»  Shopping in General Tips

• Select a stand-alone microwave unit rather than a built-in if possible. It will be cheaper to buy, cheaper and easier to service, and possibly more reliable since ventilation and adjacent heat producing appliances will not be as much of a factor.
  .
• Beware of compulsive buying especially via the internet. Compulsion is the driving force of these medias and often just knowing this, can arm you with power. If there is an item you know you want to buy, find who offers the lowest price.
  ..
• Shop for apparel at season changes to capture maximum close out sales (sometimes 70-80%). However, you won't be saving anything if you buy simply because it's on sale. For children, buy things one size larger.
  .
• Buy your holiday wrapping paper and ribbon AFTER the holiday. You'll need it for next year, so why pay full price.
  .
• Buy paper greeting cards and themed party supplies the day after the holiday or season is over. Stock pile them and use when needed. Save 50% to 70% in most cases.
