Electronic U.S. Savings Bonds


 

Hey Savvy Shoppers & Savers,

Did you know you could transfer your paper U.S. Savings Bonds to electronic securities using your Treasury Direct account?  By using your Treasury Direct account, you’ll enjoy all the benefits of having online 24-hour access to manage your holdings, without having to keep track of paper securities!

Electronic securities give you a greater degree of flexibility and convenience than paper securities.  You can view and redeem your electronic bonds, in full or in part, at any time and then deposit the funds to your bank account.  You no longer need to calculate how much interest your bonds have earned so far; you can just view their current value online.  As soon as the reach full maturity and are no longer earning interest, they will be paid automatically.  And the best part is you don’t need to worry about accidentally losing or destroying your bonds!

Converting your bonds is straightforward when you use Treasury Direct’s SmartExchange feature.  Just gather all your paper bonds together and follow these simple steps:

  1. Open a Treasury Direct account, if you don’t already have one. Simply complete the online application to get started.
  2. Once your Treasury Direct account is set up, login, click “Manage Direct,” then select “Establish a Conversion Linked Account” in the Manage My Linked Accounts menu.
  3. After you review the information on the ManageDirect >> Establish a Conversion Account page, click “Create Account” if you wish to create a Conversion Linked Account.
  4. Click “Manage Direct,” then select “How to Convert My Paper Bonds” under the “Manage My Conversions” menu for complete instructions.

BondRewards is excited that now when you redeem your BondDollars, you will receive your U.S. Savings Bond electronically.  Not only are electronic savings bonds more convenient and versatile, the U.S. Treasury estimates it will save $70 million in five years by eliminating paper bonds.  For more information about BondRewards new redemption process, please visit our FAQ page.

8 Things to Buy in February


 

Hey Savvy Shoppers & Savers,

While January is one of the best discount months of the year, many of its savings carry over into February.  Throw in the fact that many annual trade shows happen this month and you might find February the perfect time to finally buy those things you’ve been holding off on.

1. Electronics

February is the time of year when electronics manufacturers announce their new products at annual trade shows.  This means that most stores are gearing up for the new stuff and cutting prices on last year’s models.  Electronics savings tend to hit their peak around President’s Day, so if you can wait, we recommend it.

2. Home Furniture and Housewares

Like with electronics, new furniture enters the market in February.  Stores slash prices on slightly older models in order to make room for the new products, making this month the ideal time to makeover your house.  At Sears, everything from cookware to furniture to mattresses is currently discounted up to 60%.

3. Winter Coats

We are more than halfway through winter, which means stores are already putting out their spring collections, so it’s unsurprising that winter clothes are on sale.  Due to mild weather this winter, you might find cold weather jackets discounted even higher as stores try to unload the high volume of leftovers.  Check out Nordstrom or Eddie Bauer for winter coats at up to 60% off.

4. Ski Vacation

If you are looking for a quiet vacation this month, skiing may be your best bet. February is normally peak skiing season, however, due to warmer temperatures and low snow fall this year, many resorts are offering unseasonal deals.  Look for the best packaged deals in traditional ski towns, such as Lake Tahoe, California, or Park City, Utah through websites like Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity.  Additionally, many outdoor equipment stores, like REI, are holding early sales on skiing gear, making skiing more affordable than ever.

5. Grills

Grilling loses its appeal if you have to brave the cold weather to light the coals. Stores like Hayneedle cut their prices this time of year in order to make their grills more enticing.  If you need a new grill for next summer, this is the time of year to buy one.

6. Wedding Supplies

Like grills, most people are holding out until the weather gets warmer to hold a wedding.  As a result, it is much easier to find a venue and negotiate a good price.  Wedding supplies, like dresses, flowers, and decorations, are also less in demand during winter.  Check out David’s Bridal for its wedding dress sale this February.

7. Video Games

Most video games are released in the beginning of winter, just in time for the holiday season.  By February, most of the serious gamers have already snatched up the new releases.  Check out the deals sections at stores like GameStop to find the best prices on the games you have been waiting to buy since December.

8. Chocolate

Peak chocolate sales occur right before Valentine’s Day.  Starting the 15th, stores begin trying to sell their remaining chocolates—at highly discounted prices.  If you can look past the heart shaped boxes, you can find ingredients for your next baked masterpiece at 50% discount.  Buy in bulk and freeze for several months to make your savings last even longer.

If you are looking to increase your rewards this February, remember to shop using BondRewards.  Not only will you be able to access all of this month’s sales, you will be saving for your future with the rewards you get back from BondDollars.  With a selection of over 600 different merchants, you’re bound to find whatever you need all on one site.  Keep these tips in mind and shop at BondRewards to keep the prices low this February…and the savings high!

5 Tips for Grocery Savings


 

Hey Savvy Shoppers & Savers,

You may have noticed throughout the last year that, due to rising fuel costs and increased demand, food prices have skyrocketed at grocery stores across the country. And while prognostications for 2012 aren’t as ominous, the Department of Agriculture still expects grocery prices to rise another 3 to 4 percent. So, other than swearing off grocery stores completely, how can you avoid going over your personal grocery budget? Here are 5 tips to help you stay within your limits:

1.       Create a list – and stick to it

Impulse buys tend to add up quickly, so shopping lists can help you avoid last-minute splurges. Take a look at your weekly flyer for coupons and sales, and use that to adjust your list accordingly. For instance, if there’s a sale on ground beef and salsa, put Mexican food on the menu and cook tacos or chili for dinner that week.

Also, planning your meals and grocery trips in advance is a great way to avoid spending more than necessary. Doing so will reduce the number of shopping trips you make, saving both time and money. The average person goes to the grocery store 2-3 times per week, so if you plan well and limit it to once a week, you’re sure to cut down on your grocery bill.

2.       Stock up during sales

Making smart purchases according to a store’s sale cycle is a great way to avoid paying full price. Also, buying several of one item when it’s on sale can be a much more effective saving technique than clipping coupons. Although it’s on a small-scale, conforming shopping patterns to the sales calendar is an easy way for the average person to ‘invest’ – and see the rewards immediately on their shopping receipt.

Often you can combine store coupons with ongoing sales to really boost your savings. In reality, a coupon alone might save you 50 cents, but when you use it at the optimum time and combine it with a sale, that’s when you’ll really be getting a good deal.

However, when buying in bulk, make sure to not ignore common sense. Ask yourself if you have enough shelf space or room in the refrigerator for everything you’re buying. Also, when buying perishable items, look for the latest expiration date you can find so as to maximize their lifespan, and thereby avoid wasting money on spoiled food.

3.       Buy produce by the unit instead of the pound

A little-known fact about produce is that each state has a division of weights and measures that require a pound bag of produce to weigh at least one pound. You’ll often find more than a pound of whatever produce item per bag – up to 20 percent – and since you’ll be buying at the price per bag and not per pound, you’ll save a lot more than if you were buying loose produce. Use this strategy on things like carrots, potatoes, apples, oranges, and other similar items.

4.       Store items carefully

Spoiled food means wasted money, and a great way to avoid that is by eating produce in order of its perishability. Immediately following a store run, focus on short-lifespan produce like grapes and strawberries, and then move onto slower-perishing items afterwards. Items like oranges and lettuce can last nearly a month if stored correctly. For instance, put a paper towel in a Ziploc bag with washed lettuce to absorb the moisture, and it will stay fresh considerably longer.

5.       Think beyond the grocery store

Your local grocery store isn’t the only place you can find sales on food items. Places like big-box stores, drug stores, online retailers, and even gas stations offer sales that you can take advantage of. Ordering nonperishable items online is a great savings technique if you’re able to combine online coupon codes with free shipping and cash back. Not only can shopping online be a big timesaver, but it also allows you to track all of your purchases as you go, so there are no surprises when it comes time to check out. However, prices at these alternatives to grocery stores aren’t always the best deal, so make sure you do your research before developing a new shopping routine.

Use these shopping tips to not only save money when it comes time to buy groceries, but also to get maximum use out of everything you buy. As always, use BondRewards to boost your savings and find the best deals available. Our selection of over 600 stores means you’re sure to find numerous sales opportunities that will keep your savings high…and your grocery bills low.
