Times are hard nowadays and more and more people are desperate to save money! Some have been laid off, downsized or forced to live on one income for varies reason! Holding on to the money you have is more important now than ever before but how do you do this when there are things you need to buy?! There are several ways to save the money you make but perhaps one of the easiest things you can do right NOW is to find the best deals on the things you already buy. We like to call it finding your savings MOJO so check out our top 3 tips on how to find the best deals on the things you buy.
Prepare
You know you will need to buy the essentials like toiletries and groceries. The best thing you can do is be prepared by making lists of what you need to buy each month in general and also weekly lists. This will help you avoid over spending or buying things you don’t really need while at the store or shopping online. Of course, you need to make sure you know your monthly budget on these items as well.
Research
There is no shortage of products and services available for sale so you can be choosy on how much money you spend on things but how do you know if you are getting a good deal or the best deal? You simply need to take the time to research! There are many ways to do this including asking a trusted friend their opinion, seeing how much your item is selling for on popular websites like google or Amazon or checking out sites like Mojo Savings. Mojo Savings goal is to help others to be good stewards of all that God has entrusted to them. They find the best deals and ways to make the most of your money and they keep you informed of the latest sales, deals, and coupons so you can maximize your savings. Being a busy Mom, myself, it is sure nice that they do all the legwork for you so you don’t have to!
Just see for yourself all the great deals they found for you at Walmart today! Wow!
Check for Couons
Many times you will buy items that are not on sale at the store but if you would of taken the time to look for coupons you will find them. Almost all large chains and services offer coupons directly on their site or on third party sites like Groupon! Why not take advantage of that and save big $$$ each year on the things you buy? I am not saying become a crazy coupon lady but why not check out a coupon site and make the most of your hard earned money! You can print out the coupons or download them onto your phone or computer. It is super easy and totally worth it! You can even find Amazon promo codes and deals if you look!

Great tips! We’re not big couponers and things like that, but I always use my Target app as well as Ibotta whenever I’m shopping and it helps a ton! It really adds up.
I’ve never heard of this! Thanks for the info, it’s always a good idea to try to save money!
I love Groupon! These are some great tips!
This is so useful to know! Thanks for sharing.
I always check Groupon for discounts. Cash back offers are great too. Another way I do to save on grocery shopping is to buy in bulk.
I haven’t heard of Mojo Savings. It sounds like something I need to look into. I’m always checking for sales and ways to make the money stretch more.
I pretty much ALWAYS check for coupon codes before I buy anything. Often I can save serious money with so LITTLE effort.
