Follow The Map of Deals

Maps are a dying art. I myself have never used an actual map to try and find a specific destination. In my new city of Nashville, I just type in my location on my Garmin friend or look it up on my iPhone. However, I have found a map that I intend to use quite often - The Deal Map. Type in your zip code or search popular cities and a Google map pops up with deals in all sorts of categories. You can find promotions and coupons for restaurant and retail locations, hotel deals, even concert tickets. It's such a good deal that Clark Howard even spoke about it!

Socialize your shopping

If you're savvy enough to be reading this blog, my guess is you are on at least some of the social networks (such as Facebook and Twitter). If you're not, you should be, and here's one more reason why - to save money. Most stores post coupons or announce upcoming sales and happenings via their page, or you can learn about their new offerings. As I just moved to Nashville, I started "following" and "liking" several groups and activities here to keep me in the loop. This little gem from The Cotton Mill just showed up in my Facebook news feed today and I can't wait to head there this weekend!
