Fish and Fish

Charleston Version:
Summer's almost here - which means it's swimming season! Are you feeling fishy? Jump in the water with Tidal Wave Water Sports where, with your Savvi membership, you'll get a free 1/2 hour wave runner rental with purchase of the same.

If you'd rather look at fish than act like one, head to the South Carolina Aquarium for a day of family fun. The aquarium holds more than 10,000 animals and 385,000 gallons of water! Save $1 off admission here or if you'll visit more than once a year you will likely save by purchasing the membership. View all the details here: http://scaquarium.org/.


Salt Lake City Version:

Similar write up with The Living Planet Aquarium and Raging Waters. ($4 off adults and $3 off kids)

Travel Topics

Some of these would be good in a forum:

1. To fly or to drive


2. How and when to cruise


3. Break down the hotel price - when to go cheap


4. Destinations (NYC, Minneapolis, Tahoe, etc.)


5. Deals for teachers and/or military

Grocery Tips

One day a week could be a grocery tip. The email or post would mostly be advice but it could contain 1-3 hot buy items at local stores. We could also advertise another great deal at the bottom with something like "what to get with this weeks grocery savings." We could even go further and assign a genre for each day of the week: grocery, GNO, date night, family fun, around the house, seasonal, etc.

Some ideas for grocery topics:

1. Know when to say when (100 bottles of mustard)



2. Decide what you're going to do and commit



3. Plan meals ahead of time and go to the store with a list



4. Can you save without coupons?



5. Rebates on grocery and gas



6. Baby products



7. Buy stuff so you can pack lunches when you go out with your kids



8. Learn the basic prices so you know what's a good price - set limits for yourself (ie. I won't pay more than 1.00 for cereal)



9. If you are going to coupon shop, pick 1-3 stores to follow the sales so you don't get overwhelmed.



10. When to buy in bulk



11. Easy ways to handle/file/keep track of coupons

But how do you find the perfect gift that says "thank you" and "I love you" in just the right way for the person that seems to already have everything?
