Daily Savings TV

You all know I like a good deal, especially an online deal.  Well, I am excited to announce that I will be the host of Daily Savings TV  on Mingle Media TV beginning this month.  If you are familiar with Groupon or Living Social, it works the same way. It's an easy way to save on some of your favorite stores, places, and events.  Here are all the rules:

• Buy

  We’ll announce a new deal that is 50-90% off regular prices at restaurants, spas, events and other local goodies. There’s a minimum number of buyers needed to make a deal active, so if enough people buy that day’s offer before it expires, the deal is live.

• Share

  When you find an offer you like, share it with your friends using our Facebook, Twitter or email links. The more people you invite, the greater chance an offer has of becoming activated. Plus, every time you refer a friend and they purchase a deal within 30 days, you get $10 worth of Deal Bucks applied to your account for a future purchase.

• Print

  Deal vouchers are available to print within 24 hours after the deal closes. Please keep in mind, some deals run for several days, so check the time remaining for when the deal will close. When your voucher becomes available, you can print it from the “My Deals” page.

• Repeat

  Don’t miss out! Sign up to receive an email every time we post a new deal.

So, make sure to sign up for emails here for our official launch and be sure to Refer a Friend to earn $10 in Deal Bucks.  You can also check us out on Facebook or Twitter if you would like to simplify your Social Media life.  I hope to see you there!

Here's my video explaining it all:

Cyber Monday

While I am not a fan of Black Friday shopping, I am a huge fan of Cyber Monday.  I love sitting on my couch and shopping all with a click of a mouse.  Given that it is my birthday week, I will probably buy myself a treat or two.  I have had my eye on these for awhile.  If you are going to the laptop for your holiday shopping, remember these three rules:

1.  Never pay full price.
2.  Never pay for shipping.
3.  Try to avoid sales tax.  Look for sites that either pick up the sales tax for you or an out of state site that does not charge sales tax to your home state.  (This is a big one for me as California sales tax is now flirting with 10%.)

I wrote a huge online shopping article awhile back, so start there and find out how one site will pay YOU to shop.  You will thank me later when you get a check back for your holiday purchases in January.  The article also has a link that adds $5 to your account for your first purchase.  Remember, that is $5 for you to add to your bank account, not $5 off a purchase.  Happy Shopping! Be smart, be safe, save money!!

Let me know what is on your holiday list too. I would love to hear what you are buying this holiday season.
