Hello All-
We unfortunately live in a day in age where identity theft is rampant. I have been reviewing information regarding this phenomenon and as a previous victim of an identity theft crime, I feel that id protection ranks up with any type of insurance you carry.
I have been reviewing the company "Lifelock" and I am sure you have seen the commercials on TV. I decided to sign up for this important service today and was excited to find a promo code for 1 year free and $99/year for service after the first year. This service covers 1 person, but you could sign up each member of your family using the promo code and they could all receive this special discounted plan. The promo code is VIP and it can be entered in the promo code spot at www.lifelock.com
They also offer a service for children and I am going to sign my daughter up. What is happening now is that kids are being targeted because chances are we aren't checking their reports and issues can be hidden for years until they come to a point they would apply for some type of credit. This could be devastating to them, the child protection is cheap and I feel worth it.
If you have any questions, let me know. I am happy to know I am being protected against ID theft and all the freebies you get with this service are great...I was truly surprised at what all they do for you.
Happy Savings!

CROCS- Sale at Nordstrom!
Hello All-
If your child is a fan of Crocs shoes, you understand why they are so great. If you haven't checked these shoes out I highly recommend them for ease of use and durability/versatility.
It is a great time to stock up on Crocs during Nordstrom.com or stores half yearly sale. On-line they have Crocs for $14.90-$17.90, regularly @ $32....this is the best deal I have ever seen on these! I recommend stocking up for future sizes if you child likes them, you can save quite a bit!

Price Matching- Tips
Hello All-
Sorry for the delay in posts! Hope you are all well.
I wanted to do a piece on price matching as it is worth your time and effort to pursue this option when shopping retail. I will use a recent example to explain the process.
My husband wanted a pair of Keen water sandals for an upcoming trip. He needed them within 1 week. This was the first challenge to finding a good deal. My rule of thumb is that good deals need to be planned for ahead of time, but if their is a will (and a need) and if there is a way (he knew I could find one), we searched out our options for snagging an in-season item at an off-season price.
Being a savvy shopper, when he mentioned this shoe purchase to me I remembered that REI was having their Anniversary Sale for 1 item at 20% off. I checked the website and found that Keen shoes were already on sale at the store 27% off so we couldn't use the coupon as that was only for full price items, but we would still save some money. Upon arriving at the store we found the selection really picked over. Paul wanted black, they didn't have in the store. I checked online and REI had them in stock at the sale price, free shipping to the store, but they wouldn't arrive in time. I moved to Plan B.
We saw that Keen shoes were advertised at Joe's in the sunday circular. Side Note: be careful with Joe's advertising. They are notorious for showing items in the flyer making you think they are on sale, when in fact they just are at the store (they are making you aware of available products). Paul said they were on sale (I didn't verify this at first) so I went to the store found Black and the size he needed and went to the register to be disappointed they were regular price. I love Keen, in fact I would own only this brand if I had to pick 1 shoe brand, but I AM NOT paying full price if I don't have to! They are worth the cost, but by off-season shopping I have gotten this brand at 50% off, so I am not about to pay full price.
I remembered seeing somewhere that Joe's price matches as do many retail stores and on-line stores. Check the customer service pages on-line or visit the customer service booth at a retail store and inquire about their policies. I took my shoes up to customer service with my information about REI's sale and they promptly refunded me the price difference! I walked away feeling good about my purchase!
Tips for price matching:
Bring a copy of the ad/flyer or where the sale price is posted.
Bring the phone # of the establishment you saw the item on sale.
Having these things will speed up the refund process.
Some stores won't match on-line pricing if you are at a retail store and vice versa, but it never hurts to ask! Also, many stores these days are offering a 14+ day price adjustment so watch this for potential refunds! Also, some stores will require the other store to have the exact color or size available at the store to match you, but again ASK....it can't hurt and you can save A LOT!
Happy Saving!-
