How to Save a Bundle by Doing Your Shopping on the Internet Part Two

I have discovered shopping online not only saves you time but saves you a lot of money.

I originally started shopping online due my disease and being mainly housebound because of it and then thought I would share this secret by writing an article about it just click on the following link if you haven't read the first one How to Save a Bundle by Shopping on the Internet Part One

Part 2 is long over due but I had an excuse. You will find that I was and still am saving a lot on the RRP and have now become more experienced and adventurous for lack of a better word in shopping online and in picking more online stores that suited my needs and saved me even more money and time and thought it was about time I got around to telling everyone.

99 percent of my shopping partners online are still with email cash and they are always bringing in new stores for me to check out so not only do I save up to 70 percent on the RRP of an item I also get paid back points for shopping with email cash partners which can be cashed in anytime for money or to save for an auction on a brand new laptop for $400 for eg. See www.emailcash.com.au

When your on a limited income you can't afford to buy retail and why would you want to so I was surprised and thrilled to discover www.123inkjets.com.au which is my first online merchandiser I am going to mention first because who doesn't need ink, cartridges, photo paper etc for your printer that uhmmmmm you know is attached somewhere into my computer……………I must find that cord one day you know…… anyway OMG this company is so great. With my order I placed I also received a free CD Rom for photo smart essential software, 100 4 by 6 inches photo papers and 20 A4 photo paper and also gave me a free pen as well which all my pens ran out of ink the day before and your asking boy she must have got heaps of stuff or paid heaps to get all that free stuff but Noooo! I bought a 56hp black inkjet cartridge for $26.95 which I saw advertised in a store the other day for nearly $80, no 57 colour inkjet cartridge for $49.50 and for the photos I want to print out right one day the no 58hp colour inkjet cartridge for $41.80 and they only charged me $2.50 in delivery charges that was delivered the next day to me. I have received an email that the prices are even lower and you get even better goodies with your purchases now too. When I do manage to go out and I glance and see the Hp products it would cost me triple the amount in the store to buy and without the free photo paper, and hey you need free photo paper for all the mistakes you make getting your new hobby right. Also they sent me a Christmas $5 voucher off which I will be using soon on photo ink cartridge no 58 for the ahhhhh hmmmm mistakes I may or may not have made trying to print photo's therefore wasting some ink.

When I am out at the hospital the secretary or friends you know in the shops will comment on the things I have bought and are shocked when I tell them how much I paid for it and want to know how I got beautiful brand name items for such a small price. If it wasn't for online stores I wouldn't have been able to afford a 9ct gold pendant with diamond necklace for my best friend's birthday. That's the one price I won't reveal I paid for or got it from she could read this article you know.

Okay I can reveal the bag the ladies go nuts over is a pink Condura bag with matching purse that I got over 80 percent off the RRP the bag being $19.95 and the matching purse being $9.95 at the online store I have mentioned in my last article which is www.oo.com.au at another regular store of mine I picked up House M.D. season 2 at www.dealsdirect.com.au for $34.99 which is about 60% off RRP as they now sell DVD's as well as www.oo.com.au does too now since writing the first article.

Okay so let's start with another store a DVD store as they are one of my passions. www.sanity.com.au is the place to go for quick delivery for a couple of dollars delivered to your door. The recommended retail price of a new release DVD is $39.99 while sanity today charged me $31.88 for Saw 4. I got Die Hard 4.0 on the release date for $29.82. Also with this online store for every dollar you spend you get 1 cent back so you can accumulate the cents and get a free DVD or get it discounted off your order if you want to use it on your next order. They also sell CD's and other stuff but being that I can only comment on the stuff I have bought which are their DVD's which are also cheap too and if it's a little to rich for your liking you can put it on your wish list and as soon as that puppy is on sale they send you an email and bam it's me and the latest CSI : Crime Scene Investigations are together at last.

Thank-you Ruby for your kind words. This treatment is a Godsend but it's not a cure so I still have bad days that is why I have been gone for so long. I hope you are doing well to hon.
Your internet friend,
Love Michelle.

You must be feeling much better! You haven't written this much forever, how wonderful for you and I am pleased for you. Are you making up for lost time with the shopping?

Having the particular condition you do, I understand why you shop online, however, from a sustainable standpoint, it is much more environmentally friendly to shop locally. While I'm not condemning online shopping, I think it should be saved for rare occasions. Although you may be saving money finding deals online, with the cost of shipping on the rise (due to fuel prices), it is not always a cheaper shopping solution. In addition, in terms of purchasing clothing online, you're limited by not being able to try items on. Therefore, purchasing on the web increases the chances of you having to return whatever item is bought.
Again, I understand that in particular situations, web shopping is helpful. I just don't think it should be advertised to the majority of consumers, as a guide to cheaper shopping.

LOL Lucy and Thank-you Ruby.
Now Johnny O even if the world was to produce a cure I would stick to mainly shopping online. One, due to my health I have been using taxis for a year now and it costs me 22 dollars to go 5 minutes down the road for the doctor due to the petrol hike so it defeats your purpose not to mention cars as they cost a lot of money too to go locally to the shops when I can pay locally online as I only shop within my own country and (shipping has not gone up btw)I would have to be stupid to pay 200 hundred dollars for a handbag at the local shops when I can get it for $19.95 online or pay $1,500 for an airconditioner when I can get it for $449. Shipping costs won\'t go up much if at all they aren\'t going to lose their customers over petrol. Petrol has been going up for years now and they don\'t raise up the shipping otherwise I would have mentioned it. So unless you fly to the shops your paying for fuel plus RRP. All I can think of your logic is that maybe you own a local shop maybe just a thought? Two, if it is cheaper shopping online then I will express my thoughts on this subject now and in the future so other people can save money I am not making them shop online so . I know someone who is very healthy and does all his shopping online and has for many years. You don\'t have to be sick to shop online but that is why I do it and like I said if there is a cure out there will still do. Three, me shopping at the local store or me shopping on the internet does not have an effect on the environment that is a pretty dramatic and ridiculous statement to make. Fourth, I don\'t buy my clothes online but local stores don\'t have shops for the larger people out there I used to have to go 45 minutes away and there would only be one store in the biggest shopping complex in Australia but I don\'t have to worry about that now thank god.
