Tips for shopping

Save time and money
Buy online when possible. Some stores like sears will give an extra percent off when you buy online and if you buy over a certain amount say $50.00 they might give you free shipping. Money and time saved

Beware of buying in bulk
Stores like Costco and Sam’s club have great prices but do you really need five gallons of soy sauce or ten pound of pasta, same dried goods and packaged food go bad fast and all it takes is one or two items getting thrown away before the prices aren’t that low anymore.

Beware of flee markets and yard sales
Most people who sell at these have over inflated ideals about the worth of that used DVD player. Is it really that good of a deal when its five dollars off the retail price of a new unit that has a warranty with it. About forty to fifty percent of items sold at flee markets are fake look alike that just don’t work or can be dangerous if plugged in to a ac power outlet.

Beware of store credit cards
So many times a store will give you five , ten or fifteen percent off a sale when you sign up for a new store credit card. After a very short time the percentage rate will go up, way up on the card . some are up as high as thirty two percent and going up as I type this .

Beware of hidden costs
Read the fine print of any item that you buy on layaway or rent to own , the contract may have things like delivery and set-up fees that can be fifty percent of the cost of the item .

When having a item delivered
be sure that the item is the brand you ordered and that it’s the item you picked out and not something that looks like it but has less features then the item you paid for. inspect all items for damage . always get the names of the people delivering the items ,incase you have problems with it later
