So we decided to write some reviews how to save money on the internet. Along with saving money on the internet we’ll also write on how to save in your daily life off the computer.
Internet Shopping
Deal Extreme- Insiders In loves Deal Extreme. Deal Extreme is a web site that sells almost anything at super low prices along with free shipping. All the goods are made in China and shipping is a little slower due to this fact. Even so the goods are well made and the prices are great. Check out this site before you go to the store.
Craigslist- Craigslist is pretty much one online garage sale where you can get almost anything. Select your city and you can see what people are selling, offering, wanting, and trading in your area. Note scammers prey on gullible people so be careful. Read our full craigslist review here.
Daily Life
Garage Sales- Garage Sales used to be big events that whole neighborhoods would do. Now not so much thought the recession has spurred more people to become shoppers. Even so garage sales are not what they used to be. Many are overpriced and you’ll find that you’re constantly turning off the car for a garage sale that you find nothing. This in turn is hard on the car and your gas keeps going down. Also don’t forget many garage sales are an easy way to get your car hit by crazy people trying to get there fast. Last of all many garage sales do not have anything you're looking for. Many days end in disappointment due to the few finds and amount of gas wasted. All in all the best bet is to leave garage sales behind and go to thrift stores.
Thrift Stores- You can find anything you want and everything you don’t need at a thrift store. Cheap clothes are your typical thrift store draw. Almost everything is used and the prices are great. Better yet many thrift stores donate a portion of profits to charity.
Clip Coupons- Every week in the paper comes manufacture’s coupons. These can be used at your local grocery store to save money. Clipping coupons is sadly not something many do, but from past experience I know it is worth the time and effort. When clipping coupons look at the expiration date to know when you have to spent it. Why pay full price when you don't have to?
Recycling!- Yes there are many places where you can make money by recycling. Just turning in plastic bottles and aluminum cans can get you cash. Check out Terra Cycle where they take junk and turn it into new products while you get some money. www.terracycle.net/
Gas- Needing gas check online instead of driving around to find a good price.
