Friends Don’t Let Friends Pay Full Price
Posted by BrattyJeni on February 10, 2009
We’ve all heard the term Friends Don’t Let Friends Drink & Drive. So when we can find such great deals with online shopping…. Why would we let our friends pay retail prices? Everyone that knows me knows that I do not pay retail for anything. I love getting great deals and I want to share that love with others. I’m not talking about being cheap here. I’m talking about getting the same quality products for a portion of the cost.
Just recently I was caught out wearing a leather Def Leppard jacket (retail $395) and my friend asked how much I got it for. Being very proud of myself and shopping/saving money skills I simply said, “Only $35 shipped to my front door from Wilsons Leather.â€
You should have seen her chin hit the floor…. PRICELESS! As you can imagine this led into some of the other bargains I have purchased and my savings throughout the year. She was amazed, almost speechless. I shared a few simple steps for saving money with online shopping, and would like to share with you too. Happy Shopping & Saving!!
1. Know what it is you want/need to shop online for.
2. Then using Pricetaker search the item you want to purchase. This will allow you to find the vendor with the cheapest available price. But wait, it gets better!!
3. Going to our coupon section locate the store you will shopping at. There you find current coupon codes to enter at checkout. This will drop your price even further!! Some stores will even let you stack coupon codes! (For example, you might find a code to get $30 off a $100 purchase and then a second code for free shipping!) But wait, it still gets better!
4. Use a credit card to pay for the purchase that gives you points, cash-back, air-line miles, hotel savings, etc just for using it. It’s very common these days to have a card in your wallet that awards you just for using it. (Pay off monthly balance)
Tips:
Internet shopping is all about convenience, bookmark site before you start shopping for quick and easy access.
Plan ahead – make a list of the things you need. Ex: Birthdays, Anniversary’s, etc….
Don’t make purchases just because you’re getting a great deal. Make sure you’re shopping for things you need and/or will use in the near future.
