Unique Ways To Save

T

he economic picture may be brightening, but many consumers are still feeling the challenges from the past few years and planning ahead to save money. That means they’ll look for sales and use coupons. In addition, some will think outside the “moneysaving box” this holiday shopping season. One unconventional savings strategy that shoppers plan to try when buying gifts will be haggling over prices. In fact, a recent survey found that more than four in 10 are likely to consider haggling as a tactic to save money on holiday shopping this year. Seven percent said it’s very likely they will haggle. If haggling isn’t quite your style, there are a variety of other ways you can save major money this shopping season: • Dollar stores: When most items at a dollar store are $1, you’re guaranteed to save more money than if you purchased similar items at a different store, especially if you’re on the hunt for inexpensive stocking stuffers. Keep quality in mind when you’re selecting gifts, though, to

ensure they are safe and intact. • Garage sales: It may take some effort, but there are inexpensive treasures to be found at garage sales that can round out your holiday shopping. Join the one-quarter of U.S. adults who said they would consider shopping at garage sales this holiday season and you might come across some hidden gems. Get started by checking community boards and neighborhood newsletters or look online to figure out when people near you are hosting a garage sale. • Pawnshops: Fifteen percent of U.S. adults will consider shopping at pawnshops to save serious cash this holiday season. Jewelry, DVDs and tools are just a few of the great buys to be had but keep expectations to a minimum. Understand that all the items are used and may not be of the highest quality. • Follow up-to-the-minute coupons: Coupons have long been a traditional money-saving method, but keeping track of all the offers, daily deals and specials happening can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, with CouponCabin.

com’s Newsflash, all the latest and greatest deals are posted constantly, so you’ll never miss a coupon again. You’ll always be among the first to know about the best coupons available so you can save as much money as possible. You can find it at www.couponcabin.com/newsflash. --NAPSI

New Survey Reveals Americans’ “Weekend State Of Mind”

A

national survey by StrategyOne for Hampton Hotels uncovered that one in three Americans claims to be a “completely different person” on the weekend than during the week. The survey, which delves into people’s weekend mind-set, shows that more positive, outgoing and friendly personality traits emerge for most Americans during the weekend. Respondents reported that they tend to be more impulsive (53 percent), more imaginative (46 percent), more agreeable (45 percent) and more creative (44 percent) on Saturdays and Sundays. They are also likely to be less organized (34 percent), less neurotic (34 percent) and less competitive (23 percent) than their weekday personae. “The weekend is a significant cultural norm that actually doesn’t change who we are but allows us the freedom and flexibility to take part in activities that elicit these positive emotional reactions,” said Dr. Christine Carter, a sociologist and happiness expert at UC Berkeley. “The trick is to learn how to foster and take advantage of the happiness effects that can occur during the weekend. There are important strategies we can employ to prolong the happiness we experience over the weekend.” To help maximize the positive emotional response that the weekend brings to most Americans, Hampton Hotels worked with Dr. Carter to identify three simple tips to achieve

the highest happiness results and to prolong the positive effects of the weekend: 1. Take a break. People often push work and chores to the weekend but, if possible, this time should be dedicated to rest, relaxation and doing the things you enjoy most. If you have vacation time, consider spreading it out to take several three-day minivacations versus one extended vacation. Human beings are most productive— and happiest—when “pulsing” activities, working hard and then resting and rejuvenating. Additionally, with approximately three out of four respondents (74 percent) saying they are more likely to do something spontaneous on the weekend than during the week, you may want to use the weekend as a time to explore new passions and experiences. 2. Prepare for Monday on Friday. Although the survey shows that stress levels are lowest on Saturdays and highest on Mondays, many people begin to feel more anxious and stressed at the end of the weekend. To reduce “SNA,” or “Sunday Night Anxiety,” take the time on Friday morning to prepare for the following workweek. Simply scheduling important tasks can significantly reduce

worry, allowing you to fully enjoy your time off. 3. Give yourself something to look forward to. Not everyone recognizes the advantage that planning ahead can have on happiness. Thirtyseven percent of survey respondents report that they typically plan their weekends one week in advance or less, meaning these people miss out on the benefits that come from anticipating something positive in the future. By striking a balance of planning something you love for the weekend and allowing time for spontaneity, you can maximize the positive emotions that come from anticipation.

For Better Health, Make Small Changes One Step at a Time

W

hen it comes to health, making positive lifestyle changes that include losing weight and being more active is a goal for many people. But often times, no matter how good the intentions, these changes only last a few weeks. Even if you know what to do to improve your health, figuring out how to do it and fitting it into your daily routine can present the biggest challenges. Making small changes—step by step— can go a long way to help you manage or even prevent many serious health problems and diseases, such as diabetes. For example, if you are at risk for type 2 diabetes, losing a small amount of weight (that’s 10 to 15 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds) can help lower your chances of getting the disease. Try making small but gradual steps to be more active and follow a healthy meal plan. You can start by walking 10 minutes a day and gradually work up to 30 minutes a day, five days a week, and drink water instead of soda at each meal. If you have diabetes, making similar types of changes in your lifestyle can help you reach your blood sugar (glucose), blood pressure and cholesterol goals to prevent serious diabetes-related health problems such as heart attack and stroke.

Getting Started So how do you get started making changes in how you care for your health? It’s all a matter of trying and learning. It’s about choosing a goal and working toward reaching your goal. Making a plan and taking the first step will help you reach your goal. The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) provides a number of tools to help you better understand HOW to make changes in your day-to-day life to help you stay healthy. If you are ready to take the first step toward better health, the NDEP’s Just One Step resource is a great place to start. This tool helps you identify one small step to take for a short period of time (such as one month) to begin to implement healthy changes. Once you have taken a few steps, you may need help making these changes stick as part of a daily routine. This becomes much easier if you ‘Make A Plan.’ NDEP’s Make A Plan tool can help you think about what is important to your health and how to make a plan to help you reach your goal. The NDEP’s Diabetes HealthSense website, provides easy access to resources that can support people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease in making lifestyle changes and coping with the demands of diabetes.

To find links to resources from the NDEP such as Diabetes HealthSense, Just One Step, and Make A Plan, visit YourDiabetes Info.org/ HealthSense. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ National Diabetes Education Program is jointly sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the support of more than 200 partner organizations.
