Practical Ways To Save Money When Shopping OnlineWritten by Chileshe Mwape
There are various ways to save money while shopping online. You can save hundreds or even thousands a year by comparing prices on various products and services before deciding to buy. To make informed choices when buying products, you need information on price, quality and types of products available. You can get this information by shopping around - either directly, or by going to a number of different websites and comparing what is on offer. Look at prices and then weigh up what you will get for your money before you make up your mind. 1. Use shopping bots Shopping bots are essentially search engines for gathering prices for products from a variety of vendors. They allow you to quickly search for merchandise across a wide variety of sites. They are an effective way to quickly get a feel for available deals. Most experts recommend using at least three different shopping bots. Some popular ones include Froogle, BizRate, DealTime (Shopping.com), MySimon, PriceScan, PriceGrabber and Clickthebutton.com 2. Use Discount Sites / Bargain sites These are general discount sites where you'll find deals on everything from clothing and digital cameras to diamond earrings. They get excess merchandise from other retailers and sell merchandise at bargain prices. Examples of bargain sites include Overstock and Smartbargains.
