Holiday Shopping Tips

	Start in January--take advantage of year-round sales and seasonal purchases.
	Watch the newspaper for sales.
	Preplan your trip so not to waste time and don't forget your list. It helps resist those impulse purchases.
	Dress comfortably.
	Shop early when the stores open to avoid the crowds.
	Go alone.
	Take periodic breaks if you plan on shopping the entire day.
	Travel light. Have store wrap and deliver items if possible.
	Shop from mail order catalogs.
	Take advantage of shopping on-line. My favorite on-line mall: Affinity Park Mall.
