Resolve to Save Money with Farmington Area Deals

From smartphone coupons to customer loyalty cards, you can save money in 2012.

 

Saving money is a priority for most families. Read on to learn some easy ways to save money in 2012:

Insurance overhaul?

When is the last time you talked to someone about your auto, home or health insurance options? If it’s been more than a year, you could benefit from sitting down with a professional to see if you can save on your monthly premiums or get more from the policy you hold. Contact one of the insurance agencies in our area, such as the Pniewski Agency in Farmington or Liberty Mutual in Farmington Hills. Still looking? Check our listings to find an insurance agency in the area.

Birthday Club

Everyone has a birthday and your celebration can be sweeter with free items from your favorite restaurants and businesses. Sign up with Ruby Tuesday and get a free burger on your birthday. Old Navy offers special birthday savings when you sign up for their email club.

Join Email lists

Find ways to save in your email box by subscribing to mail lists for businesses you frequent. From local businesses like All Stitched Up to chains such as Domino’s Pizza get up to the minute information on deals and specials.

Frequent Diner Cards

Many local dining spots offer frequent diner deals for customers. Plato’s Coney Island and Dagwood’s Deli both have customer cards that can lead to big savings.

Smartphone, smart savings

Many major stores offer coupon’s right on your smart phone. Kroger locations, Boardwalk Burgers & Fries and Michaels offer opportunities to "phone it in"!

Facebook

One of my resolutions involves spending less time on the social networking site, but when it comes to special offers and events at my favorite local retailers, they can’t be beat. Follow PLUS Skateboarding, Bead Bohemia, Advanced Veterinary Medical Center, Pizza Hut, John Cowley & Sons, Page's Food & Spirits to keep up on local specials.
