“5 hacks to save money on computers”

We live in a world, where men (who is the most prodigious computer of all) can't really exist without owning a smart device for real. Technology has replaced dogs as man's best friend. However, thing that stinks is that is hits so hard on our credit cards. Well, if you are about to head to the market for the latest-piece of tech, then be sure to do a little homework to avoid shelling-out a small-fortune. Here, I have mustered-up some tricks to help you save money on your next purchase.

Use Alipromocodes for discounts

Alipromocodes is home to thousands of online store coupons and deals for thousands of popular stores in the US. Here you can find the hottest deals and coupons to enjoy the cheapest rates for the latest tech gadget, accessories, and peripherals. Whether you are looking to buy your device from the manufacturers directly, or via third party retailers, your investment won’t be scary at all when you pair your pick with one of their computer promo codes and deals.

Plump for an older-ish model

It is easy to tell that the world we die would be entirely different from the world we were born. Tech-science is adding new touches to the world of computers every other hour. Getting hands on the latest model makes sense, however, the common sense of frugality says it’s nothing bad buying a slightly older model. Retailers and manufacturers offer discounts on the older models to clear up space for new models. You can dramatically save up to 30-40% on computers having equivalent performance (roughly).

Buy a refurbished system

If a new gadget is outta your means, then the best way to get the exact bells and whistles for low is to buy a refurbished computer. They are the products that have been returned to the store and fixed by the experts. This way, you can enjoy almost new products at a lower price.  

Snap up your computer at the right time

If you’re looking to buy a computer for low, then make sure you know the best time to make your purchase. Only if you can wait, buy your computer anytime between August-September. These are the times when manufacturers are releasing their latest models and thus want to clear up space to get rid of their older stock. Timing the purchase works best when you simply want to buy a gadget, that works well for a good price. Otherwise, you can only have the option to buy the latest model by using promo codes and sundries.

Upgrade your existing device

If you own a device already & want to upgrade it, then let me tell you than buying a completely new device is not always a good option. Because sometimes, it makes sense to do some upgrades on the existing one and get the device upgraded. You can simply save hundreds of dollars by figuring out what’s piquing you. There can be a variety of factors like limited networking, insufficient memory, slow processing etc. However, there are plethora of actions you can take to avoid buying a new computer, such as upgrading your RAM, cleaning your fan, clean off stuff and software that you don't use, buying external devices for extra storage etc. Simply, get to a tech expert or a friend who is a tech-geek, tell stuff that’s bugging you. They’ll tell you reasons for the issue as well as would be telling you ways to cop them. Also, if you are a tech-nerd, then take help from online tutorials to get your creative fingers in action.

So, these are a few hacks that you can try to avoid departing your big bucks when buying a computer. Let me know in the comment section below if any if these hacks sound useful to you. Also, share if you have any other informative hack to get the best of both worlds.

How to save money on clothes

” Look everywhere you can to cut a little bit from your expenses. It will all add up to a meaningful sum” – Suze Orman

Did you know average American household spend $1700 on clothing and accessories every year. While the figure dials-up for families that have expensive tastes. Now don’t get your knickers in a twist because every cloud has a silver lining.

Here I’ve mustered-up some tricks that I use to trim down my clothing bills while looking all kinda fab whole year!

1.    Use promo codes

Honestly, ever since I started using clothing and accessories coupon deals online, I’ve stopped believing paying the full price. It’s a lure which entice me to buy more and more. Heaven knows how I beat a hasty retreat from over spending. Seeing your bill chopping nimbly when you’ll throw your clothing coupon codes on to your cart, this can happen to you too, but guys it’s worth trying.

1.    Swap’em up with your buddies

The best thing I thank God for creating friends is time when they and I swipe our clothes. We all love adding new pieces to our closets but times when we have peanuts in our pockets, my girl pals and I push each other into a pool of clothes that we no more want to repeat. Twice (sometimes thrice) a year, our girl squad gets to gather for a swapping party and keeps our closets refreshed without splurging a single penny. Must try it out!

2.    Shop off season

Another thrift trick that I use to stretch my clothing budget is that I buy things at off-peak-times. I buy warm clothes in the popsicle weather and tropical clothing in the crisp weather. Retailers unload off season merchandise and offer incredible lower prices at off peak times. So, if you’re planning a shopping trip soon, change your mind and look for the off-season stuff in the market.

3.    Treasure hunt at thrift stores

Let me debunk a myth first that thrift stores are for poors. I’ve seen many fashionistas and bloggers rummaging around vintage stuff at thrift stores. I add new pieces to my closet while finding best bargains at thrift stores. Literally, it’s more like a treasure hunt. Must try it.

4.    Don’t run after name brands

Another smart strategy to save money on clothing is that I no more run after name brands and plush designers. Specially for every day wear. Parties and special occasions are the only cheat days. However, being smart doesn’t mean just saving money. It means spending it wisely. And the wiseness is “show off only when there is need to”. I buy everyday clothing from cheaper stores like Romwe, Aliexpress, Amazon, Kohl etc. Believe me, they don’t just have low cost but are the places that stock everything that defines the hottest existing trends in fashion.

5.    Leave your shopping abundant for a while

Hilarious but honestly, this is best thing that most savvy online shoppers do to save money. Retailers loathe unfinished deals, so when you leave your cart filled with items for a while, they’ll start sending you special offers and discounts to entice you. This way, you can enjoy exclusive deals and discounts on stuff you want. I’ve recently saved a 15% when buying my Tarte shape tape concealer. Highly recommended!

6.    Sell what you don’t wear anymore

This trick needs a little bit time, effort and would mess up your changing room. But would end up getting you some money my darling. Clean out your closet and make two heaps of clothes. Throw clothes that you’re gonna’ be wearing some time in one heap and apparel that you don’t wear in the other heap. Now sell stuff online that you don’t wear. There are sites like Ebay that’d help you sell your old treasure. And if you don’t want to do that much work, simply drop off your stuff at a consignment shop.

So, these are a few tricks that I keep up with fashion trends without breaking my banks. Let me know in the comment section below if you have a different money saving trick.

Learn to save money when shopping online

“If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.” —Edmund Burke

In today’s world, the convenience of shopping online is driving a bigger set of people bananas for it. However, behind those tons of pecuniary benefits too under a few clicks, their thrifty retailers who are taking a big bite out of consumer’s pocket. Well, thanks to those free coupon websites that tickle us pink and save our wallets. But this is not the limit you know! In this article, I have rounded up some sagacious tricks to help you score major discounts when you shop online.

1.Say Bye-Bye to “Should-I’ve-waited?” anxiety!

Every single feeling of a good shopping is followed by an anxiety that yells “EEK! SHOULD I HAVE WAITED?” Might the dealer be going to announce a deal tomorrow? Well bubs, it’s time to calm yourself down a bit because I am going to reveal the best times to shop for different stuff.

Besides Sundays to be tempting to lay down on tummy, scrolling, clicking and throwing items into our virtual cart, let me be very real that it’s the worst time to shop. Because most retailers offer discounts and deals on Tuesday. While Thursdays and Fridays are next best days after Tuesday to score discounts. However, Sunday-Monday is the worst time. Shopping the right time would surely satisfy your anxiety and would surely get you to hand best deals.

2.Hit your bill with a couple of coupon codes

If you’re lucky enough that your online store allows you to use different discount codes in US, when you check out, I advise you to use them in order. Presume you have a percent based off coupon (say 20% off) and a $20 off code, must apply your percent based off first. It will subtract 20% of the bigger amount and then when you’ll chop $20 using your coupon, you’ll be ending up digging more. Isn’t that smart?

3.Leave your filled-cart for a while

On stores that need an email binding to shop them, you can apply this frugal trick. Select items you want to buy and depart your cart for a couple of days. Most dealers hate unfinished deals and would entice you with discounts or would offer you a different price. Sounds funny but it works.

4.Compare the prices robotically

For centuries, smart shoppers have been comparing prices to find the cheapest deal for their desired pick. Like many, you might’ve been doing this manually as well, but now there are sites and smart apps that scan the web and match the price. These apps smartly find out similar products for the cheapest price across the web. So, what are you waiting for? Hand one and get started right away!

5.Tot up more coupons with a slew of email addresses

Companies send special and single-use coupons to a sorted group of their clientele. You can smartly sign-up with multiple email addresses thus you can tot-up multiple unique deals & can increase your savings.

6.Show a clean pair of heels to the dynamic price traps

Did you know stores play a biased role to offer different prices to different clienteles according to their splurging patterns? Pondering how-cum companies know our splurging habits, right? Well, websites track your internet surfing history to notice your online behavior, so they can use intimate knowledge to determine your price point. The best way to avoid getting charged bookoo-bucks is to clear your browsing history and cookies. Log out your social media accounts. Also, you can try switching over to “incognito” mode in your browser.

So, these are a few of the many tricks that I use to shop online. Let me know what’s your super-saving-trick in the comment section below. I’d be on cloud nine to know if this post becomes a source to share frugal shopping tricks.
