$$$ Saving Ideas

With the market as it is, everyone needs to protect their margins and find ways to cut our personal as well as professional expenses. And, with the holidays fast approaching, I thought I would share the following:

I often use price comparison sites to find the best price for an item I have
decided to purchase. It is amazing how much the price of a particular item
fluctuates from store to store. Last year I saved over a thousand dollars
purchasing the exact Plasma TV I wanted just by purchasing it at a store I
found on one of the price-comparison shopping sites.
Amazing... Although I used my TV savings as an example, these sites can be used to save money on everyday items such as books, DVDs printers etc.

Another way I have found to earn additional savings is by checking coupon sites
to see if there are any online or printable coupons for merchants from whom I
am planning to make a purchase.

There are many sites that offer price comparisons or list available coupons. To
help select which sites are best I am including links from a Smart Money article
where they have rated these sites for results and performance.
