   3. Have your car tuned up for winter in advance, and get good snow tires.
   4. Portable, electric heaters are inexpensive and a great way to save on your heating bill -- buy several before it gets cold and they get sold out.

   6. Have a good stock of sweaters, mittens, scarves, and other winter clothing -- you can get good deals if you buy out of season.
