WFMW: Explore the Possibilities

Just a reminder to do some checking around before you order online. Just today, I managed to save $230 by spending a few extra minutes doing a bit of searching.

First I needed new Quickbooks business checks and envelopes. After placing the items in my cart I did some Google searches for “intuit coupon code” and “quickbooks checks code”. The first couple of sites I went to had nothing current. I nearly gave up. Thankfully, I clicked on www.retailmenot.com where there were several active codes. Most were 10% off or free shipping but one was for 50% off and it worked! Saved me over $100!

Then, my daughter needed new piano books. I first checked the site recommended by her piano teacher and found they would be right at $30 after shipping. I then checked Amazon.com and CBD. No bargains. Finally, I decided to check ebay. Wouldn’t you know, someone was selling all four books, in excellent condition, for $13.97 with free shipping! Again, less than half what I would have paid before.

So, less than 30 minutes of searching (for both purchases combined) saved me well over $100. Exploring the possibilities works for me! To see more Works for Me tips visit We Are That Family.

    Oh man, I am such an online bargain shopper, too. I always look for promo codes before I buy something. I hadn’t thought about doing that for business items, like the QB checks. I’m going to pass that tip on to my office manager. Thanks!

Got something to say?
