Hold on to your receipts

Don't throw away your receipts, and keep an eye on sales paper even after you've bought something.

Sometimes, even after you've made a purchase, you can still get it for less.

Quite a few stores will give you a price adjustment if a purchased item goes on sale within a week or 14 days of the purchase date. Taking advantage of this offer is pretty simple too. A few weeks ago, we bought a new fan at Target. The very next Sunday, the fan went on sale for $5 less. I took the receipt to the Customer Service desk, showed it to the clerk and she deducted $5 off of our card. No problems, no hassels.

Old Navy, Kohl's, Banana Republic, Gap and Target are some of the stores who have a price adjustment policy. Just be sure you check online, the back of your receipt or in-store postings to see what the eligible time frame is.

Know of more stores with a price adjustment policy? Let me know in the comments!

Loving it for less,
