Money Saving Tip - Online Shopping
Shipping costs can add up quickly when you’re making an online purchase. Here are a couple of tips to help keep your costs down.
1. Shop with a friend! If shipping costs are lower, or free, if you purchase over a certain amount, put in orders with a friend or family member to save on shipping costs.
2. Watch for shipping promotions. Lots of sites have limited time offers or coupon codes for free shipping. Check out Free Shipping Canada for a great round-up of free shipping (or free with a certain amount spent) sites.
