Nifty, Thrifty Tips to Save $$
I need to get a life. In my semi-retired state, I have free time to research, read, and find tidbits of information to save AARP'ers money, when buying STUFF. If you are frugal minded, like to get discounts, like to shop, but live on a set amount of money, I would love to share my special savings finds with you. Do SHARE your tips, with us too. Lindy

I am always looking for the best deals on gifts for B'days and the Holidays.  This past weekend my daughter mentioned, that she wanted an electric griddle, to which I said that I would get her one for Christmas.

As always I...

1) Google an item to find the best sales price.

2) Check out the catalogues and flyers sent to me by Department stores.

3) Check online Department Stores in their online clearance area.

4) Check out auction sites for an item.. My favorite is still Sams auctions, which has saved me consistently 40%-50% over retail prices.. Check ebay too.

A Dept Store catalog had a Wolfgang Puck reversible electric grill for $99.

My google search found WP grills from $67-$89.

I put a bid in for WP Reversible grill on Auction and won the bid for $37.00.  Yea, I have to pay a few dollars for shipping, but this by far was the best price around... even with the shipping cost. 

 

Here are are a few seasonal sites, listing Black Friday and early season sales.
