I just wanted to stop and wish you a very happy Thanksgiving! Today I am thankful for my family, my friends and you guys! You make deal hunting totally FUN for me and I truly appreciate each and every one of you who stops by this blog to check out my daily finds!

I truly intended to take the day off today but there were so many screaming deals just on the first half of the day. It is incredible! but now my husband has given me a minute to wrap this party up at least until after Thanksgiving dinner. What can I say? I do drive a hard bargain!

So, I am taking the time to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner in the company of family and I hope you are all doing the same. I will see you back here after the turkey-induced coma wears off enough for me to type up semi-coherent posts, lol!

Happy Eatings!

As you guys know we are now in November and I know most of you are rounding up your Holiday Shopping list. In this post I wanted to share a few important things with you:

First, since I know a lot of you are and will be shopping for Holiday presents, I will start sharing with you deals on items that I think some of you may have on your list. In general I am thinking toys, small appliances, gifts for guys, electronics, etc. These are not deals that I regularly blog about but because I know some of you are looking for them I will be sharing them with you.

Here is my disclaimer: Not every deal I share will be for you. But it may be for some else. What I am trying to say is that when I blog about a deal I am not saying quick buy it now! I am saying buy it if it is on your holiday shopping list. So keep that shopping list on hand so you don’t deviate!

Second, I also wanted to share how you can keep on top of things.  Long time readers know that some of these Holiday deals come and go very fast!  So if you want to keep good tabs on things I suggest you follow Common Sense with Money in the way that best suits you: via Twitter, Facebook, RSS or email or by downloading our mobile apps.  With any of these you should be able to keep up and get the items on your shopping list for a lot less.

Finally, speaking of Holiday Shopping Lists, what do you have on yours? Let me help you score a deal on the items that you are looking to buy for the Holidays by sharing them with you (leave comment on this post). If you tell me what it is you plan on buying I can do a better job at keeping an eye out for deals.

So, that is all I wanted to share with you. Can you believe that the holidays are around the corner?

If you are on Facebook you know that over the past couple of days there have been a lot of changes made to it.  I must say I have not explored all of the changes but I am very happy to see that you can now create lists.  If you are on Twitter or Goggle+, you know you can make lists or create create circles there too.

I love being able to make lists on Facebook because they can help you make sense of your feed.  I have a lot of friends and also follow a lot of pages and over the past two months I just felt too overwhelmed by so many things showing up on my one feed.  I was losing touch with my friends and also family because of the mess.

You probably noticed that Facebook automatically created a list for friends and family for you and gave you a chance to edit it.  You can also create a list of the pages you follow and make it easier to keep tabs on them.  If you follow blogs on Facebook you can create a list to make it easier to follow their updated.  Here is how to do that:

On the left side of your Facebook you will see a section called lists.  To create a new list, hover your computer mouse over that section and click on “More:

After you click on more, click on “Create a List” and name your list. I follow a few deal blogs so I called mine “Deals.”  Then after you name it, on the right side you will see a section called “On This List” type the name of the blogs you follow that you want to add to this list.

I follow a lot of pages, so I have narrowed my lists down to “Companies”, ‘Recipe Blogs”, “Parenting Blogs”, etc.

After you create your lists, you will see which ones have any updates on the left side of your Facebook Home.  Just click on them to check who has said what and interact.  So go on and make a list of Blogs you follow and be sure to add Common Sense with Money first to that list.

I just wanted to give a quick reminder to those of you who signed up for my couponing webinars. The first one will be this Sunday 6/26 at 9PM EST. I am very excited to talk to 500 of you about one of my favorite topics: couponing!  I will be giving you the information you need to master this skill.

We will be starting promptly on time, so make sure to be there sharp! Bring your questions as we will be having a live Q&A session.

For those of you interested in attending future webinars, I will be announcing new dates soon!
