Pretty drive to North Carolina

February 27th, 2007 at 08:34 pm

It is a beautiful day here today. I drove over to Murphy, N.c. to get the drafting vellum we have been needing. I picked it up last week, but it was just plain paper, no grid. Expensive paper too, $250 for 100 sheets.
I had a coupon for $4 off of prilosec so i bought that today. I will add that to my challenge money.
Prev. total $4186.00
today 4.00
new total $4190.00

    Have you ever looked in to buying the paper on-line? If it was cheaper to buy on-line, you could add not only the paper savings but your mileage to the $20 challenge! Smile

    Well, here's just one site that I was able to find quickly (I typed in "vellum paper grid" in my computer's browser):

    http://www.draftingsteals.com/catalog-paper--vellum--and-more.html

    I never imagined there were so many types of vellum paper! Do they have the type you buy?

    Anyway ... there are 2 ways you can save money by shopping on the computer:

    1. You can actually buy product on-line. [If you do that, make sure you are on a secure site. When you get to the point where you are going to pay for the product on-line with your credit card, make sure that there is a little padlock symbol on the lower-right of your computer screen, and make sure that the web site address at the top of your computer says "https" instead of just "http" ... the S stands for SECURE.]

    2. You can just price check on-line and then use the information you get to negotiate with the people you normally buy from. For example, if you really like the people you buy from in Murphy, you could tell them the price you found on-line and ask them to match that price. I do this with my dog's monthly medication. I shop around on-line for prices, and then my vet will match the best price I find.

    Good luck!
