There are lot of special dates that you should be keeping an eye on and take advantage of the sales in malls and these are the Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the list goes on. The prices of items may carry up to 50% discount during these special dates.

Beside discounts (5%, 10%, 15%, etc) when purchasing with cash basis, some stores provide free items like mp3s, flash drives and computer accessories.
If you made a purchase using your credit card on the other hand, some establishment s will offer you with free food in restaurants, diners or fastfood chains and/or free services in spas and salons and discounts.
Compute and compare prior to making any purchases to check if you are really getting some favors in the end.

Buying unbranded items vs. surplus items
Unbranded items like household appliances, commercial appliances, coffee maker, bakery ovens and among others are common and widespread, and what make these attractive into the eyes of the buyers are their affordable prices they carry. You can save further in buying unbranded items by utilizing your persuasive haggling skills.
Keep in mind that cheap unbranded items may deliver sub-par performance and are expected not to last for a long time especially when they are in frequent use.
Surplus items like their unbranded counterparts are also offered at affordable prices. When buying surplus items it is of essence that you inspect the items well, try them and if possible bring along with you someone who is familiar or expert with appliances.
