Save on Next Year’s Ski Trip

April 30, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

You can start saving on next year’s ski season….NOW! We at Smart Spending Spot are fans of shopping off season to get the best prices and deals. Skiing can be an expensive hobby but if cold weather, snow, and going down mountains at breakneck speed is your kind of thing then why not save money while enjoying it.

Shop Bogner Ski and get quality ski wear. Bogner Ski has everything you need to outfit you  in style and warmth. Right now they are having a HUGE sale on mens’ ski wear. In fact, they have put mens’ ski wear on sale for 50% off. Buy it now, save later. Then start watching for deals on ski trips to save even more on your wintry fun.

And really, you don’t need to ski to take advantage of these savings.  I’m from Up-State New York and lived in Vermont for a bit.  Many times an off the rack coat doesn’t keep the bitter wind and cold out. There is nothing like a good ski coat to keep you warm in those long cold winters. Plus Bogner’s coats make you look like more than a puffy all-too-often-neon penguin. They actually look nice,  with attention to attractive design details. (Can you tell? I always shiver with vanity in my cute coat over ugly coats that are actually warm.)

Free Credit Score, now through 4/27; no cc# required!

April 24, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Here is another freebie offer going away soon. This one is good because it’s not a “trial offer” that will require a credit card number.

Stick to these 4 tips to make your credit score sparkle and maximize your savings:

  • Pay your bills on time, all the time — every time.
  • Watch your credit card balances, use as little of your available credit as possible and your credit score will thank you.
  • Avoid credit card debt, only charge what you can comfortably afford to pay off at the end of each month. Trust us, it will still build your credit.
  • Maintain a good mix of credit including credit cards, auto loans, mortgage, etc., and manage them wisely. How does your credit measure up? Keep tabs on your credit with your Credit Sesame account to see how we can help you save or improve your financial situation in 2012.

need debt help?

April 24, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

A little while ago, I did a post about credit repair. I was also asked to post about debt help. Debt help goes hand in hand with that. Like I said in the other post, if you’re in deep, it may seem like an overwhelming problem. Everyone is still talking about mortgages, but credit card debt help is just as important. Financial worries can strain your sleep and your health, your marriage and your overall well being. Get professional help with your debt help if you need it or are feeling overwhelmed. Several times I’ve posted about “frugality fatigue” and how we’re all getting tired of scrimping and saving, and talking about how to spend less. Let yourself have a splurge, just every once in a while, to relieve that fatigue and energize you again. Set goals, that if you accomplish X number of tasks related to your finances, you get a treat of a dinner out or a manicure or something like that. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and hopefully our generations will never experience anything like this again. I think our kids will definitely be more financially responsible, having lived through this rather than the age of indulgence that we saw in the 1990s and 2000s, don’t you?

Giant PA + Doubling Coupons

April 17, 2012 by · 1 Comment

I have heard rumors that Giant PA was changing their coupon policy YET AGAIN.  Well, rumors no more.

Here is their updated policy.

Take note that not only will they only double one like coupon, they will only double UP TO $1.00. This means that $0.01 – $0.50 coupons will double their face value. It also means that $0.51-$0.99 will only double to $1.00.

Yet another reason for me to not make a special trip to Giant.  Whatever floats their boat.

How about you? Will you shop Giant as much or will you go there for less?
