!±8± Bargain Basement Shopping - When Do You Really Get a Good Deal?

Everybody wants the best buy. Everybody gets excited when they find a good deal. How do you really go about finding the best deal on whatever it is that you are going to buy. When you have something that you are going to buy, you are actually going to spend the money when you find what you are looking for, and then you find the best buy you have actually saved real money that goes back in your pocket. So, how do we find the best bargain basement buy whether its a bargain basement buy on clothes, shoes, medicine, furniture, books or whatever? There are several different methods. Let's explore some of them.

First, you can do it the old fashioned way. Remember the days of checking the newspaper ads. I remember getting the Sunday paper for the ads. I would clip coupons and run from store to store getting the best prices on whatever it was that I needed. But, of course there was no internet and gas was under per gallon.

Second, you can search for online coupons for whatever you are shopping to buy. There are coupons for just about everything these days. You can even find some free stuff. I say a coupon for a free roast beef at Arby's the other day.

Third, you can join these shopping clubs that pay you back for whatever you are buying. These purport to have the best prices but you have to spend your money first. Someone else has the use of YOUR money until they decide to send it back to you. If you count the cost of money in the equation are you really getting the best price. I always wonder if they can afford to send me back 40% isn't there someone else out there that will sell it to me for 40% less. By buying it for 40% less you can keep the money in your pocket and use it as you like when you like. This represents my preference for sure.

Fourth, you can search on line for the best price. This is the best method of insuring that you are getting the best price for whatever you are shopping for. WalMart saves 60% of their cost of goods sold when the purchase is made online. Hence, they will now ship the product to the store for you to pick up in the store for free. No shipping and since most of us go to WalMart (some 265,000,000 weekly) regularly we can get the product sent to us for free and not pay anything additional by having to drive out of our way to pick it up. But, what if WalMart doesn't have the best price, and often they don't.

The Internet is rigged. If you don't already know you are being manipulated when you use the Internet to shop. Here's how: merchants pay to come up early in any search. So, the first three to six pages for any search are there because they have paid to be there. It has nothing to do with whether than have the best price. And, did you know that 95% of all purchases are made on the first three pages of a search. Doesn't insure that you are getting a bargain basement price for the item.

To go beyond the first three pages in your search can take hours. A friend recently needed a camera lens. He searched for two hours to find what he thought was the best price. Did he find it? He paid 9 for the lens. But did he get the best price? He thought he did.

I have found a tool that I love. And, it takes me to the lowest price on line in seconds. It is not impacted by the purchased key words or the paid advertisements. But, rather it does the searching for me and gets me to the lowest price in seconds without my having to search for them. I have literally saved hundreds of dollars by using it. And, it gets me bargain basement prices on everything. Best of all the tool was completely FREE! It didn't cost me anything. I simply downloaded it from the website. I was amazed. They didn't ask me for a credit card, my email address or even my name. I haven't gotten one email from them or because of them as a result. I hate spam. If you are interested in knowing more about this tool check out the resource box and my website. It has lots of information about it.

Good hunting no matter which of the methods you choose. I hope you find the bargain basement price on whatever you are shopping for.
