<strong>Easy</strong> <strong>Ways</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Save</strong> <strong>Money</strong> <strong>Online</strong><br />

Everybody loves a bargain. Whether saving on a buy one, get one free offer in a supermarket<br />

or finding out that a much sought after gadget has just fallen in price, the chance <strong>to</strong> save<br />

money cannot be ignored. The popularity of auction sites such as eBay, for instance, would<br />

not be nearly so high if all the items listed were sold at recommended retail price. Likewise,<br />

in recent years the internet has been invaded by hundreds of price comparison websites that<br />

make finding a bargain online even easier. With information at everybody’s fingertips, then,<br />

many easy ways <strong>to</strong> save money have surfaced.<br />

Social media sites are eminently popular, for example, and with millions of users on<br />

Facebook, the website is a regular venue for advertisements in the hope of attracting new<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers. While large companies regularly pay Facebook for marketing, smaller businesses<br />

and individuals can also easily connect with people through their network of friends. Siimba<br />

is a social challenge club that has capitalised on the idea of promoting its bargains through<br />

social media sites. Becoming a member of Siimba has many benefits, and through a small<br />

monthly membership fee and social challenge participation, many gadgets such as<br />

smartphones and LED TVs are reduced <strong>to</strong> often less than £100.<br />

The social challenges required by Siimba typically require one person on a member’s social<br />

network <strong>to</strong> like the Siimba page per day for 25 consecutive days. Then the deals can begin<br />

and many products are available at up <strong>to</strong> 90% off their normal cost.<br />

As useful as social challenge sites can be, they might not be able <strong>to</strong> cater <strong>to</strong> every cus<strong>to</strong>mer.<br />

Alternative ways <strong>to</strong> save money online include auction sites as well, and sites like eBay are<br />

often the next best choice. Almost anything can be bought and sold on eBay with the<br />

website’s emulation of an auction house online. Given its format, bargains can be found all<br />

over eBay, with many vendors willing <strong>to</strong> accept low prices just <strong>to</strong> offload the items.<br />

Should consumers be on the look out for services instead of products, they can turn <strong>to</strong> price<br />

comparison websites. A relatively recent phenomenon, comparison sites are available for<br />

everything from holidays <strong>to</strong> car insurance, and these sites eliminate the need for trawling<br />

through thousands of individual sites in order <strong>to</strong> find the best price for a service.<br />

With a little research. finding bargains online can be relatively easy and painless.
