Quick Tip: Saving Money At The Mall

This time of year, those with long gift lists need to save money and cut corners to cover all their giftees. Here’s a tip you can use when shopping at the mall, that could save you money all year.

Instead of going directly into the stores, stop at the mall’s information desk before shopping. It’s possible you don’t know where it is and walked past it, missing the special offers and coupons available for the taking.

Once I happened to notice a $10 off any purchase discount coupon stack good for Easy Spirit stores while passing the booth, and picked up a few. The store had a markdown sale as well, so I was able to pick up a pair of sneakers for under $10. A woman shopping in the store at the time got lucky as well: I shared one of the coupons with her.

The discount booth also has information on sweepstakes and free mall events that might interest you. My local mall frequently has giveaways for show and sports events tickets. The odds are pretty good because it’s strictly a local giveaway.

Drop in your mall’s info booth sometime, and see what’s available. You might be pleasantly surprised, and make this a habit.
