One-stop Savings

Before going into store-by-store list, I'd like to share some brilliant advice I just got: Hit the Sunday ads!

Word is, Office Max, Walmart, Target and other big retailers will meet the lowest advertised prices on items. In one trip, one mom saved $30 and lots of time by showing up armed with her ads. I’m not sure if this is a national policy, so it’s probably a good idea to call the store you’re visiting before filling up your cart.

Remember: Bring the ads with you!!
