Every January we are inundated with seed, plant and flower catalogs. Around here January and February are the depths of winter – cold, snowy and blowy, so the arrival of the catalogs is a welcome diversion. We have ordered everything from trees to blueberries; from seeds to bulbs and roots via catalogs. Know what you want.

Next, the 1,000 page catalogs will start showing up, filled with tons of plastic doodads that your friends, neighbors, and family members will give to each other only to see them thrown away by February 1. Your teenage son like to drive fast? Buy an Experience. Have someone who always wanted to go skydiving?

I remember the old S&H Green Stamp days when folks would paste their little green stamps (which they go from buying stuff) in a book which could then be redeemed for more merchandise available from the catalog. In case you are interested, you can still redeem these in the new version of this old program at GreenPoints.com.

I actually saw a mom at the park the other day who was using one of these totes for her son’s sports equipment – great idea! 44 of the catalog (including the Easy Breezy Tote) for 50% off!! I think it would be excellent for bulk shopping at stores like Costco or Sam’s Club. Click the image to enlarge.).

I remember going through magazines and catalogs picking out the things I would have when we had money. Most days I try to do some preparation with my sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren – to help them learn financial concepts and acquire the ability to wisely manage their money. Be a millionaire by midlife.
