Save Money - RedFlagDeals

Fair warning, this post is either going to save you a lot of money, or cost you a lot of money.

Redflagdeals is a one stop shop for everyone looking to save, spend, or invest money. A lot of the greatest deals I've seen started out on Redflagdeals forums and there were many more deals I missed out on for one reason or another that other RFDers were able to take full advantage of. 



The Redflagdeals site starts out as a great place to view your local flyers as you prepare your weekly shopping list. The flyers generally go up a day or so in advance and many are now interactive.

The next section you'll want to check out are the forums, where you'll find something of interest guaranteed. The first section to check out is Hot Deals where RFDers post their great finds from across the country. RFDers could be considered cheap, but in most cases all that means is better deals for you. Be warned, you will see deals on products you didn't even know you needed(wanted). For that reason, only those with proven self-control should frequent the Hot Deals section.

The next section you'll want to check out is the Coupon section. In this section you'll find printable coupons, and mail in and online rebates for great products you're probably already using. Combine these coupons with the deals you spotted in the Flyers and Hot Deals sections and you'll be amazed at the savings. Add in programs like PC Plus and Checkout 51, and you can be paid to buy some items. I'll talk more about PC Plus and Checkout 51 in a later post.

Next, take a look at the Personal Finance section, and the embedded Investing subsection. These sections contain a lot of great advice, and are a great place to build your financial knowledge. Here you'll often find some great welcome bonuses for banking and credit cards. Having said all of that, take what you read with a grain of salt. I've never seen anyone intentionally given bad advice, but the advice you read many not apply in your particular situation.

I hope you find some great deals, but don't get carried away and always stay within your budget! Happy Hunting.
