Amazon.com

OK, I know the title doesn't give you much but hear me out.  Just picture something you really like, object wise...get the picture in your head.  Say you want to buy that object, but you go to Wal-Mart, Target or whatever store you like and find the price is way too high.  Instead of waiting months or years for that object to go on sale you can just go to amazon.com and purchase the item for very low prices. 

Case-in-point, I had been looking at the TV show for a while, at the stores a year or so it was $30-$40 for the 5 disc series.  I went on amazon.com recently and purchased the whole thing, brand new for $10.30.  That included the $2.98 shipping and handling costs.  For a college student saving $20-$30 is like a few hundred dollars.

If DVD's are not your thing, I bought a video game for 1 cent once, granted it was $3.99 shipping and handling so the total was $4, but for a brand new game that is a helluva deal. 

Finally, if you're not into video games or DVD's you can buy many other things to keep you happy in life.  I bought a jersey a week ago for $14.95 with $4.99 shipping and handling.  I got it in the mail 2 days later.  I looked at the tag on it, it was being sold at $44.99 before.  That isn't including any tax on the jersey.

My point is if you want fast and quick service at very low prices, you can't beat the deals at amazon.com.  I have purchased over 100 things in my life off of amazon and I get my Christmas gifts off there because the more money I save the more money I have to spend on something else I like.
