What I did personally to drastically cut down my spendings while shopping

Online shopping today is far rewarding and earn miles for shoppers than from physical stores.Though few incidents in even top e-tailers continues pouring, online shopping is still soaring!

Do you really save from coupons? Personally, I didn't. I had to spend more than what I get from! Basically more hidden charges of the owner's tactics. If at all I get some savings, it's meagre only.

Hence I jumped into games, rewards and loyalty programs which in my opinion is far rewarding. Coupon is easy to get but games sometimes need brilliance and luck. Once you become aware of the rules and how to win YOU REALLY SAVE INCREDIBLY!

                                    




Participate in penny auctions or any other special programs and you will wonder the results it gives. Can you get Motorola MB300 Backflip Unlocked 3G Android Phone just for $1.54. When you buy from store it costs $249.99! I got it and learnt the ropes.This I did by learning tricks given in niche e-books I got from Tripleclicks and then participated in their penny auctions.Also learn their strategies and tips provided on their website too.

I joined WAVE3 PROGRAM too. Since Free to join and I got various Deal-of-the day, every month I am saving. Just I quote one example for you- Car Tunes Direct Connect 2GB MP3 Player for $11.97 as a WAVE3 Member special. But retails for $29.39. I thus saved $17.42 (59%) simply by becoming a free wave3 member.

I will not miss any hot deals whenever functions arises in my home. Last month I ordered a platinum crystal ring which my daughter liked the most from Tripleclicks as her birthday gift. I showed her Amazon and Best buy sites  too. I did not want her to buy only from one site I show. I thought it should be the best of all!

First she waved between Amazon and TRIPLECLICKS. To my surprise, she chose the one from ECA Wang Xiyan of Tripleclicks. It's retail price is $89.99. I got it for $7.59, thus saved $82.40. A savings of 92%!!!So, I asked her that it was the price that made you to choose Tripleclicks? She replied quickly that I liked the most here than the other one and my finger should look beautiful;only the best and not to please you dear!

Moreover, I am a gadget and book lover.So, I go for all hot deals and close-outs and in few cases auctions to save my budget. What if happens if I didn't saved from all these? Today I would be in damn debt or I would not have all the electronic gadgets and 
e-books which I loved the most!

Another day, I bought a Nintendo Gamecube Console(platinum) for my family friend. He said How can I repay this costlier gift? I just laughed and asked him to guess the price? He answered $140-150?

Actually the retail price is $129.00. Discount price is $55 in Tripleclicks. Saved $74,( a 57% ). The same costs $54.99 in E-bay. Plus No Free Shipping. I didn't want another untoward incident as happened before in e-bay(delivery/shipping). In Tripleclicks within 2 days of order product is at my hands in free shipping. The condition is also excellent.

I look for not only price/discounts but the other hidden charges of course as well as my personal experiences. Google the consumer reviews and complaints.


Look for the following on how to save your hard earned money
while shopping online without falling a prey to e-tailers business
tactics:

      1. Are you given a FREE membership?
      2. Is the site is secured with lock features and beginning
          with https:// 
      3. Look for freebies, gifts, rewards, coupons etc..
      4. FREE shipping and refund options and policies
      5. Avoid shipping costs by selecting ECA's of your own 
          country
      6. Always consolidate your purchases
      7. Confirm your subscription to automate your re-purchases
      8. Leave your shopping cart unless you want the item 
          urgently as you get more discounts from retailers after
          2 or 3 days from your checkout time
     9. Check for their customer support fax,email,phone,live chat
    10. Never trust comparison sites because you won't get accurate
          data of large retailers and hidden charges like shipping etc..
    11. Use credit/debit card to get discounts only if your card has
          merchant- funded rewards programme else paypal is secure
    12. Give your e-mail to your favourite retailers to attract more
          discounts and updates
    13. Also make use of social media connections like facebook
          and twitter to checkout recent news of your retailers
    14. Local stores like PriceBaba.com lists prices of various local
          stores in a chosen city, which is best than big online giants
    15. Get only valid coupon codes from trusted sites
          like RetailMeNot.com
    16. Have a list of codes, stack it. Remember to enter the bigger 
          amount say 15% discount and then a coupon of $10
    17. Sites like e-bay.com lets you with referral shopping to earn
          cashback
    18. Before choosing a product, be aware of stores return policy
    19. Participate in contests, games, loyalty programmes
    20. Read for the tips and strategies first before leaping directly
          to penny auctions

How about if you find almost a matching online shopping
site today? Of the above 20 points, I assure you Tripleclicks matches 18 of these. 

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT TRIPLECLICKS

However, I would like to admit few limitations in using Tripleclicks

 1. Only few products have Free Shipping
 2. All sellers aren't trustworthy, since anyone can sell items
     chances are there for you to be duped, especially when you
     purchase used items
 3. Setting up a store requires fulfilling applications which takes
    a long time usually
 4. If you aren't an ECA, you can sell only used items.

But as a general rule,any system has its own limitations and advantages in general. I experienced before in ebay too. If
anyone of you reading this blog can say "no" to my question
I'm astonished and I would like to switch over again.

I SAVED A LOT HERE.WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Last but not least, don't wait until last minute to shop. You will 
miss various offers and sales plus you will be paying extra for
shipping and you don't have your gift when you need it.   

Look forward for review of Tripleclicks most selling and popular
products, selling like hot cakes with 100% customer satisfaction.
