My First Online Shopping Experience

I remember back in the fall of 1999 was the first time I had went and really shopped online, I was so amazed that I was finding the discount shopping coupons listed and thought wow! that has to be too good to be true!
My first ever purchase using an online coupon was for a new carseat for my Son, now getting ready to be 8 years old this Sunday, I had shopped around for an evenflo infant carseat/carrier and loved the little tiny toons design, so I started looking online. and the baby store had it for $50 and I remember finding a $25 off any $50 or more purchase and thought there was no way but why not try it,

I went ahead and sprang for the purchase entered my code and thought there would have to be a catch, wondering if they would call and cancel my order or let me know I couldn't use a coupon etc. But to my extreme pleasant surprise, the discount was real, the company was for real and the carseat was delivered with FREE Shipping and No Tax added to my door for a total of $25.00. I had scored the exact Car Seat I wanted and with an AWESOME PRICE! I must say that reeled me in to start searching for other bargain offers online and started the shopping online excitement for me.

There are still great bargains out there at the online stores and when you check frequently there are some great buys! Many stores even have overstock and clearance sections on their websites for bigger savings.

We were fortunate enough at that time when I got started with the online shopping,
to also have many half off drugstore deals and I really stocked up on Diapers and formula and toilet paper and other necessities and always was delivered to my door with Free Shipping and I didn't have to drag my babies out to the store, so I must say we were wowed and amazed at all the money we could save by shopping online!
It made me feel like I was "getting out" without really getting out.

If you are ever wanting to make a bigger purchase you really should search the Dealofday site for coupon offers or free shipping bonus deals to help sweeten your purchase, you might be just as amazed as I was 8 years ago and the thrill of getting such a great bargain will have you hooked at looking for great buys before just running out and making a purchase!

Some of my favorite online stores are Amazon, Tupperware, ToysRus, Buy.com and there are so many more!
