scared of the "net"?
moms, this one's for you especially
my mum and i were talking about how you can save big bucks by buying things online, and the piatts have just made the move into the 21st century (or so they tell me). so, here are a few sites you need to know about.
half.com cd's, vhs tapes, dvd's, books, textbooks. buy from other people. will also show ebay "buyitnow" items. you'll need to set up an account, but it's no big deal. i will never rent again because i can buy vhs tapes for $4-$5 shipped usually. that's how much it is to rent! just make sure you buy in advance, as it will take a while to arrive. i love old technology!
ebay.com if you have never heard about it, then well, wow is all i can say. basically here's the low down: buy from other people and componies. usually: risky, time consuming (like rumaging through bins at jc penny or something), and can get fantastic deals. just make sure you're buying from someone with a good deal of positive feedback.
specialtees.com where i buy my green tea. got annie some egyptian chamomile and she's drinking it rather than grocery store garbage! happy i am
jrcigars.com well, uhhhhh, ok i've been know to enjoy a good cuban (or wanna be cuban rather) from time to time :). but really what i mainly use this site for is coffee. "what's that" you say. no really, check their coffee out from mayorga and montecristo. beats the pants off starbucks and any other grocery store "premium" brand. and beats the price too!
winebuys.com. good prices, unbelievable selection, no tax, free shipping right now on orders over $25
pricegrabber.com compare prices on anything
google.com if all else fails, google! my absolute favorite search engine. image search is also fantastic. my prof would use this in botany class during lectures! better than our textbooks.
well, this is really just a glimpse at some of my old standby's. basically, whatever you need, if it's reasonable to ship, will be cheaper online. and that's the lowdown. you heard it hear first :)
i rarely buy stuff in a store anymore. i have yet to find a good online grocery or meat store that's economical. the refrigerated shipping is just not available. peace, and happy hunting! ps. if any fam would need advice on buying anything, let me know. there are few things i hate more than watching people get scammed.
