Want to save money and make money at the same time? Who doesn't?
That's true. We do that in this morning's Thrifty Thursday report. Here's Alan Akina.
Good morning, gang. I have a question for all of you that shop on eBay. Did you really win that item on eBay, or were you just the highest bidder? You see, there's a difference, a big difference. Now, I hear this from a lot of people that I know that say eBay can be addicting. What I want you to realize is that when we make purchases on eBay, All we really did was pay a price that none of the other bidders were willing to pay. Now don't get me wrong, eBay can be a fantastic tool to find great deals on things that we need. What we should be focused on is finding the best deal. It's not about winning in this case, folks. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. See you on Monday.
