Some deals I post include chain stores and online savings, however I’d like to encourage you to BUY LOCALLY.
There are plenty of ways to save money at local West Michigan businesses!
- Use Groupon, Seize the Deal, and LivingSocial daily offers. While I may only post one type per day, there is a link at the bottom of each post for you to check out the other daily offers.
- Use a 2011 Local First Coupon Book! If you’re giving a wine or gift basket, use the coupons to The Crushed Grape or John Russo’s Wine Warehouse, among others! If you give fresh flowers, use the coupons to Modern Day Floral or Eastern Floral, among others! The possibilities are endless.
- Print coupons from Grand Rapids Sudden Values.
- Follow your favorite local businesses on Facebook. Many are already posting coupons, deals, and gift guides. (While you’re there, you can follow Savvy Chic Savings on Facebook if you like.)
- Purchase handmade gifts by local artisans on Etsy. I’m participating in a West Michigan Bloggers “Handmade for the Holidays” giveaway series.
What other ways do you save at your favorite local businesses?
