The reason is that the more you earn, the higher your taxes become. So, by earning $50, you put progressively less than that in your pocket (for most). You end up putting $50 minus any taxes into your bank account. But, if you were to save $50, you are saving a full $50. That $50 also came from a lower tax bracket so you were taxed less when you earned it. This goes to show that if you want earn more, one of the first ways to start is by trying to save more. There has always been enormous opportunity for saving, but considering the current economic conditions, now would be a great time to start exploring more ways of cutting corners in your expenses.

Many of you may already be aware of this concept, it has been explored in various books and talked about casually. For those of you who already knew, let this be a reminder to save more to earn more. For those of you who weren’t aware, if you would like more information, be sure to check out Andrew Tobias’ The Only Investment Guide You’ll Ever Need.

One way Overstock captures its products is from manufacturers who make too many of an item and then they are purchased at a liquidation price, which is even below how much they cost wholesale. Overstock also focuses on products that were ordered by other stores, but then for one reason or another that store cancelled its order with the manufacturer. As well, Overstock focuses on capturing products from stores that go out of business or downsize and then must sell their inventory. All of this means one thing - that Overstock is able to offer significantly cheaper prices than you’ll find in other stores. And, their prices become even cheaper when you factor in an easy-to-find Overstock coupon.

While you will find very significant savings, you may not find as many discounts for newer products. Since Overstock waits to purchase these items at a discount, it may take time. As well, you will not find as broad of a selection as you might find at other stores. But even if you are not able to find the model you are looking for, Overstock does carry many alternatives from all the top, high-quality brands. You may also be interested in Overstock’s Deal of the Day, and their Auctions. Don’t forget, before you press that buy button, make sure to look at our Overstock coupons page and use one of their highly valuable coupons to take even more off your order instantly.

In the US, price haggling is not as common, many take the set price on that sticker to be the only price you can pay. But, more people are finding out they really can bargain for a better price than what’s on the sticker, not only in smaller stores, but frequently in larger ones as well.  MarketWatch released an article today listing 5 ways you can get a lower price than what that sticker might say. Bargaining for a better price might not always be possible, but there are certain things to watch out for or time right to make it more likely that your negotiating efforts will pay off.

Number 1 according to MarketWatch is to time your bargain hunting for the end of the month. Their reasoning is that salespeople are trying to meet their monthly quota and will be more likely to do what they can to make sure you walk out the door with as much as possible.  You can also ask about upcoming sales. How often has it happened to you that you purchase some new outfit only to see it on sale days later? You can also find out how long the item has been on the floor - the longer it has been there, the more likely salespersons will bargain.  A fourth tip is to point out flaws in merchandise because frequently you’ll receive a discount for such imperfections.  Most of all, according to MarketWatch, is to be polite and don’t make your haggling efforts public to other customers because sales clerks don’t want to make the same discount available to everyone.

So, the next time you are out shopping, just trying to bargain and see what you can come up with.  Personally, I’ve had positive experiences with bargaining for clothing and furniture.  But, there are likely many more products that can be bargained for.  It doesn’t hurt either to brush up on your haggling skills for the next time you are in an overseas flea-market. Until next time…stay savvy, shoppers.
