off Season Shopping

Now is the time to shop for your winter items – no, it’s not a typo.

You can get great deals on off season items now.  Think snowblowers, coats, heavy clothing, and so much more.

I saw a ski jacket I liked this winter. It was $200 – more than I wanted to spend.  I kept an eye on it.  In March it was reduced to $80 – not bad but I was hoping for more of a discount.  Well in May it was down to $60.  I was able to save $140 and get the coat I wanted for next season.  It pays to shop off season.  In addition, I will watch the price.  If it goes down more in the next 30 days, I will bring it back for a price adjustment for the difference.

This is just one example of shopping off season.  What are you thinking of buying?
