A WHOLE LOTTA SAVINGS

HOW TO BE A SAVVY ONLINE SHOPPER

Shopping can be tough on the nerves, taxing on the body, and toxic on relationships, not to talk about chaotic. Picture a typical day running from store to store, weighed down with heavy shopping bags that constrict your muscles and practically drag you to the floor, rummaging through piles of junk that other customers left behind, trying to keep the kids under control, and soothe the frazzled nerves of the spouse, whose patience is quickly unraveling. But first you have to get there, which means you have to fight heavy traffic. while dodging crazy drivers. At the store you wade through racks and racks of selections, looking for the right size, the right fit, and then....sigh, they just ran out of your size. Finally..... you shuffle through a long line that snakes around the store and thank goodness, it's almost your turn at the cash register, but wait, the snooty cashier slams down a wooden block on the register and snaps, "SORRY, THIS LINE IS CLOSED." What's a girl or a guy for that matter to do? Shop online of course! Every savvy shopper know that the best place to get deals everday is online. I often enjoy shopping online for the ease, the convenience and of course, the big savings. If they happen to run out of your specific merchandise, at the click of the mouse, they will update you when your merchandise becomes available, all from the convenience of your home. Shopping online is much faster, and convenient. It is also safer and more secure than you think. Most online shopping carts are encrypted so that no one can view your credit card information. Some department store employees have been caught stealing data from the register receipts and subsequently stealing their customers' identity. With online shopping, your data is safe as long as the checkout area is encrypted. You can recognize the encryption by the sign of a padlock that appears when you are checking out. This means that the information that you give cannot be viewed or shared by another party. You can also take the measure of deleting cookies once you complete your transaction so that if another person happens to use your computer, they cannot stumble upon your data. Here's how to delete cookies.
