Ok, it's time to come out of the closet and focus more on what you're putting INTO the closet. So we're going to give you a tip that has to do with online shopping!
I got this tip from a message board I frequent, and I absolutely cannot remember which one to quote it's source. Sorry about that!
How to get the best price for things you buy online:Lets say you see an awesome "something" online that you just have to have.
Follow these steps to find the best price on that item.
First, copy the item name/description headline. Most companies use the same decription for items. There was a dress I bought once... the title of the dress was "Arwen Dress Style c532" or something similar. I copied this and plugged it into www.froogle.com
Froogle isn't perfect, but it does help you find more than one site that offers the product and shows you the different prices they sell it for.
Once you find the cheapest site copy the site's name and plug it into google, adding the words "Discount coupon code" or "online coupon code" or "online discount code" to find if there are any promotional codes for the store. By doing this I found that the store that had my dress cheapest also had a 5% discount code as well.
You have to check out the shipping charges to make sure you are saving money and not getting jacked on shipping.
If you have an Upromise account (or something similar) then you buy your item from the store, through their site so you can get cash back (or what ever your shopping site offers.)
By doing this my 85$ occasional dress went down to 45$ plus 5% off, plus 10% back through upromise, making the dress cost half as much as it would have if I had just bought it at the first place I saw it.
Great trip and this does work! I've tried it for several items for my children and low and behold, it works!
