Last week I introduced the concept of developing a bud-get for the holiday season. However, creating a budget is pretty worthless if you don’t actually use it! This week we will discuss five strategies to execute your budget.

1. Shop Online

There are multiple benefits of online shopping. You can save time, avoid the lines, and save money on gas. When you shop online, before you checkout, do a quick Google search for the name of the store and “online cou-pon codes.” There are many sites dedicated to posting discount codes. My favorite site is www.retailmenot.

com because that provides the option for users to rate their success when using the coupons. I also like www.couponcabin.com because they have a good selection of retailers and coupon codes. You will find most of your major retailers on these sites, and there are many times where I have used coupons with anywhere from 10% - 20% off of my order and received free shipping. Also, try to only shop on sites that offer free shipping. The $7 per order savings adds up!

2. Shop with Cash

Shopping with cash is good, because when you’re out of cash you’re done. This helps to mitigate the “2 for me and 1 for you” syndrome that often happens with shop-

ping for other people.

Shopping with cash also helps to reduce the overall interest rate that you would pay over time for a pur-chase. Check out the credit card payoff calculator from bankrate.com to determine how long and how much in-terest you would pay if you charged your holiday shop-ping (http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/managing-debt/minimum-payment-calculator.aspx). For example, if you spent $700, paid $28/month, and the interest rate was 15% you would end up paying $225 in interest and it would take you 53 months to pay off your bill. That’s almost 1/3 of the total purchase!

3. Beware of deals to save money if u take out a store credit card.

Store credit cards are tempting, because the associate usually offers the opportunity to save 10% off of your or-der if you take out a credit card. Sounds tempting, how-ever store credit cards are the worst because of their high interest rate, negative impact on your credit score, and new avenue to spend money. If we modify the example in Strategy 6, by changing the interest rate to 20% in-stead of 15%, it would take you 60 months to pay off the balance and cost you $346 in interest. This will cost you way more than the $70 that you would initially save off of your order.

4. Use gift cards or points that you already have and were waiting to use

If you have unused gift cards or points (credit card, hotel, airline, etc.) that you currently have no plans to use, you can save cash by using the points to buy gifts.

5. Leverage ability to generate points

Many banks offer deals if you purchase online which will allow you to earn points by shopping online through their partner. This allows you to earn points without having to use a credit card. Also, many grocery stores offer fuel points for every dollar that you spend. For example, if you buy a gift card (i.e. Best Buy, Nordstrom, etc.) at Kroger, you can earn up to 4X fuel points. This can be used to save up to $2/gallon of fuel purchased. (http://www.kroger.com/fuel/Pages/A1.aspx). Therefore, you can leverage your gift buying to help save money at the pump.

Cover Story

A Year in Review Detroit 2012

By Cieara Wilson

With the sand running thin in the hour- glass of 2012, we are nearing the close of one year and looking forward to another.

At the end we reflect on triumphs and even misfor-tunes of the year as we see the past 12 months finally coming full circle. Every day may not have been ideal but our beloved Detroit has definitely had some shin-ing moments this past year. The following are a few:

1. After sweeping the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series in October, the Detroit Tigers earned a spot in the World Series against the San Francisco Giants. Although the Tigers squad was ultimately defeated, just getting to that tier in professional baseball was a coveted accomplishment.

2. Whole Foods Market in Midtown broke ground and began construction in August. This is Detroit’s first taste at an upscale grocery store that will feature organic and natural foods, and it’s prime location will attraction young professionals who are mov-ing back into the city, breathing life into the Detroit renaissance. This 20,000 square-foot building is located conveniently near area hospitals, museums and Wayne State University. Not only that, but the store will boost the local economy with a projected 75 new jobs being created to accommodate patron demand. Plans are set for Whole Foods Market to open mid 2013.

3. Solidifying a great summer in the D, Somerset Mall’s CityLoft made a boutique buzz in downtown Detroit with its shopping event that featured pop-up shops from more than 40 Somer-set Collection stores. The shops opened up for three days and featured free food, live performances and gift card giveaways to Somerset Mall.

4. November was a great month for the cultural scene in Detroit with the reopening of the iconic Detroit Historical Museum. The museum was closed for more than six months for a $12 million renovation project. Nov. 17 was the official day the museum opened its door with a formal gala. Mayor Dave Bing cut the red ribbon at the ceremony marking the new beginning. The mu-seum has much to pride itself on, including exhibits that show the evolution of Detroit from the early 19oos to today, a showcase of the Motown era and even a walk-through exhibit of the un-

derground railroad showing how it was for the many slaves who traveled through Detroit to get to Canada and freedom.

5. Every year the city is fortunate enough to host a fun-filled, colorful holiday explosion in the form of the Thanksgiving Day Parade and this year the 86th parade was the talk of the town. This year’s festivities showcased metro Detroit high school marching bands, Detroit native singer/songwriter Kem, a host of beautiful floats and things that captured the essence of Detroit. It was an event that warmed the hearts of all ages and was the perfect kickoff to the 2012 holiday season in the Motor City.

FrontPageDETROIT.comRelationship Advice

By Leslie Griffin

I read an interesting article where a lady actually convinced herself that going through her man’s phone was okay. Now, who am I to say that her thoughts are wrong and that such actions are not okay? Please understand that this is not what I am saying. If she feels that it works for her, then have at it. Do your

thing.

What I am saying is that time is so precious and limited, and unfortunately we do not control how much of it we have. Our days are already numbered.

We exist in a hightechnological universe. Such privileges have unfortunately hampered and caused great distractions in our relationships on two fronts (at least some of us have allowed technology to do this). First, some of us now use texting and other social mediums as a way of getting to know someone or as a way of having a discussion. We’ve replaced it with face-to-face contact and so some of our social skills leave much to be desired.

We do not know how to have a simple verbal dia-logue. We fight, scream and holler and we are void of listening. Nothing wrong with texts every now and

then and in their proper context. But sometimes the understanding becomes lost and words and tones can become misinterpreted.

Secondly, 20 or 30 years ago, it was a little more difficult to finagle throughout our relationships. Or let’s just say that we had to make more manual moves. Today, we can just pull up our phones and in a matter of seconds tweet, text, Instagram, Facebook, Inbox, Pinterest or Sykpe an “addi-tional” partner if this is what we choose to do.

With regard to going through someone’s phone, I personally would not want to be connected with anyone who would make me feel like I had to spend my time running up after him or checking to

see if he is getting over on me. What is the benefit in being in something like that? That’s too much work. What’s the point of constantly wondering if you matter? I would never make someone feel this way. I don’t have to close my inbox if I step away to the restroom. There’s nothing to hide.

Going through someone’s phone opens up a myriad of questions, fights and arguments that create one big headache. The onus comes right back on us. We have to make a decision to connect with people who

want the same things we want and who actually show us with their actions, not just say it. When we take this step, our chances of having a more successful and sustained relationship are increased. And this is not to say that there will not be challenges. Still we must learn to accept what we are being shown as opposed to what is being said.

Our time should be spent wisely on the “front end” connecting with someone who has like values, views and desires of intensity for loyalty, integrity, honesty, trust and respect in a re-lationship. This way, our time can be spent loving and enjoying that person and growing the relationship. It takes more energy doing investigative work on someone than it does to enjoy them. Obviously doing things this way calls for patience. Plus all of the information you may find, that you really do not want to know about, creates even more stress.

When you focus on knowing self and really have an understanding of what works for you and what doesn’t (and you do not waiver in this), you make the right mate selection and you become the right person for someone else.

Spend time loving and sharing. If you want to be an investigator, sign up for the police de-partment. They need you. – LJG

life is made of.” – Benjamin Franklin
