Want to spend less on kids' toys this holiday season? Grab a cup of coffee, and spend some time reading your newspaper's most recent toy ads. Several stores, including Wal-Mart and Target, are offering price matching this season, which means they'll match any price printed in a competitor's ad circular. This kind of bargain hunting may require more of a time investment up front, while you're comparing ads and planning your shopping strategy. However, spending less time running from store to store, and knowing that you're getting the best price, is well worth it. Just don't let your kids find your stash of marked-up toy ads!

I just read that there is actually an app for that on the iPhone. Price comparison isn’t new but this is a whole new level!
That’s me. I get it all organized – and then leave the list on the table for my kids to find.
Good advice! Now that I’m older, I would rather spend some time at home with a cup of coffee than on my feet.
