Feelings are an interpretation of events that happen to you in life; interpreter is soul and hence is root of feeling. Acknowledging these feelings leads you into contact with your soul and therefore a greater understanding of self.

Feelings and emotions can manifest tension in different areas of your body. For instance, there are sympathetic points in sternocloidemastoid (the frontal muscle of your neck). When your emotions get backed up and are not dealt with, this muscle can become tight and lead to irritability, headaches and lot more.

Simply by dealing with a feeling, such as standing up for yourself can ease these muscles and save you from pain and suffering. This is just a physical manifestation of feelings, deeper feelings and emotions that are left in “too hard basket” can lead to lack of focus, motivation, hypertension & depression.

When you become one with your feelings, you merge with yourself and are free to observe and enjoy life in all its glory. It is your feelings that guide you towards meanings of questions you are here to answer; they guide you to your niche in life where you are happiest and able to learn most in easiest of life’s ways.

For example, it is your feelings and emotions which enable you to identify your greatest love in life -- your own identity! Acknowledging them would lead you to take that on as a physical profession, and in doing so you dissolve one of largest constraints of modern life – work. In doing something you love you’ll never have to work again because every day is play!

Some people get a buzz from accounting, some from skateboarding, others from retail and still others from law. No one knows why or understands someone elses passion but that’s OK because they don’t need to!

It is feelings and emotions your soul transmits to you that will lead you towards your true identity and happiest life possible, and living a happy life is what we all dream about, isn't it?

6.Shopping Day Savings Passes, Just Ask Several national retail stores offer Shopping Day Savings Passes, coupons offering customer anywhere from 10-20% off every purchase made throughout that day. These “savings passes” are available at customer service desks. All you need to do is ask. One large retailer that offers these passes is Macys.

7.Those People with Scanners – They Know More Than You Think Ever go into a store and see some of associates with a scanner scanning items? Well, more than likely those are “Ad Setters” responsible for placing sale signs for upcoming sale events. Almost every store has an Ad Set Crew. Some stores have Ad Set Crew set ads for upcoming sales after store closing. Most, however, have Crew start setting ads a few hours prior to closing. Shop during these hours and seek these people out. Why? They are most knowledgeable about what store sales are best for customers and when these sales are going to occur since they know about upcoming sales weeks in advance. If you are wondering if an item you are interested in purchasing is cheaper during current sale or cheaper during an upcoming sale, they can usually scan it and tell you. I have helped countless customers save this way and then proceeded to tell them about day prior, day later rule covered in tip number three. Most regular sales associates don’t have this inside information about upcoming sales, nor do they have ability to find out what upcoming sales prices are going to be on items - that’s why you need to speak to an Ad Setter.

8.Imperfections = Discounts, Even Packaging Everyone probably knows about getting an additional discount on imperfect merchandise, but many don’t know that imperfect packaging gets same discounts. The store I work at, like most stores, has a policy that allows at least an additional 10-20% discount on damaged items. Even if only damage is to an item’s packaging, we gladly give this discount when someone asks. As a result, I have learned to purposefully seek out items that have damaged packaging and to always ask for this extra discount. To date, I have always received it. Being willing to purchase items with damaged packaging creates a win-win situation for both customers and store: store gets rid of slightly blemished items and customers save money.

9.Forgot Your Extra Savings Coupon – No Problem, Just Tell Cashier Many stores send out extra savings coupons to holders of their credit cards or loyal customers on their mailing list. Sometimes, however, customers get to register only to realize that they forgot to bring their “Extra Savings Coupon” with them. If this happens to you, no problem, since most stores have a policy granting discount to customer anyway just by telling cashier that you forgot your savings coupon.

10.The Clearance Merry-Go-Round Most stores have what is called “back stock.” This usually refers to clearance items that have not sold during previous season’s clearance sales. These items are placed in a designated area in stockroom and then brought back out onto sales floor during a store’s next seasonal clearance event. For example, January and February are two good months to find last season’s bathing suits on clearance in many stores. May and June are good times to find heavy coats and leather jackets at rock-bottom prices. I know our store does this routinely, and have found this to be true for several other major retailers as well.

I hope you are able to save tons of money as I have by using these ten tips. Prior to working in retail I would have considered myself a frugal and smart shopper but have since become even better and saved more. By learning ins-and-outs of retail world and by using these tips, I now pay less for brand-new brand-name clothing, shoes, accessories, and home goods than I had previously paid at thrift stores and I hope you do too. Happy Shopping and Saving!
