What you should know:
- Deal a day sites can actually be bad for your budget. They’re all about buying on impulse. They create a sense of don’t-miss-out urgency that’s hard to resist. Take a few deep breaths before you buy and ask yourself these three questions:
Can actually use the item? If not, it’s not a bargain at all.
Is there a possibility you’ll want to return the item? All sales are final at some sites.
Is it still a deal after you factor in shipping costs?
- Keep in mind that some of the items may be final sale (no returns). Read up on the site’s return/exchange policy before you buy.
- Do a quick price comp to make sure you’re getting the deal you think you are.
- Shipping timelines on some items may be extended.
