99
Cents Only store again wins the day with gourmet
delicate "Finger Potatoes." I didn't weigh the
mesh bag
they come in but estimate over 2 lbs.
Walmart and Target have both gone
"Dollar" priced items now but our best leads for y ou is
shop your Dollar and 99 Cents Only.
Dollar stores are for smart shoppers
of all income levels. Once shunned, today Dollar Stores
across the nation outnumber Drug Stores.
No matter what we list here, there's
still more savings for you at your local Dollar stores
where you often get 2 or 4 items for a buck.

Change font and cut printing costs. Computer
engineers printed 27 percent more pages
per ink cartridge using 12-point Times
New Roman instead of Arial. Calibri
is another ink saver. By comparison,
Tahoma, Franklin Gothic Medium, and
Verdana are ink hogs.
Take advantage of stores’
price guarantees. Many major
retailers have policies that promise to
match or beat competitors’ prices, even
after you’ve purchased an item. (Many
retailers will also give you a refund if
the price of the item drops at their own
stores.) Some stores, including Sears,
Home Depot, and Lowe’s, will even beat
a competitor’s price by 10 percent. Just
be sure to act fast; many policies limit
refunds to seven to 14 days. And read
store policies online for loopholes.
Another way to get the lower price is
simply to return the item and rebuy it,
if you haven’t already used it.
Switch to store-brand
everything! Or at least give
these products a try. Every year we test
dozens of store-brand items and we find
that many of them are just as good or
better than brand-name products..
