Being on a disibility, I know the real value of making your dollar stretch. In fact for me it is even hard to get out and shop, so I have had to learn to "internet shop" really well.
I am going to tell you how to save big bucks on everyday items you need to buy, and how to get free shipping, thus saving gas and time, and how to get even further discounts on your purchases!
Food:
- Schwan’s delivery: Their prices are very compatible to that in the store; in fact, I find it cheaper as they are already pre-seasoned and you save on spices, you save on the trip to the store, not to mention the time you save. Now here is the trick. Schwan’s always has a coupon. Open up another browser online and type in Schwan’s coupon code, you will always find at least 5% off your order. Delivery only costs 1.00 per order. Now tip number 2, find another coupon code for Schwan’s–yes they will allow 2, here is how: use one on your online order and that will calculate automatically; save the other and tell the driver delivery person, he or she will punch that in for you upon delivery, now you have saved twice.
- Sam’s club online: Big savings here and delivery is pretty cheap. But I bet you didn’t know they also have an auction site! I purchased a 46 inch HDTV-LCD last year with cost and shipping for $504.00! The TV on sale anywhere else was and is $1400.00. They sell everything on their auction site! But you must be a Sam’s member to use them.
- Household products: we all need TP, laundry soap, dish soap, etc. Search for wholesale drugstore and you will find tons of place that sell all of this, most with free shipping and a lot less than via a store. Also as noted in #1, search for coupons and you will sometimes find you get an even bigger discount.
- Buy in Bulk if you can: If you purchase items in bulk, the companies will give you a big discount and you can still use the coupons!
- Clothes: You can shop at Walmart online or you can look for wholesale clothing places. T-shirts for cheap, pants, etc.
- For anything and everything else, shop Wholesale! I am going to give a list of great places to go, some you may know of, some you may not!
- Wholesale Central
- Liquidation.com (for bulk)
- Planet Drugs Direct
- drugstore.com
- Amazon and Ebay: here is the trick, spell the item differently…such as jeans spell it as jeens or genes or jenes, many people cannot spell and list their adds this way, because it is spelled wrong no one finds it, you can bid with no competition!
Always use the words "wholesale" or "Discount" or "sale" or "cheap" before your searches.
Remember that when shopping in stores, most stores will price match! Copy the great deal you found online and take it to the store. They usually will not only match the price but give an additional 10% off.
Shop for coupons online, you will find tons of grocery coupons and save a bundle. Save the coupons until the store has a sale and then use them. For example: The store around the corner just had a sale on cereal, buy one box get the second for $1.00, I then had a coupon for Buy 2 and get one free. So since I was "buying" 2 I got the third one free. Retail cost would have been 3.99 per box, I just saved $7.00!
I live on change each month and I can tell you, this works!
