SAVING MONEY WITH PROMOTIONAL CODES

A big part of any investment program is finding extra cash to invest.  So looking for ways to save on your everyday purchases becomes almost second nature.  One great way I've found for saving money is promotional codes.  Any time I make a purchase over the internet, before I go to checkout, I do an online search for a promotional code to see if there are any available discounts. 

As an example, I recently needed to reorder checks for my checking account.  Like most people now days, I make a lot of payments electronically and don't use many written checks, but I still keep some on hand to use when needed.  At any rate, I go to the check printers website, pick out my new checks procede to checkout and when I get to the part where they ask if I have any discount or promotional codes, I opened a second window and did a search on the internet.  Turns out, in this case, there were several.  The one that worked best for me was a buy one box and get a second box for 49 cents.  So I saved almost $15 on my order and have at least a two year supply of checks.

You won't always find a discount or promo code for everything you buy, but it only takes a minute or two to search, so it's well worth the effort.  The amount you'll save will vary, but I've managed to save hundreds of dollars on online purchases and have even found discounts that can be printed out and taken to local retailers for savings on in store purchases as well.  The greatest part of all this is, the money you save makes it that much easier to reach your savings and investment goals.
