When it comes to shopping, whether online or offline, there are many ways to cut costs and stretch your budget. The smart shopper does not only keep herself alert with discounts and sales but also with buying in bulk. Most stores encourage shoppers to buy wholesale products and it’s a win-win situation for both parties. For business establishments, purchasing in bulk provides more savings for the company, e.g. wholesale postcards, bond papers, folders and other office supplies.
Most online merchants also offer free shipping for a minimum purchase of items. For instance, I recently ordered my favorite items online and upon learning that the store offers free shipping for orders above PHP2000, I did a bit of computation and bought additional items to meet the required minimum. I’m glad that there are store offers such as these, a way of building sales and relationship with customers.
