Hi Everyone,

The secret words that'll snag you big savings at the deli
counter? "Bulk Ends." These last bits of lunch meat are too
small to slice, so deli counters typically sell them with
major markdowns--up to 80% off. They are easy enough to slice
at home, or try cutting into cubes for salads. Now that's a
great saving, don't you think?

Hint 1:

Take a peek under your outlet and switch plates. No
insulation? It's likely leaking cold air into your house
(especially if the outlet is located on an exterior wall),
driving up your heating bills. To plug the draft, insert foam
insulation gaskets (about $5 at hardware stores) in the outlet,
re-cover with the plate and add child-safety plugs to ensure
a leak-proof seal!

Hint 2:

Pay less for pantry staples by this easy tip. Saving on
canned goods and boxed foods can be as simple as where you
look. Customers tend to look at shelves at eye level from
left to right, and are most likely to purchase goods from
the area where their gaze rests. So that's exactly where
grocers stock their expensive items. For bargains, look left
to the top and bottom shelves.
