Online Shopping

Here are a few suggestions for online shopping.
A friend of mine also wanted to share what she has learned about the Microsoft Search Engine--Bing. She said the following:
- Search on e-bay, Craigslist, Freecycle, and Amazon to compare prices before making a purchase.
- Always try to use a cash-back site like shopathome.
- Use sites like retailmenot to find coupons or free shipping codes.
- Google things like, “Oil of Olay rebate” or “free shipping code for Toys R Us” and see what sites come up.
- Start using swagbucks by following the link on this blog. (It’s a search engine like Google.) *See note below about Bing.
- Use alice for a cheap way to have items delivered to your door.
- Try looking for your makeup online. I get my favorite Clinique lipstick for at least half the price from e-bay.
- If you are considering purchasing something from an unfamiliar site or company try Googling that product name with the word "scam." Don't ever purchase anything from Celebrity Smile!!! (Can you tell I learned a hard lesson?).
- Find out if your credit card or debit card provider offers a one-time-use number for online purchases.
A friend of mine also wanted to share what she has learned about the Microsoft Search Engine--Bing. She said the following:
- An AMAZING thing we’ve discovered is that the Microsoft Search Engine is trying to get more people to use it over Google, so they’re basically paying people simply to search for products through them. So, if you do your e-bay search through the Microsoft Search Engine, they will subtract a certain percentage off of your final order. We got $160 off of our upcoming Disney vacation, just b/c we searched for it through the Microsoft browser!! The percentages change everyday, so watch it and try to buy your item when it gets high. We’ve seen it get as high as 14% off your entire purchase, but some days the discount will not be there at all. (It varies depending on how many people are using it). The average percentage off between 8-10%--but that can help tremendously!! I'm not sure how long it will last, but it can save you a lot of money!
