Shopping Smart - The Online Hunt for Scrapbooking Supplies
June is finally here! Where did the past months go? Now that it is beginning to get hot outside (for most of us), I have spent a lot of time outdoors. Not only that, but I have spent a lot of time out shopping. And you know what I have discovered, no matter where I go in town, I can usually get a better deal online - not to mention, saving money on gas! I just recently ordered a new custom sofa online and saved hundreds of dollars (even with shipping costs). And I have finally gotten my stuff moved into my new scrapbooking office and wanted to get some new vertical storage.

If you want to be a great online shopper for scrapbooking supplies, here are a few tips to keeping you happy:
1.) Check out ScrapbookFinds.com first (of course I had to put that plug in) because our store searches dozens of top scrapbooking stores and you can see where you will save the most.

Check out our monthly coupons to see if the store you are buying from has one of those deals.
4.) Use coupons! Just as I said above, you can save money when you shop online with a simple code.
5.) If

6.) Always read the item s description. This is important to make sure you are getting what you think you are getting (sometimes the picture shows more than what you will receive).

8.) Only enter your credit card/debit card information on a secured page (it should say it is secured).
9.) Always print off or save the receipt on your computer. Just because they say they will send you an email confirmation doesn t mean it will always happen.
10.) Have fun! It can be fun to browse new products from the comfort of your own home (even in your PJ s if you like).
