- Prepare a spending plan
- Search online for coupons and free shipping (try this app) http://snipsnap.it/
- Get social (deals through Twitter and Facebook)
- Use your rewards (the ones you've been racking up on your credit card Start early (best bargains are earlier in the day)
- Use cash (only shop with the cash you put in an envelope)
- Shrink stress (wind down after a long shopping day with a bath...or in my case, a cigar, a fine scotch and a bath)
