Money-Saving Tips (Courtesy of 2011 Desk Top Peanuts Calendar)

Tip # 1: IF you ever go out and buy a floor lamp or desktop lamp or already have one and just want to rearrange things. Take this into consideration, where ever you decide to put it, put it in a place preferably in a corner where it will reflect light off two walls. This will give you more light and won't take up as much energy by lessening the amount of lighting needed to light-up your space.

Tip # 2: If you ever decide you want or need to make a major purchase try and wait at the end of the month, quarter, or year. It is said that many retailers set monthly, quarterly and annual sales goals. Stores may even cut prices at these times to meet sales targets. If the salesperson refuses to cut the price down, ask to speak with a manager. It doesn't hurt to ask for a price reduction.
