Save over $500 on your Holiday Shopping Today!
I think I just uncovered a great business scam- I mean, business opportunity. After talking with several friends this week, I believe I will rent myself out as a professional holiday shopper- charging $20/hour but guaranteeing savings of 30% on their gifts. I just wish I had thought of this a few months ago because I believe I would have many takers on this concept.
This weekend I found out why this idea would be so popular. I believe that people are starting to hate shopping in the physical malls and stores. I have heard many people this year complain about the hassle of crowds and poor customer service. This past Saturday, everyone who lives within 1000 miles of the Asheville Mall was there to make a purchase. This everyone included me. While pushing my way through the crowds I realized that I did not see one single sane person. There is something about mall shopping that makes a person lose all sense of reality. I spent about 3 hours between 2 malls and did not buy one thing. Now if you know me, this is most unusual behavior for me. I could usually visit the local taxidermy and even come away with purchasing something. I have to buy when I shop. That is a law that I set for myself a long time ago. But not this time. I could not see standing in line for an hour, when I could go home, get a cup of hot cocoa, get my pajamas on, listen to Harry Connick, Jr, and just shop on the computer. What was I thinking- to leave the house! Once I arrived home, I felt a sudden peace. I am leaving the world of malls behind.
That is great for me, but still many of my friends are having troubles with this concept of Internet shopping. Even though I felt like my last article did a pretty good job of giving you a blow by blow on how to shop on the Internet, they are requesting more details. My friends are asking the same questions as most of you, "how can I save money when I have to pay such huge shipping cost?"
So let me see if I can't answer that question and give you some direct links to great savings. First, if you have not read last week's article, I would suggest that you start there. At the top you will see a link to the previous article. Go there first.
