As mentioned before in my post titled “Saving Money can be Easy Money“, a good way to make money is to save money.
A lot of people do their shopping online. This is good as it gives people choice. But here are a few guidelines on saving money:
1 – Look for sellers that are offering discounts. There is a lot of competition out there. Don’t go for the first deal you come across
2 – Some sites have discounts when you buy more than one item, or a specific set of items. Browse around on the site before purchasing
3 – There are sites on the internet where you can get coupons or codes for special deals at certain websites. For example, you might find a site offering a coupon for a discount at Dell’s website. Or even Folica.com coupons, if that’s what you’re shopping for…
But, at least take the following into account when you go bargain hunting:
Don’t buy something just because it’s cheaper!
If you feel like a coke, and it costs $1, but the shop keeper is offering you 3 cokes for $2.50, you have to think whether you’re saving $0.50, or spending an extra $1.00 that you don’t actually need to…
Another example: In South Africa, the Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR camera sells for about $2500. But, in America, it goes for around $1500. But, saving $1000 doesn’t sound as good as SPENDING $1500 of money I don’t have…
