Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Best Price

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

hp7_300r_pre_order_last_date._V33064137_.jpg

Amazon has a great offer on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Order through them and they guarantee the lowest price. They also will ship it free(with a $25 purchase) and guarantee its delivery on the release date. In addition to that, you’ll get a $5 GC to use later on Amazon’s site just for ordering through them!

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, this is a really great deal! I know there are other stores offering it for pre-sale, but this is the only place I’ve seen guaranteeing delivery on the release date. Just imagine not having to go out and search for the book or wait in line. It will just show up at your door.

Convenient, cheap, plus a bonus GC! Good deal!

Newsletters can save you time and money!

dollar_20sign.jpgI’ve mentioned using coupons online in previous blogs, but you might be wondering how you find those coupons. Obviously you can use one of the many sites out there with coupon codes or you can do a Google search for them, but there’s also another way to find these sometimes exclusive coupons.

As you’re browsing online at your favorite stores, look to see if they have an email newsletter. Chances are, they do, and if they do, they probably send out their special offers and deals in that newsletter. Once you’re on the email lists for your favorite stores, you’ll find yourself getting advance info about sales, specials and deals.

Use Google be more frugal!

Friday, July 6th, 2007

google_product_search.jpgSometimes you’re not sure where to start when looking for an item online. When that happens to me, I hit Google Product Search. Formerly known as Froogle, Google Product Search is a price comparison site that can steer you in the right direction. Just enter the name of the product or item you’re looking for and hit search. Once the results pop up, you can sort by price, most relevant and a few other options. It’s a very useful tool!

There are other price comparison sites out there, but I’ve found Google’s to be the most reliable. Many of the others allow merchants to advertise and place their products higher in search results, but Google doesn’t and that is evident from their indexes.

One Day Deals

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

You may not realize it, but may stores have “one day specials” or “daily deals” in which they feature one product at a reduced price. Sometimes the deals are really good, but sometimes they’re just so-so. You’ll have to watch your favorite sites and see how their daily “deals” stack up.

One site that generally has a good daily deal is Best Deal Magazines. Best Deal Magazines specializes in offering magazines at a reduced price. Each day, they feature a different magazine and most of the time, the price can’t be beat. To make things even better, they usually offer a coupon code to sweeten the deal. It’s not unheard of to get a one-year magazine subscription for under $2 here. You just have to play the game and wait for what you want.

Happy 4th to all!

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

As I mentioned earlier, JC Penney is having a 4th of July sale. They aren’t alone! Take a glance on the web and you’ll find plenty of stores with holiday sales!

Macy’s is also having a huge 4th of July sale! They have sales in every department including a big sale in the swim department. I always find good deals at Macy’s, so I’m sure you can find something, too!

Sears is known for their holiday sales. Check them out. Along with apparel sales, you’ll find grills and Craftsman items on sale.

K-Mart is celebrating the day with savings on outdoor furniture, clothing, outdoor toys and much more. I bet you can find a few Martha Stewart items on sale!

These are just a few of the holiday sales going on today. I bet if you check your favorite sites, you’ll find even more, so later on when you’re stuffed and after the fireworks, check out the 4th of July sales online!

Price-Matching can save you money

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

There are certain online stores that I absolutely love. Zappos is one of them. Zappos is arguably the largest shoe store on the web. If you can’t find what you want there, most likely, they don’t make it. ;) They offer free shipping and free returns on all their products.

The coolest thing they offer though is their 110% Price Guarantee. To put it simply, here’s what it means. This is from their web page.

If you find an item for a lower price on another web site or in a retail store, we will refund you 110% of the difference between the lower price and our price. We’ll even refund the difference if we lower the price at Zappos.com!*

You can click the link above to see exactly how this works, but basically, you can save a bundle by shopping around, finding the shoes you want and then letting Zappos know if you find them cheaper. The price-matching process is painless and you get shoes at an amazing price! What more could a shopaholic want?

Ship to Store to Save Time and Money!

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

Many online stores now have the option to pick up your online orders in the store. When you’re shopping, look for something that says “ship to store” and you can save money on shipping charges.

Stores such as JC Penney offer reduced shipping charges if you pick up at your local stores, but others, including Linens ‘N Things, Sears, and Best Buy offer free shipping on most items if you order online and pick up in the store! Even Wal-Mart now offers in-store pick-up in select areas. You’ll have to check their website for availability.

Some stores such as Sears and Circuit City even have a time guarantee for when your order will be available. Sears will give you a $5 coupon if your order is not ready when they say it will be!

This is just another way you can save a few dollars and a lot of time by shopping online. Just surf to your favorite store, pick out what you’d like to buy and order it. You save time by not having to browse in the store and lug around heavy items. Another bonus for using in-store pick up is that you’re usually able to use online coupons for your orders. You wind up saving time and money. What could be better?
