CCS Tek - Show notes (12/1/14) - w/ YoungFreeRoyal

Saving money on Tech Gifts - Collaboration with Shadoe from Young Free Royal


1 - Buy Online. Amazon/Newegg often have better prices, and sometimes even free shipping. Brick and mortar are only for getting hands on or if you need it RIGHT NOW

2 - buy last years model. Your purchase doesn't have to be brand new. Unless you REALLY need that new feature for work or something important, last years model will probably suffice. And most likely, it is at least a couple hundred dollars cheaper. And sometimes retailers or manufactures will bundle in extra accessories just to sell it so thats even more value for your dollar


3 - Trade in your old Tech. If you aren't using your old technology, you should trade it in at your favorite electronics store. Most stores offer a gift card towards buying something new, or at the very least, you know you are doing good by keeping those things out of the dump and either into the hands of someone who needs it, or being recycled properly.


4 - Sign up for store rewards. If you are already buying something from the store, why not get rewarded from shopping there? Most stores, either brick-and-mortar and online, having some sort of rewards program. For example, BestBuy and Target have cards that give you points for spending money for money off of your next purchase. So instead of blowing it off, look into it, so you can get rewarded for buying stuff you are already going to be getting.
