Thank you all for joining me tonight for my Holiday Savings Class! Hopefully you learned some tips and tools to help you save more money this holiday season.
If you haven’t already, go HERE to subscribe to receive Addicted to Saving’s Daily Email. Every day around 4:00 pm EST I send an email out with a recap of the deals I have posted during the past 24 hours.
Also, make sure you join the Addicted to Saving Holiday Deals Facebook Group. In this group, I post all holiday related deals – Christmas decorations, Christmas cards, gift deals, Amazon lightning deals, etc etc. Along with that, “like” Addicted to Saving’s Facebook page. On this page, every single deal is posted including store coupon matchups, high value coupons, free samples, and more.
Saving on Grocery Items
1) Before shopping, check out the store’s weekly ad & coupon matchups. (I have the matchups for Publix, Winn-Dixie, Aldi, Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, etc etc) Print your grocery list and applicable coupons and gather coupons from your Sunday papers.
2) Look in the coupon database to see if any additional groceries have coupons you can use.
3) Watch www.addictedtosaving.com for additional deals that appear throughout the week.
4) If you are interested in learning more about Zaycon Foods (this is the company that has events approximately every month and sells meat at awesome prices), go HERE. This is where we buy our ground beef and boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I buy 40 pounds, share some with my mother, and then we live off of the meat that I’ve frozen for months.
Saving on Gifts
1) Watch for sales – When I find awesome sales, I post them. All day long. 🙂 So bookmark Addicted to Saving and check in once or twice a day. Along with that, make sure you have joined the Addicted to Saving Holiday Deals Facebook Group as I mentioned above. This is the place that all holiday related deals will be posted.
2) Watch Amazon’s Lightning Deals each day. I post the deals in the morning and reminders throughout the day on Facebook.
3) Consider joining Amazon Prime for free two day shipping, 30 minute early access to select lightning deals, instant streaming of countless TV shows & movies, and more. You can sign up for a free 30 day trial HERE. After the trial, your membership will be $99.00 for a year.
4) Watch the deals on Kohl’s. They give awesome coupon codes and often give us free $10.00 in Kohl’s Cash for each $50.00 we spent. And, they often give rebates on select items.
5) If you are shopping in-stores on Black Friday, make sure you check out all of the Black Friday ads HERE. You can also print out your shopping lists.
6) If you are looking for a specific item and want to see what store(s) have the best deals on Black Friday for specific items, go HERE and search the item.
Saving on Holiday Travel
If you are flying, my two favorite “deals” websites that I always compare are Travelocity and Kayak. I then compare their rates with individual airline’s website rates. Usually they are the same. But sometimes, I can get a better deal going direct to Delta, United, etc.

Thank you again for attending last night’s class! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me an email!
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
