[caption id="attachment_1585" align="aligncenter" width="342" caption="Copyright Holly's Savings"][/caption] It's that time of year again!  Most companies are starting their open season for work benefits.   I'm writing this to remind everyone that this is very important.  If you have your own separate policies that is probably one of the best moves you can make.  You might be spending more in some areas but you have a contract directly with the insurance company that you can take with you.  When you work for a company and leave that company you lose those benefits.  It is important if you don't have your own policies you take this open season very seriously. This is where you can save a lot of money during the year.  Let me explain why. (more…)

Coupons, general, Health, Online Deals, Shopping deals, Uncategorized
I've been wearing contact lenses for a long time.  Thinking about it, I've been wearing them for 16 years!  That's a long time.  Besides contacts are expensive.  I've spent a lot on contacts when you add it up.  This year I found a great deal for contacts.   If you have a Health Savings Plan (HSP) or Federal Spending Account (FSA) make sure you use that to save even more.

Feeling Better and Catching Up

general, Health, Uncategorized
The family had a great Christmas after all! Everyone was sick for the last couple of weeks, so I haven't had a chance to check my email on a regular basis, not to mention adding to my blog. I did take advantage of a couple of deals including the 12/28/2008 CVS shopping trip of freebies and right before Christmas the Shoppers double and triple coupons. I saved almost $100 in coupons alone. Right now we have painters in the house. As a big Christmas present we are having most of the inside of our house painted. We got a great quote and are amazed at the results. The house looks wonderful. It has been a little crazy with the dust and the miss placed items around house. After all of…
