April is the cruelest month. But there's no reason it can't be the jolliest! One consistent piece of feedback we've been gotten from our audience is that the holiday shopping season is WAY too short. Why confine such a festive and relaxing occasion to just one month a year? Our Savings Scientists looked into the matter and the bubbling solution they concocted in our state-of-the-art Deal Lab is finally ready for public consumption. We're proud to present HolidApril!
So get your bells on, spike up a big batch of eggnog, unsheathe your credit card, and get ready to sing some Fa La Las. Because we're going to teach you about the 268 days of Christmas. You're welcome.

The holidays are fast approaching and shopping is a huge part of it. Not only do retailers make it more enticing to shop during the holidays but because Christmas, Hanukkah and other celebrations are lined up back to back, you really feel like you have no other choice (
unless you did some early shopping which most people don't).
With Black Friday just around the corner, you get the feeling that the best deals only occur in that small time frame, but in actuality you're not doomed if you don't score anything that day.
In order to be an educated shopper, you want to know when to buy certain items to get the most bang for your buck and when not to. From clothing to toys, we'll show you when and when not to spend your hard earned dollars.

A show of hands, please: How many of you have left the grocery store lately, looking at the receipt and wondering how your total managed to be so high?
Prices continue to rise, and as a result, consumers are paying more and getting less at the checkout.

A show of hands, please: how many of you are giving yourself the gift of a shiny new iPhone 4S this holiday? Or perhaps a Motorola DROID 3 or Razr or Bionic, Galaxy Nexus or HTC Rezound?
Cellphone technology keeps offering gadgets that consistently up the ante for mobile communications. Remember that scene in Wall Street where Gordon Gekko calls his protege Bud while watching the sun set on the beach? Back then that was supposed to represent how Gekko's milliions enabled him to indulge in the very latest in technology. Today, it's a stark reminder of how far mobile has come from the days that only the very rich could afford to talk into a device the size of Shaquille O'Neal's high tops...

Image by Ed Coyle Photography via FlickrAlthough Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, Tuesday June 21st is the date of the actual summer solstice. And with a three month stretch of warm weather, families everywhere are doing what families traditionally do come June, July and August: Go on vacation.
Although we're still in recovery mode with a struggling economy, rising gas prices and employment uncertainty, that hasn't put a damper on the overwhelming majority of summer vacation plans. Over 80 percent of those polled stated that neither poor MPG, lost luggage or grope-y TSA agents could prevent them from reaching their vacation destination.
Okay, they didn't specifically say THAT--but you get the picture...

The desire to
save money isn't a new fad--it's been with us for ages. Back in your grandma's or great grandma's time, it probably meant saving tinfoil during the recession. For your mom, it was all about the double coupons at the local Kroger or Giant Food. Today's savvy saver is all about scoring a super hot deal via Groupon or 20% off and free shipping for a favorite online retailer via deal sites like Savings.com.
For some of us, saving money is an occasional occupation, for others it's a habitual hobby.
And then there are those for whom bargain hunting is taken to a whole other level. I give you the Super Saver.

Attention husbands and boyfriends: You have less than a week to shop for a sappy Hallmark card, heart-shaped box of candy, bouquet of flowers or blingy jewelry for your loved one. That's right, Valentine's Day is only five days away.
Why am I picking on just guys here? Well, because research shows that men spend on average TWICE what women spend on this day designated for all things romantic. Although in the case of sexy lingerie, you guys have to admit--that gift is much more for YOU than it is for your lady love...
