In our previous post we told you to make a list of all the people you have to buy gifts for then to write next to their names the gifts you were going to buy them, simple huh! Now the time consuming bit is finding out where to buy these items from and the cheapest place to get them. If you were doing this on the highstreet you would have to visit all the stores check prices then go back to the one with the cheapest price, but the beauty of the web is you can search dozens of stores with a few keystrokes. So first we need to find who is selling the items:
- Open up a price comparison site (we reccomend price runner & this one) and search for the item you wish to buy, so lets use pricegrabber.co.uk and search for a “elmo live“, this spits back a fair few results but you can clearly see the prices, simply choose the cheapest one, in this case it’s amazon.co.uk and we are saving £5…. not bad for 1 gift.
- Now you have the cheapest price and your about to buy but you see in the checkout page something asking for a promo code, voucher code or some sort of money off code, well here is another oppurtunity to save money. Simply visit your favourite discount code site (here & here), and type in the name of the retailer in this case it will be amazon, locate the discount code and put it into the area in the checkout. Even more money saved
- Now you have ordered this gift you can move onto the next one in your list. Next is wrapping those presents!
