Shopping Tidbits from the MPM Shopping Alerts --- Day 41

Day 41

Shopping Testimonial

I needed to buy copy paper for our traditional pest control business in Ohio. I hate going to the store alone to buy this as I purchase by the case and it is heavy to get in and out. So I decided to try my mall.

I found Office Depot which we no longer have in our area. I ordered several things I needed (great price on a new ink cartridge) and found I was eligible for FREE delivery since I spent more than $50.00.

Then I Googled for coupons and found one for $20.00 off my purchase. (Please re-read this creative way to save even more on your purchases through your mall --- Note: please also re-read the magnifying glass icon information under the store you want to purchase from to ensure they will count both your MPM shopping rebate and the added use of a coupon. Some stores do; some don't. It's up to you to read the fine print for each store.) I was allowed to use that also and as long as my purchase was still at least $50.00, the FREE shipping still applied. My supplies arrived Monday morning.

I am very happy!!! Thanks so much for all the great finds every one makes.

My wife, Nancy, just received Earth Shoes from ShoeBuy.com on her Mall yesterday. She ordered tennis shoes and sandals. These special shoes have "negative heel" technology for folks like her who have severe pain in the front part of their feet and toes. These shoes transfer the weight of each step to the heel, taking the pressure off themost painful part of the foot. She is ecstatic over how great her feet feel. She can nowgo walking in comfort. Free Shipping and free returns, too.

I just received two cordless phone batteries from ebatts .com, too. They are so much cheaper than you can get anywhere else. They have superb customer service and free shipping, plus a 10% discount code you can use. By the way, the batteries I received were configured a little differently than the originals, but they work perfectly. I can just bet that by how this company does business, they'll last a lot longer than the old ones. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee.

These are just a few of the many things we've bought through My Power Mall. It's just amazing how many great stores and great deals we have on our Malls.

From a BootCamper:
I really did buy TP today ONLINE! It was pretty cool because as those of you with kids will attest to, the grocery store can become a nightmare when shopping with the kiddos! I got the shopping alert today and there were comparisons for several of the stores on the mall. I used to live in Michigan, so when I saw that Meijer was on there and their rebate is higher than Wal-Mart, I couldn't say no!

Yesterday my wife's outdoor pond pump quit for good. We discussed whether we could find it in her Power Mall or not. She thought we could, but I was a tad more skeptical. I said, "What the heck, it couldn't hurt to try." Well, in two seconds, our Mall search took us to our favorite offline pet store: Petsmart. And wouldn't you know it: same pump, great price, FREE SHIPPING! We are learning real quick that you can find darn-near ANYTHING in your Mall and it even makes you money! It truly doesn't get any better.

I was shopping on a new site for a router for a computer client and found a good deal on a site called JustDeals.com. Not only did I find a really good deal on the router I was looking for (about 1/3 the store price), but I also found that this site does a flat shipping rate of $1.95!

I'm so delighted with MPM in so many ways but I had a real eye opener last week. I ordered from a MPM vendor, a funeral spray for a memorial services I was attending.

When I arrived at the service, I noticed one particular arrangement stood out from the others. I went forward and was surprised to learn that magnificent piece was from me. I had paid only $89. When I returned home, I priced similar arrangements at a local florist and they were $119 and up. In addition to the generous rebate, I received real value for my dollar. Everything I have ordered from a MPM vendor has been first class and shipped promptly.

Shopping Tip

Keep a shopping list at your computer (or wherever you are) to check or write down what you need as things start to get low (but before you need them). Then once or twice a week, get on your Mall and make your purchases. While you're doing that, you can know that as long as you have an American Express Gift Card you can also make money every time you go shopping locally!

Shopping Tip

Never sign up for auto-ship programs. Your original purchase will be tracked, but subsequent purchases will be lost to you because they will have been generated by the store, not by you in your mall. Just put a reminder in your computer's calendar (or your SHOPPING LIST in your back office) to remind you when to order each month.

"But," you might ask, "How do I shop and earn rebates on my purchases?"
