This holiday season, I’m proud to be working with Sam’s Club to help make your holidays not only as simple as possible, but also enjoyable and…dare we say it?…frugal!

Yes, you read that right!  Frugal!  With the launch of a brand-new website called “Holidays Made Simple“, Sam’s Club aims to ease the stress and overspending that always seem to go hand-in-hand with this time of year.  espressomakerI love to shop for holiday gifts, but especially this year you need to be more creative with your spending and Sam’s Holidays Made Simple is here to help!

One of my favorite parts of the site is the Deal of the Day!  Every day Sam’s Club will feature one product that is deeply discounted – for instance, this Kalorik 15 Bar Aqua Espresso Maker is regularly priced $199, but this Sam’s Club Deal of the Day is $78!!!  That’s a tremendous savings!  My favorite gift is the kind that looks really expensive, but you actually paid a fraction of the retail price.  If that’s your favorite kind of gift too, then keep your eyes peeled and check the site every day (these deals are only available online)!

recipeAnother wonderful section is Food & Entertainment.  Whether it be family meals, neighbors dropping in or your annual cookie swap, food and its preparation and presentation is a huge part of the holiday experience.  I don’t know about you, but while I have some absolute favorites that I make every year, I’m always on the lookout for new ideas and suggestions.  The Food & Entertainment section is perfect for that very situation!   Check out their “More Food, Less Fuss” guide to get some fantastic ideas for your holiday meals this year.

And those are only a couple little peeks into what we have in store for you!  There are Sam’s Club gift cards galore to be given out, so keep checking back frequently to ensure you don’t miss any opportunities. On to the good stuff…
