Best Shopping tip EVER!!!

On our midday show today, an expert from the National Retail Federation came on to give us tips on making holiday shopping less stressful.

He talked about the usual... stick to your budget, make a list, ...blah, blah, blah. (All good tips mind you... but just the usual ones we always hear).

HOWEVER, he gave us one tip, I have NEVER heard before and I simply think it is brilliant.

*** "Shop after 6:00 p.m. the evening BEFORE a sale is advertised to begin. Many retailers program the registers the night before, so the sale may already come up in the register even if they have not signed the selling floor yet. Ask the associate in advance for any possible upcoming sales, especially on big ticket items."

Is that ingenious or what? Sale price without the sale crowd. That's what I call beating the system!

Here's to the hustle and, hopefully, not so much bustle!!!

All well and good and I hate to bust your bubble ... most stores poll after the registers and back office computers have shut down for the night, so new prices can be uploaded ... so the chances of getting the next day's sale prices the evening before is not correct ....

Emmy award winning anchor/reporter Holly Morris started with WTTG in December of 1998. Her specialty is "live" TV, which you can see her doing on FOX 5 Morning News. Each weekday morning, Holly reports and often interacts live from somewhere in the community either covering a breaking news story, previewing an event, or learning more about all that is available in and around the greater Washington area. Holly can also be seen anchoring FOX 5 News at Noon. Holly's work has earned her 4 regional Emmys, three of which were for "Best Live Reporting". She also has a regional Edward R. Murrow award. Prior to her career at WTTG-TV, Holly was an anchor/reporter at WKYT-TV in Lexington, Kentucky. There she won three regional Emmy's including one for best anchor and one for best feature reporter. If Holly ever gets tired of the early morning wake-up calls for FOX 5 Morning News, she can always fall back on the profession of engineering. In 1993, she graduated from Duke University with a degree in civil and environmental engineering. Holly is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio.
