He says your game plan should include research, especially now that sites like his have the flyers you'd normally see Thursday morning in the newspaper and only have a short time to digest. "It turns the tables and gives you all the information now in a way the retailers aren't really used to," Wilson said. The key to getting deals is knowing what you want and being strategic about when and where to get it, whether on the Magnificent Mile or somewhere closer to home. When preparing your holiday shopping game plan, a little research goes a long way. Check online to see if the stores you plan to hit will match competitor's prices. That way you can cut down the number of places you have to stand in line. Follow the Facebook and Twitter pages of your favorite stores. Sometimes companies share advance information about big deals with their social media followers before the regular public. And set a benchmark. Check normal prices and compare deals – to make sure you're really getting a big percentage off. "Don't just say, "oh I want that thing.' If it's 50 percent or better, then it may be worth hitting the streets and getting out there," she said. At a coupon seminar last week suburban Chicago super-couponing expert Jill Cataldo urged shoppers to beware of getting caught up in holiday hype and make sure their deals are really worth it. So make sure your plan is ready, some shoppers are even turning Thanksgiving dinner into a late lunch. "We normally start dinner at about 6:30 but because some of the stores are opening at 8 and 9 we're actually going to have it at 3:30," said Chicago shopper Monica Dixon. "I think we just love a deal." Experts say serious shoppers should even plan their wardrobes. Wear layers so you don't end up racing around a hot store sweating in a thick winter coat.]]> http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/images/wls/cms_exf_2007/_video_wn_images/8890616_223x126.jpg 126 223 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:29:00 GMT 8890295 Healthbeat Report: Freezing for the Future

So how successful is egg freezing? Well, some insist there's more to learn but some studies are showing frozen eggs have a fertilization rate between 71 and 79 percent. The pregnancy rate is between 36 and 61 percent.

"It would probably be a disservice to recommend for everybody to freeze eggs," said Dr. Trukhacheva. With no plans for marriage anytime soon, Troy Dickerson turned to egg freezing at 37. At 43 she is now the overjoyed single mother of two boys, ages 3 years and 5 months. She urges others not to take this lightly. "Mentally, you have to be very strong because there are ups and down through the process," said Dickerson.

Most doctors are supportive of egg freezing for women diagnosed with cancer and other diseases or for couples facing serious infertility. But the point is lifting the experimental label from this technique could encourage more clinics to start publicly reporting success rates using frozen eggs. That might encourage more healthy women to use it as a family-planning method.
