Back-To-School Season Spending Up 10.5%, Consumers Looking to Save According To SuperCoolSteals.com

Post on August 8, 2010

In a press call today, SuperCoolSteals.com CEO Joe McFerrin announced that SuperCoolSteals.com will introduce more coupons and retail offers related to the Back-To-School merchandise compared over last year.

Based on new consumer data made available by American Express this month, the average American family is looking to spend 10.5% more this year on Back-To-School merchandise than last year, despite a slumping economy.

As with every year, clothing (88%), shoes (86%) and school supplies (85%) continue to represent the largest block of Back-To-School expenses. One third of American families have indicated that electronics are a must-have on this year’s shopping list.

“We’re seeing a significant increase in coupons requests related to calculators, cell phones, MP3 players, E-Readers/iPads and printers. We know this is directly related to the Back-To-School shopping season” says Joe McFerrin.

The Back-To-School shopping season traditionally starts before the schools open. According to the study, 87% of American families anticipate to complete their purchases before the school season while the remaining 13% are holding off waiting for the best bargains, sales and coupons.

“One thing American families have in common is looking to stretch their dollars. 63% of the families look for coupons and that’s where SuperCoolSteals.com aims to be a reliable shopping partner. We’re in business to help American families save” notes Joe McFerrin.

In total, the Back-To-School shopping season is estimated to generate $21.35 billion this year. According to Compete ® consumers are saving $6 million every month downloading coupons from sites such as SuperCoolSteals.com.

Saving on your next family vacation

Post on May 27, 2010

One of the greatest family bonding experiences can be a family road trip. While you are saving money on airfare you may still rack up charges on the ground. Here are some money saving tips for the road trip, courtesy of www.supercoolsteals.com.

1. Pitch a tent. Camping is cheap and fun.
2. Pack your own water and a canteen. Buying bottled water will make your cash dry up quick.
3. Cook your own food. Skip the pricey restaurant and go fishing or grill some burgers on the camp fire.
4. Is it cheaper to rent a car? What kind of condition is your car in? Is it a gas guzzler? Do the math and save.
5. Lighten the load and save on gas. Do you really need to pack the kitchen sink?
6. Air up your tires! This saves on gas.
7. Bunk up. This is a family bonding experience. If you do use a hotel – spread the kids out on sleeping bags on the hotel floor.
8. Stay with friends in route. This is the cheapest option and a great way to catch up with old friends.
9. Road side traps. Beware! Do you really need to explore a cave? Plan ahead and don’t get suckered in with the flashy billboards.
10. Pack your own entertainment. When the kids and you start wanting magazines, comics and games – be sure you have packed them and aren’t buying at the gas station where prices triple!

Pet Summer Savings

Post on May 11, 2010

June 25^th is take your dog to work day! But that is just one reason to get a pet – It is summer time and you have visions of running in the park with a four legged friend. Or maybe now that school is out you are considering get that cat your kids have been begging you for. Animals are a great way to teach responsibility to your little ones and provide companionship for all of us. Yet the expense of a four legged friend can be daunting. Here are five money saving tips, courtesy of www.supercoolsteals.com:

1. You don’t have to buy name brand food to provide proper nutrition. Read the label of ingredients. Many knock – offs are the same or better than the big brands.
2. Plan pet friendly trips. Paying for boarding can really add up but many hotels and airlines now accommodate your furry friends.
3. It takes a village to raise a dog? It may sound strange but in today’s word of long commutes and work dinners you will want to find a friend or neighbour with a dog who can lend a hand. You’ll do the same when they are in a bind. This will save money on a pet sitter.
4. Self – wash please. Washing Fido yourself will save loads. Fancy doggy spas are an unnecessary frill that your dog probably doesn’t like anyway.
5. Pet meds may pose one of the greatest expenses but you can save your dough by buying online or in bulk. Check with your vet for the proper dosages and dispense yourself. You pay extra for those pre-filled doses.

Spring Saving Tips: Getting away from it All on a Budget

Post on April 1, 2010

If you’re on a tight budget this season but don’t want to miss out on Spring Break, there are plenty of ways to save money on warm weather getaways. Check out these great ideas for cutting costs and saving money from SuperCoolCoupons.com.

1. If you have flexible travel dates, consider booking your trip at the last minute—one to two weeks before departure. Many hotels and airlines post open reservations online to fill rooms or planes because of traveler cancellations. Consider reworking your schedule so that you can take advantage of these deals at a fraction of market cost. Pay attention to the day of the week you’re traveling, too. Departures on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically priced lower than those near the end of the week.
2. If you’ve been racking up frequent flier miles from holiday shopping, use them up for your Spring Break getaway. Visit various airlines’ websites to find out how to redeem your frequent flier miles for the upcoming trip, then scour hotel deals offline to put together your own low-cost package. This is a great way to save money during this peak travel season.
3. Consider booking your spring break at an offbeat destination that’s in its low season. Ski resorts and exotic locales far from beachfront party territory are two great options.
4. Look for locations where you can stay with friends. Find a hotel where with a mini kitchen so you can make your own meals and treat  yourself to a restaurant occasionally.
5. Find deals from top travel sites, airlines, cruise ships and others at SuperCoolCoupons.com. Coupons include big discounts and freebies.
