According to the ancient Mayan calendar, the end of the year will be coming on December 21^st, 2012.  I began thinking about it and I realized I’m pretty unprepared.  Now, I want to survive the Apocalypse just as much as the next person…but if you’re like me, don’t want to pay full price for survival supplies just in case the ancient calendar is (gasp) wrong.  So, I present to you my discounted “apocalypse shopping list” with the help of Spreadsave.com:

Running shoes:  The end of the world is coming, so what will you be wearing?  I’m not sure what I might find myself running from, but I think I should be equipped with proper footwear so I can sprint to my full ability (which is not very fast).  Good thing there’s an exclusive link for $15 off $100 or more for Sports Authority if you take my advice and want to grab yourself a great pair of athletic sneakers as well.

Outerwear:  Having experienced some severe weather conditions recently, I’ve gained a new appreciation for a warm, waterproof jacket.  I don’t know what kind of weather the end of the world will bring but Columbia is offering 30% off any order right now so I plan to take advantage of it.

Last meal:  If the end of the world is really coming, I want to make sure I have something delicious to eat as my last memory.  Everyone knows Jelly Belly jellybeans come in a variety of unique flavors, so I think this is a good choice for everyone (I mean, you can enjoy the taste of popcorn, root beer, and pina colada in one pack!)  And right now, you can $5 off your order of $25 or more… that’s pretty sweet.

Everyone’s survival list is different…but regardless of what might be on yours, you shouldn’t pay full price.  So Reason #6 why I Love Spreadsave:  Providing the best deals on supplies for 12/21/12 and beyond.

Right now Sears is offering some great sales on Black Friday ticket items, like this 47” LED HGTV for only $699.99!  Deals like these make me wonder what I would do if it weren’t for the internet…I can only laugh at the thought of trying to physically obtain this item in a herd of crazed shoppers on Black Friday!

Lowe’s is also offering some great deals, and you can get free shipping on your orders of $45 or more.  I don’t know about you but I always have a hard time shopping for the guys in my family.  So this year they’re all getting power tools…I heard they like that kind of stuff.

In true hipster fashion (literally), Urban Outfitters is offering some great merchandise so you can shop Black Friday before it becomes too mainstream.  Items start at only $5 and you can get some really great stuff like moustache bandages, so you can observe “Movember” without having to deal with the hassle of growing out your facial hair!

Of course, when you shop through Spreadsave it’s like everyday is Black Friday! We put all the deals together in one place so you don’t have to search around to know you’re getting the best deals possible.  So tomorrow you can help yourself to seconds knowing you have the next morning to sleep it off!

Reason #5 why I Love Spreadsave: Black Friday deals every day of the year!

Grapes AND fermentation is a good combination too!

As our name implies, Spreadsave likes to combine things.  We like to help people “save”, and we really like it when they “spread” those savings to their friends and family.  We want to make it easy as possible for you, the saver, by offering a site that combines all your favorite stores and the best deals for them.  I like to combine things too, and I’m mildly upset that missed the opportunity to use the word “Blogtober” last month!  So, in the name of saving in Blogvember, here are some great deals that you can combine for extra satisfaction:

• Spice up your kitchen with a great deal from Cooking.com, like up to 50% off Guy Fieri Cookware (his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a guilty pleasure of mine!).  Then stop by Wine.com to get $10 off your order of $150 or more.  I personally love cooking with wine.  Sometimes I’ll even add it to the food!

• Nothing helps me relax more than curling up with a good book and a hot cup of tea after a long day of work.  Right now, you can get a coupon code for Mighty Leaf  Tea for 15% off green teas.  Then visit Abebooks.com for the newest novels and free shipping.  (I know The Racketeer is next on my reading list!)

Of course, if you’re partial to more traditional combinations, you can always head on over to Restaurant.com and use one of our nearly 50 deals to get some great gift cards for those “dinner and a movie” nights, where you can get “soup and salad”, or maybe just “dessert and drinks”…okay, I’m getting carried away now.

Reason #4 Why I Love Spreadsave: great deals on winning combinations!

The nights are getting longer; the trees are shedding their leaves while the brisk autumn wind makes them move like characters out of a Tim Burton movie.  I couldn’t imagine a better season to celebrate ghouls, goblins, and ghosts than fall!  (Another plus is I can eat as much candy as I want and not have to worry about my figure under the sweaters and coats ) With all the excitement surrounding Halloween, it’s easy to get caught spending more than you’d expect on everything from candy to costumes.  In fact, according to the National Retail Federation, total Halloween spending for Americans is expected to reach nearly $8 billion dollars this year!  Of course, being thrifty and making your own costume is definitely one of the best ways to save money on this haunted holiday.  But for those of us who aren’t as creatively inclined (I know I’m not!), Spreadsave has some scary good deals so you won’t miss out on getting the best price for costumes, decorations, and event tickets!  Check these out:

-          $2 off HalloweenParties.com & Barcrawls.com:  A Spreadsave exclusive! Take a short challenge to get $2 off your purchase order for tickets to the hottest Halloween events in major cities like New York, Boston, Miami, Las Vegas, and Chicago!

-          Spirit Halloween Superstore: Still need something to wear this year? Or maybe you want to have an inventory for next year’s festivities?  Check out the great discounts at Halloween Express, like 20% off any order!  Order now so they arrive in time for Halloween!

-          Ebooks.com: Feel like staying in on Halloween?  Doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the scares! Why not get yourself caught up in one of Stephen King’s spine-tingling bestsellers, at an equally shocking price! Check them out here!

In case you are ambitious enough to make your own costume, I wish you the best of luck and would love to hear about your costume ideas in the comments section below. In case you’re not though, you can empathize with me when I say…

Reason 2 Why I Love Spreadsave: Just because you can’t sew, doesn’t mean you can’t save!

…or maybe I can.  Actually yeah, that’s what I’ll do.  From now on, this blog will be a list of reasons why I love Spreadsave and why you should too!  So follow along and get to know us as we tell our story on a day-to-day basis.  Ok, maybe not day-to-day, but definitely the weekdays. (unless I’m super excited about something that can’t wait till Monday)

So maybe you’ve seen the video below or have used the site and already know what we’re all about.  In case you haven’t though, here’s the rundown:

• Spreadsave is your source for all the best daily deals and coupons
• You buy stuff and get cash back
• You share stuff and get cash back (and so does the person you shared the deal with)

End result:  Happiness. (And a sweet discount on that cutlery set you’ve had your eye on.)

Super easy, right?  So, this brings us to Reason #1 to love Spreadsave: a penny saved truly is a penny earned!  How many other sites can say they give literal meaning to idioms?
