I have enjoyed online shopping ever since it became available. My Amazon account dates back to 2001, when they were just an online bookstore. I like the convenience of doing a quick search, price comparisons, browsing dozens of images, reading different customer reviews – and then buying something that will be delivered to my home within a few days, or even the same day in some cases.
With the limitations that the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed on traditional shopping, I’ve been doing even more online. I rarely set foot in a store – other than maybe a grocery store – anymore.
While Amazon is still my go-to website for starters, I’ve ended up buying things online elsewhere lately. I am a very picky shopper. Stuff that I’d buy is durable, not made in China if at all possible, high-quality – and consequently high-priced for the most part.
Amazon used to appear as the “best-price” leader in the past, but for my very specific search criteria I found, that they don’t always offer the best deals – or maybe just not in Germany.
On this WAKÜ ladder I was able to save 8.8% over Amazon’s price at accipo. My new Sedus Black dot BD-102 office chair costs a lovely 13.9% less when ordered from BLA.
So, when you find something that you like on Amazon, simply plug the product’s name into a Google search – and find the best price available. This technique works especially well with higher priced items.
Happy shopping!
Who said that an old woman can’t loose weight? Yes, it is harder than it used to be when I was younger, but it still works the same way it did 30 years ago: you have to watch what you eat, when you eat, and what you do while you’re not eating.
