Savings Add Up

You probably shop at Target sometimes. If you do, I hope you take advantage of all the savings because they can really add up. 
The company occasionally sends out coupons, at least to people who have their store (Red) card. They also have their own app, Cartwheel, for other discounts ranging from 5-10% off items. It takes a little time to go through the list every time you plan a visit to the store, but it is well worth it. Then if you use their Red card for purchases, you get an additional 5% off.
So if you buy items on sale in the first place like I do, and then add the savings from the app and the charge card, you can save quite a bit.

Happy Hours

There are so many restaurants that offer nice happy hours. If you like to eat out, you can often find discounted appetizers and drinks and can enjoy yourself while saving money.
One local place we like to visit is El Pueblo Grille in Indio. They have a regular afternoon happy hour, and also offer a late happy hour in the evening. Most of their appetizers are available for $5, and they have drink specials as well. But be warned, they do get crowded since many locals (like us) have also found them. But the food is good and it is a cool spot to relax, so it's worth it if you have to wait for a table.
Wherever you enjoy a happy hour, why pay more?
