How to Get The Best Deal

handshake1. Do your homework

Research, research, research. Use the internet to your advantage to find out the best possible price for the product.

2. Price match

Most large stores have price match policies. Once you have found the best price, get your closest store to match, or even beat the price.

3. Negotiate

Expensive products or services are generally negotiable. If the store that you were going to purchase from won’t negotiate, find one that will.

4. Let your fingers do the walking

Before you even leave your home, call several stores to find out their best price. It’s cheaper to make a phone call than pay for petrol to drive around.

5. Don’t be afraid to ask

For a discount, free delivery, bonus items, or anything else you can think of. The worst thing you’ll get is a “no”.

6. Remember that services are negotiable too

Painters, plumbers & electricians are all open to negotiation, as are services such as insurance.

7. Talk to others

Ask other people if they know of any specials. The BShare forum is a great place to do this as you are instantly connected with thousands of other likeminded bargain hunters.
