Finding a Deal

A deal is only a deal if you can actually use the product. My roommate in college loved a sale. She would buy practically anything as long as it was on sale. She bought an egg timer one time because it was only 50 cents. Did she cook? No. “But it was only 50 cents!” she would proudly proclaim.

Pass up those sales items unless you actually use the item. It’s fun to look down the clearance aisle and gawk at the cheapness of it all. But if you will never take those items out of the packaging, then don’t buy it.

For items that you buy frequently, you probably know the relative pricing of it. This is how I know that some sales items are actually a good deal. If I usually pay $3 for a cleaning product and it’s on sale for $1.50, then that is a good deal. A lot of time sales items at one store will be close to the regular price at another one. Comparison shopping might be time consuming but can save you money.

Some of the best deals in your town can be found in your mailbox. Fliers go out weekly of sales and coupons. Also the local newspaper will have sales inserts that will point you to the deal in local brick and mortar stores.

So, don’t be so quick to throw away that junk mail, there might be a deal that is too good to pass up in there.
