I am absolutely convinced that my wife is now the one keeping the spending in line at home. Although I claim to know how to manage cash, I am a gadget freak and unsupervised, I would spend a ton.
For those of you that don't have a spouse closely monitoring your spending, you can at least become a little smarter when gadget shopping. A site named The Free Geek lays out some nice ways to help get the best deal.
At his site he fully explains the "why" and "how" on each of these:
- Avoid new gadgets
- Buy with friends, compare online
- Go into (very small) business and buy in bulk
- Use your credit card habits as a guideline
- Take advantage of annual sales
- Stay on top of geek lists, social book marking sites, etc. for sales news
- Conduct research for the best products
- Put off that craving
