Frugality Tip
Did you know that if you put something in your online cart at Amazon (and some other online stores), when the price changes they notify you via email. So if you are looking to buy something but it is a little out of your budget, throw it in the cart and you just might be notified when it goes on sale.
Also, when looking around on eBay, go ahead and click that heart, a lot of sellers will send you a discounted offer just for liking an item.
So have a little patience and wait and see if you can save a few dollars on your next online purchase.
Happy savings y'all
