Get the Sunday Paper!

One of the best places to find deals on everyday items is the Sunday newspaper.  Most of us read our news online these days, but there is still something wonderful about getting the paper on Sunday and flipping through the inky pages while drinking a cup of coffee (I happen to also be watching a horror movie because it's Halloween).

The Sunday L.A. Times is only $1.50 per issue, well worth the savings you will clip from all of the great ads.  I am the Deal Huntress though so to make this deal even better I've found an offer for the Sunday paper at a rate of just $1.00/issue - Sunday L.A. Times DealWherever you live, get your Sunday paper.

Happy Friday!

I think I've finally figured out how to share my blog via Facebook and Twitter.  Let's see if this works...  Also, who's found my tips and tricks useful?

Black Friday

Black Friday is the thrifty shopper's favorite day of the year!  But guess what, it's not just one day any more.  According to this article in the New York times, Black Friday specials can be found now through Thanksgiving and into December.  What's even better is that Black Friday no longer means waking up early to stand in long lines.  You can access these deals from the comfort of your own computer - I love technology!

American Airlines

It's good for consumers when airlines engage in a little friendly competition.  American Airlines has a special that's similar to Southwest for travel between December 1 - December 15, 2010, and January 4 - February 16.  If Southwest doesn't fly to your desired destination, try American Airlines.  The sale (and the Southwest sale) ends on October 28.

Get Great Deals on Hotel Rates

My friend, Alex called me today to let thank me for posting the great Southwest deal.  Her and her husband are flying to Las Vegas for a ridiculously low price - about $150 for two round trip tickets.  Alex and her husband have a favorite room at Caesar's Palace which was about $360 on Hotels.com.  Yikes!!  Alex then did something that I always try to do when booking a hotel - call them directly.  You never know what unadvertised specials they may have going.  She discovered that the room was 25% off during a select time period that her trip happened to fall in.  Way to be thrifty, Alex!

This reminded me of my trip to Big Sur last summer.  My boyfriend and I wanted to stay at the Ventana Inn but were a little astounded at the price.  I called the hotel and come to find out, they were offering a $200 dining credit and free bottle of wine for each night of our stay.  It was WELL worth it!!!

Also, it doesn't help to have an AWESOME travel agent to book rooms for you.  They can often get you great upgrades!

Anyone planning a trip somewhere that Southwest travels to?  With this sale I pretty much have to visit someone (Great Aunt Martha in Sacramento??).
