One way some people save money is by shopping on cash back sites. I myself haven’t tried this but have heard a lot about it. In my efforts to shop smarter when I am ready to make a purchase I’m going to be checking these sites and comparing them to any other bargains I’ve found. Some of the popular cash back shopping sites are ebates.com and fatwallet.com. I’d love to hear about your experiences with these sites, if you use them.
I happen to enjoy comparison shopping. I am very comfortable going five pages deep in Google results trying to find the best prices. Some people are not so inclined. One popular way of shopping today is through the use of sites with shopping bots. These sites use bots to go out and scour the net for prices on an item. Then they compile all of the results and inclyde taxes and shipping. It makes comparison shopping a breeze. Popular shopping bot sites currently include shopzill.com, bizrate.com, pricegrabber.com and shopping.com. What’s your favorite comparison shopping site?

I don’t know where the year has gone. Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is under six weeks away. I’ve figured out what I’m getting some people and am still stumped on others. We don’t have bluray. I’d love to get one for RB and have been watching the sales like a hawk. I’m hopeful to find the right deal for me in the next two weeks. I almost never do Black Friday deals that are in brick and mortar stores. It’s too crowded and people gobble up limited quantities in stores like turkey. I find just as many good deals online. Do you shop in brick and mortar stores on Black Friday?
If you’re looking to do some online shopping and want to save some money check out FreeShipping.org. FreeShipping is a site that offers free shipping coupons and coupon codes for many stores. Shoppers can browse by store, category, codes expiring soon and the most recent. I saw many popular stores and products on the site, about the only thing that I didn’t see there was term life insurance. If you’re looking to save some money make sure to check here when you’re looking.
I recently got an email that Amazon has another venture called Warehouse Deals. The email said the site’s been up and running since 2004 but I’d never heard of it. Warehouse Deals offers open box, refurbished and slightly damaged merchandise. The pricing is said to be less than what the items are regularly on Amazon and great features such as free super saver shipping are available. Apparently the deals are also on Amazon at the same prices but this is just a site offering them all in one easy to find place. If a deal’s not in stock you’ll be offered an opportunity to buy the new version of it on Amazon at the Amazon price.
With the economy being terrible and our family suffering from the incredible shrinking income we’re trying to cut back and save money wherever possible. This includes using more coupons when grocery shopping whenever possible. We get the newspaper on Sundays and I won’t be waiting a week or two to go through the coupons any more. It’s a shame how many have been expired and gone to waste because I took so long to go through them. One tip for cutting coupons, turn off any ceiling fans before beginning or the coupons will blow right off of the table. I’ll also be looking for more printable coupons online. I am going to organize my coupons somehow, I think I’ll start with a big coupon wallet and see how that goes. It’s got to be an improvement over the big envelope that I’ve been using. I’ll also be trying to hang on to coupons to make the best use of them by pairing them with sales. So. Do you have any coupon tips to share?
One of the most popular sites for good deals is DealCatcher. The site is free to use and is constantly updated. It offers both online and printable coupons and store advertisements. There are also member forums that offer many things including deals, coupons, requests, tips, rebates, reviews and free items. Shoppers can browse coupons by store or category. They offer coupons for just about everything you can imagine, with the exception of diet products like Anoretix. I found some great deals on the site. One terrific deal that I found there today is the Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse at $37.19 with free shipping. I wanted to buy that mouse myself but it usually sells for $90-$100!
I hate to fight crowds and wait on lines so I do a lot of shopping online.It’s also a huge time saver. Two things I always look for are coupon codes and free shipping. I learned about a site called Free Shipping On that offers free shipping codes for more than 500 online stores. It’s free to use. You can search for stores using the company name or the type of product being purchased. With the holidays right around the corner I couldn’t have learned about this site at a better time. Check it out!
Thanksgiving is less than a week away, bringing with it one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Black Friday often brings sales but it also means the things you want to buy will probably become much harder to find. Money is tight for many people right now with the economy the way it is. I find myself wondering almost daily how we’re going to pay for Christmas, since my hubby was out of work for two months. There is a way to shop now and pay later - Kmart Layaway for the Holidays.
Kmart is once again offering layaway in many of their locations. To take advantage just go to a participating store and shop. Many items in the store are eligible to be put on layaway except things like perishables, plants, alcohol and tobacco, prescriptions, chemicals and chemical products, photo studio packages, mobile phones and computers. All it takes to start a layaway purchase is a photo id and 10% of the purchase down OR $15 to cover the service and cancellation fees, whichever is greater. Then all you need to do is make biweekly payments that are 25% of your purchase for up to eight weeks. Payments can be made using cash, check and credit cards.
I think it’s great that there’s a way for people to get gifts now and pay for them over time. If this is something that would help you I recommend you start shopping now, before Black Friday, while there’s still things on the shelves. Good luck!
With the holidays approaching people are shopping for friends and loved ones. I work outside of the home as well as inside the home. At the end of the day the last thing I want to do is pack everyone into the car and go to a store to fight crowds and wait on lines. So for the past seven or eight years I have done the majority of my shopping online. One of my favorite stores is Amazon. I can shop for anywhere from two to eight people all on one site. I always check out Amazon books, toys and housewares before shopping anywhere else. They’ve also got a great bargain and clearance section. I compare prices using their site and they offer free shipping on lots of items.
How can you not love online shopping? I click, I pay, I open the door and take them from the delivery guy. It’s definitely my favorite way to shop! What do you think of online shopping?
I have a bunch of membership tags on my key chain. Some are for stores here, one’s for a store in Florida when we go to Walt Disney World and yet another is for a store in upstate New York when we go camping every summer. It’d be great not to worry about carrying all of them all of the tine. I’d love to see all grocery stores use one common club card. They could still run their sales and people would still be able to take advantage of specials, but it would make it easier on the customer. But since that day isn’t likely to happen soon, a site like Just One Club Card is a useful one for people like me.
Just One Club Card allows people to enter card membership numbers for up to eight stores. It’s free to use. After you enter your numbers you print a new card that contains the numbers for all of the ones you entered, allowing you to carry only one card to all stores. He’s even made it possible to add in pet store cards, and other stores. The guy that thought of this had a great idea!
I am not a shoe lover. I despise shoe shopping because my feet are big and I can never find styles that I like that fit. I will be needing a pair of boots for the winter and will almost certainly have to shop online. With it getting colder here I’m starting to see people wearing their UGGs. I’ve always thought that Uggs look pretty warm and comfortable. The ones I like are shorter and have no zipper, I believe from their website they’re called the Short and the Mini. How easy are they to put on? I saw a new style with a zipper called the UGG Knightsbridge that has a zipper but they’re too tall and I don’t like them. Are they comfortable and durable enough to justify the expensive price? Also I have another question. Are UGGs comfortable and durable enough to justify the expensive price?I’d love to hear your replies, they might help me make my decision.
