I have learned that saving money takes some extra time and effort. Rather than just walking into a store and buying what I want, I have to shop around to find the best price. The internet has made this sometimes daunting task much simpler.
Here’s a couple of my favorite websites that I check most regularly for deals on clothing, entertainment and more! Please share your own suggestions in the comments.
- Groupon and LivingSocial. These are the obvious ones that most people know about. They have spawned something in America called “group buying,” in which the power of numbers is used to get great deals on local entertainment, products and event tickets. Sign up for their daily notifications!
- Woot and Steep and Cheap. Again, most people are aware of these sites. Woot is fun in particular because of how they blend humor into the shopping experience. Steep and Cheap caters to the outdoorsy folk, offering discount prices on coats, bikes, flashlights, and other useful items.
- Jackthreads is one that you probably don’t know. They offer a plethora of discounted men’s clothing and accessories, enabling you to find some great clothes and great prices.
- Finally, checking Amazon, Craigslist and eBay for good used stuff is wise. I often find good stuff for reasonable prices.
