Save Save Save

I just kind of pictured a little cheerleader when I wrote the title of this post. It is a little mantra that has been going through my mind lately. Yes, truly I keep hearing "SAVE SAVE SAVE." It is quite insistent. Of course another little mantra that has been banging on my mind's door has been "Spend Spend Spend!" It is one of those things that pop up when I am at a store and see a crazy good deal. A deal that is so good I just feel like it is a crime to pass up.

Like today (well today as I write this but it will post in the morning of what will be tomorrow - confused?), I went to Family Christian Stores, and honestly, I could have gone crazy. They have lots of great clearance sales going on right now, and I have a very hard time passing up the awesome deals. I used as much restraint as possible, and I managed to purchase just a few things. I bought a great ornament for Christmas which was 50% off (not dated and way cute so why not?), and I also purchased two of their awesome $5 items for members. If you have not perused that little section, I strongly advise that you do. They have a couple of great DVDs and some seriously great CDs too which could make FABULOUS stocking stuffers. Still at some point, you must call it quits on even the best deals. I did this...and it was a STRUGGLE!

OHHHHH, and don't forget to take their online shopper survey when you get home. That survey will hook you up with a 30% discount on regular priced items. It does have to be taken within 7 days of purchase and the coupon is good for 30 days from the date of the receipt. Well worth the time.

TRAVEL DEAL
