Largo, FL (PRWEB) January 28, 2014
Valpak Direct Marketing Systems, Inc., a leader in local print and digital coupons has been in the business of helping people save money for more than 45 years. Valpak knows making New Year’s Resolutions, which usually includes resolutions about saving more and spending less, can be daunting. Now that most of the month has gone by, how well are you sticking to your resolutions?
According to a 2014 study from the University of Scranton, just 8% of people are successful in achieving their New Year’s resolutions and nearly one-third (29%) of people are unable to maintain their resolution past two weeks.
Valpak has some suggestions on how to keep those resolutions and save money in the meantime:
1. Spend more time with family: On the days that the weather doesn’t allow a family bike ride, take the kids to AirHeads Trampoline Arena in Tampa; $ 4 off unlimited jumping; $ 25 birthday party package; Or take them for a dolphin outing to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium – buy one admission get one free.
2. Take up a new hobby that gets you moving: Bowling at Pin Chasers – 2 hours of bowling $ 9.99 per person; $ 10 off birthday bowling party package.
3. Take better care of your car: Instead of letting it sneak up on you, make an appointment to get your oil changed or have your tires rotated; put it on your calendar and windshield for next time so it doesn’t creep up on you.
Several car service businesses offer deals on oil changes and there’s probably one right near you, including McGee Auto Service & Tires with $ 19.95 oil change; America’s Oil Express with $ 6 off full service oil change coupon (must be printed); and Pelican Car Wash $ 8 off full service oil change or $ 5.99 exterior car wash.
4. Learn something new: Get in shape and learn something you might have just fantasized about – learn how to belly dance at Belly Dance Pro Sevdia, with a free introductory belly dance session.
5. Save more money: Make sure to download apps to your smartphone that can help you save on restaurants, entertainment, clothing, home maintenance and more with coupons, coupon codes and grocery coupons such as Valpak, Savings and Favado.
6. Get those honey–do chores under control: Find all kinds of home services such as plumbers, air conditioning, cabinets and kitchen redo, closets, windows, carpet cleaning that will get the house in shape again.
Instead of saying you’ll paint the house, get someone to do it professionally.
Mark’s Painting Service $ 100 off interior or exterior service;
Call a real handyman, Andy On Call, with $ 50 off labor on any job over $ 250, or $ 25 off labor on any job over $ 100.
