Smart Cookies

Most of us know the benefits of putting money in our RRSPs, but we also have short term goals to save for. Where best to save that money? In a Tax Free Savings Account. The Cookies get the particulars from a leading financial institutions CEO, then show a Rookie couple how it can help them reach their goals that much faster. Plus, the Cookies help a single Mom make over her daughters bedroom for less, with the help of an interior decorator. We find out how to get professional design guidance on any budget. Then the Cookies challenge each other to find home décor for less. Each Cookie heads off to a different source to find a particular lamp - including a retailer, an auction, a thrift store, a rental company, and a consignment store, and give tips on finding deals along the way. And isnt it frustrating when you see that digital camera, or TV, or other expensive item you just bought go on sale soon after? The Cookies speak to a consumer protection expert who explains the ins and outs for getting the lower sale price after the fact.
