4 Tips 4 Great Buys

4 Tips 4 Great Buys


1. Comparison Shop. Below you will find a list of the shopping bots that compare prices for products across many websites. You will be shocked at the variance of prices you will find. One of the gretest and important lessons to remember is this: When loking for great buys shop .. shop ..shop. Do not stop with just one bid or quote. Be bold! Keep looking around and asking and this will save you big money over the long run. Here is a starting point, try these four sites:

PriceRunner

PriceGrabber.com

Shopzilla

Smarter.com


2. If your hungry don't go grocery shopping. This is to be taken literally but also applied to other areas of the shopping spectrum. The bottomline is this: Do not let your emotions cloud your sense (and cents). Make sure you are in the right frame of mind before going out with your purse or wallet. Sounds simple enough but you would surprised at how many shoppers violate this rule.


3. If you don't need it - don't buy it! This goes back to the all important discipline rule. You cannot be successful at saving money shopping if you do not exercise discipline.

4. Sales Taxes and Shipping Charges. Don't forget to factor this in when you look at the deal you are getting on the web. So often sites (especially Ebay) will make the deal look great but after accounting for taxes, shipping and other charges - the deal is no deal at all.
