~~The giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats to winner Jen!~~
While you're busy with last-minute gift shopping, party planning or trip arrangements, I'd like to share with you some great holiday time-saving tips offered by Bank of America.As a Bank of America customer for almost 10 years, I really appreciate the tools and features available that have helped me save time and money. Here are a few examples:
- Online Banking: This is my favorite. You can check balances, transfer money, schedule bill payments in the comfort of your home. It saves you a trip to the bank and You no longer have to worry about missing its business hours.
- Bank on the go: Mobile banking allows you to access your money wherever you go. Download the mobile banking app and you can check balances, transfer money, pay bills, and locate ATMs. Sign up for text banking and you’ll be able to send a text message to get your balance instantly in a reply.
- Deposit Image ATMs: You can make quick and easy deposits with Bank of America’s Deposit Image ATMs, which let you feed checks or cash into the ATM with no envelopes or deposit slips required. You get images of your checks and a list of cash deposited on your receipt as proof.
- No more backtracking! Try the “route planner” feature on MapQuest, which helps you save time and money by mapping out an entire journey – with multiple stops – all in one convenient step. You can add up to 25 destinations along any route, and be advised with the fastest route. Since launching in July, it has saved North Americans more than 2.7 million miles!
- When gifting, go green: Go green with your gift-wrapping by reusing paper products around the house, like newspaper, leftover wallpaper, or reusable gift wraps. When sending gift cards, choose electronic cards over plastic ones.
- Road trip rules: Seasoned holiday road-travelers live by three simple rules: 1) invest in a quick pass to whiz past hour-long lines at the tolls, 2) plot out where to get the cheapest gas along the way by using the “gas prices” feature on MapQuest, and 3) pre-pack energy-boosting snacks and beverages to avoid crowded rest stops and fast-food joints.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 895 Newer› Newest»My favorite time saving tip is making a list - and yes, checking it twice! I have a special Christmas notebook where I write everything - every gift I buy, etc. I would be lost without it.
I like to make as many Christmas goodies ahead of time and just freeze them..especially cookie dough.

Ordering online is an easy way to save time holiday shopping.
My tip is starting early. Doing things when you have a minute inbetween doing daily chores.. a little goes a long way.
I follow your blog.

I do most of my shopping during the whole year. Anytime I see something that would make a great gift, is unique and a great buy, I pick it up and hold onto it until Christmas.
Thanks so much.

It takes forever to wrap presents, so I hire a neighbor's daughter to wrap them for me. Saves me tons of time and gives her a little more spending money for the holidays!

I am a total multi-tasker. You have to be when you are a single dad. It has been hard and somewhat restrictive, but totally worth it. You also need to schedule time for play otherwise we all go insane.

What has helped is that I buy things when they are on sale or when I find something someone likes over the entire year and I put them in a box in our office. I also hand make by knitting a number of things. I knit at night and it calms me down.

When making candies, I make all of the same kind. I do all the ones that I coat in chocolate one after the next. By the time I get to the 4th pan the first ones are done. This way I only have to wash the cookie sheets once. Would love to win. Please enter me, thank you
I shop online to save time, money, and lives by keeping me out of the stores when they are so crowded.

I keep an ongoing list of things I have heard one of my family say they like or want throughout the months prior to Christmas so I am ready when I see those items on sale. They are always surprised I "remembered" something they only casually said.

I save time by sending out an e-card rather than mailing out paper Christmas cards.
mami2jcn at gmail dot com
I buy christmas gifts all yearround as I find good deals. Then I slide them under my bed in my "christmas bin" In November, I pull the box out, and compare to my list, see who I still need to shop for and then get online and search for coupons, getting as much done all at once to finish my list before the December rush.

After Christmas is when I buy all my wrapping, tape, etc. Actually about 3 or 4 weeks after Christmas, you can find it cheap. Same with decoratoins, cards, etc.
I also make a list of things we really need (like this year, we need some new lights for outside and the lighted garland for in the house). That way, I don't go overboard and buy a bunch of thing I can't use.

I get up more than two hours earlier than the rest of my family and I get a lot of stuff done. Then, when they finally do get up, I am able to sit and have a leisurely cup of coffee with them rather than rush around.
