Save money on your everyday shopping

Author: casper021 | Filed under: Online Auctions

Have you ever noticed how there are always big sales right before the holiday season with some shops offering up to 80% discounts? Well you probably have and you also probably quite happy to take advantage of those discounts and buy something for let’s say $200 which on any other day would cost you $1000 and after making that purchase you probably will be quite happy thinking that you saved yourself $800. Well let me tell you something I used to work in retail a while ago and I was shocked at the margins on some products and also retail shops never sell anything at a loss they always make money on each sale. Getting back to the margins let’s look at a simple t-shirt example let’s say on average half decent t-shirt will cost about $50 in a shop during the holiday sales the shop will probably offer it at 50% discount so people would look at it and see a good saving of $25 and be quite happy with this savings well now the shocking truth that the shop probably paid about $2.50 for that t-shit and still even after a %50 discount the shop will still make allot of money. Did you know that you could actually buy directly from the same supplier and it will cost you about $5 per t-shit plus few bucks for deliver so now you can actually not only save more on a product but you will save on petrol as well as you do not have to drive to the shop. Also when you buy direct from suppliers you do not have to wait for specials or holidays or anything else you get the same low price every day of the year.  Here are some examples of products and prices I posted earlier :

Now you probably thinking well that’s all good but how do I find those suppliers and how do I contact them? Well there is quite a simple answer to this question there is this website, which offers you an access to over 6000 verified suppliers and wholesalers the admins of the website constantly review and verify all the suppliers they also offer you a support forums and are happy to help you find any product you need. I have joined the website about three years ago and since virtually have not bought anything from the local shops except for groceries and in some cases when I just could not wait for the shipping otherwise all my purchases were made online from the wholesale suppliers. Looking back I probably saved myself over 50000 over the past three years by buying online as everything I have including tvs and all electronics were purchased online.
