Spring $teals and Deals
Ahhhh - Spring! The flowers are beginning to bloom, the sunshine is lasting longer and you can hear the sounds of merchants making room for the new season!
Acting as "The Early Show Saturday Edition"'s "Bargainista" this week, ConsumerSearch.com Editor in Chief Christine Frietchen spotlighted the best deals of the brand new season, whether they're online or in a store near you.
Simply put: This isn't just the time to scoop up bargains on grills and lawn gear!
Running and hiking shoes
New 2010 shoes are now in stores, so there are great deals on last year's versions.
In most cases, the differences are only color and styling.
The killer deals: Top-rated Asics Gel 1140 for men and women. Was $90, now $50 to $60 at Dicks, Sports Authority
Also: New Balance 1063 for men and women - a top shoe last year for $125, now $65.
Shop fast - the popular sizes will sell out quickly.
Try online - sites like Zappos and Sports Authority offer free shipping and returns on shoes

Big sales Macy's, Kohl's, Bed Bath and Beyond
Kohl's has the best deals. You can get a 20-piece queen or king set for 1/2 price
Or try Bed, Bath and Beyond: We found a 10-piece bed set for $70 - includes the comforter, sheet set, bed skirt, shams and two pillows.
Designer stuff is also on sale - we found a DKNY comforter and sham set for $150 - 30% off.
A new bed set is a great way to create a new look without making it a major project
