These days, we're all looking for ways to save a little money- or maybe even a lot of money. It's springtime, and that means that summertime is next up to bat. Everyone looks forward to taking their families on vacation during the summertime, but it can be difficult to find ways to save and make those family vacation dreams a reality. Having a few tricks up your sleeve for saving the most money possible is one of the best ways to ensure that you'll get to take that family vacation you so desire, after all.

When I think about all of the ways my family could be saving money, I write them down on an actual sheet of paper, and stick it to my refrigerator. I go in and out of the fridge several times a day, and I know I'll see those ideas and goals, and will feel motivated to stay on track. One of the easiest places to start when it comes to saving money, is at the grocery store. I know it seems crazy, because the grocery store is a place where I usually spend a lot of money, but there is a method to my madness, here.

When I shop for groceries at stores like Giant, Stop & Shop, and Martin's, I also shop for household items, and gifts. I prefer to kill as many birds with one stone as possible when it comes to shopping. The less stores I have to drag my kids to in one day or week, the better! We have lots of family celebrations coming up during the spring season, and I'm going to need gifts for birthdays, baby showers, housewarming parties, and so on.

Here's some great news for all of you smart shoppers... save $15.00 off your next shopping trip when you buy $250 in Visa® Gift Cards at Giant, Stop & Shop and Martin’s! When I give gift cards as gifts, I give at least $50.00 on them. I have more than five occasions coming up, which I nee gifts for. Purchasing the Visa Gift Cards from either Giant, Stop & Shop or Martin's, will also knock $15.00 off of my grocery bill! If I use a rewards credit card to make my purchase, I'll be cashing in on even more savings!

This offer won't last long! The valid dates are 3/17 - 3/30. See store details for more information. Find a local Ahold store, and start planning your trip to shop & save!

What will you do with all the money you'll save? I think I'll take the family out for ice cream, and put the rest of the savings toward that vacation we've been wanting to take. Surf, sun, and sand, here we come!
