Frugal Living Tip #8: Use Social Media

savvy_125

Before I attended the savings.com Save Up ‘09 Event in San Francisco last fall (video | post), I’ll admit I only had a vague inclination of what Twitter is all about. None of my friends use it. For the most part, I was relying on the Sunday paper insert and blogs for the source of my coupons.  Now, I realize the value of social media in saving money!  Here’s my two cents:

Facebook:

Go directly to the source! A company’s Fan Page gives you direct access to coupons, promotion codes, and free samples. Get their updates in your news feed. Become a fan of Savvy Chic Savings while you’re there!  My feed updates to the fan page nightly and I’ll often post more time-sensitive deals during the day.

Twitter:

Real-time deals!  Some coupons or sample giveaways go quickly due to the volume of readers in the frugal blogosphere. Follow your favorite companies for immediate access to coupons, promos, and giveaways. Of course, you’ll want to follow SavvyChicSaving on Twitter, too!

If you’re not quite ready to jump on the Twitter Wagon, watch the “Recent Tweets” widget in the right-hand side bar.  You’ll find my 5 most recent tweets. Sometimes I don’t have time to write up a full post about a deal (this is only a part-time hobby… wow I said “hobby” which is almost as cool as admitting I knit!?!) so I’ll retweet someone else’s post. Simply click on the link and go straight to their deal!

Email:

I know for some of you, this “social media” just isn’t your bag and never will be. If that’s the case,  just subscribe to my once-daily emails so you don’t have to leave the comfort of your inbox to get all the deals!  You don’t have to use your “coupon email” for this, I prefer to be delivered to the personal account. ;-)

How do you feel about social media?  Do you find Facebook or Twitter more helpful in saving money?  Share your thoughts…

Frugal Living Tip #7: Create a Coupon Email

savvy_125

Today’s tip may be more obvious to you than it was to me, at first.

Frugal Living Tip:  CREATE A SEPARATE EMAIL FOR COUPONING

Many coupons require registration with the company’s website/newsletter.  Use an email address other than the personal account you use for everything else.  While getting extra coupons via email is very convenient, it will fill up your inbox in a hurry!  If you have a separate account you can check when you have an extra minute it makes it much easier/faster to sort through all the promotional emails!

*This should probably be the same email you use for sites such as Ebates, Shop at Home, and Alice.com.

(I just finished the process of unsubscribing my personal account/resubscribing with my coupon email.  Save yourself the time!)
