Tips/Links of the Month: Save Money on Holiday Shopping

Posted on 05. Dec, 2006 by Linda in Website Resource

Before you buy gifts this year, check out a few comparison-shopping Web sites. They help you learn more about particular products or categories (digital cameras, for example) and can steer you to the lowest prices. Which sites to try? How about shopping.com or pricegrabber.com and the new shopwiki.com.

Other popular shopping sites include:

• Overstock.com - Each year manufacturers estimate how many products they will sell. Often, they overestimate and produce too many products. The manufacturer is forced to liquidate these excess products. Overstock.com purchases these products at below-wholesale costs and passes the savings on to the consumer.
• Surprise.com – This site has organized gifts into hundreds of categories. Find an appropriate category for your recipient and you’ll be on your way to finding a great gift.
• Techbargains.com – Daily updated listings of links to get the best deals on desktops, notebooks, digital cameras, iPods or anything else electronic.
