About this listen
Unlock the keys to save money shopping offline.
The age of the Internet has allowed people to connect with each other like never before. It's opened up an entire world of music, thoughts, cat videos and, of course, shopping.
Online shopping has experienced a boom in recent years for good reason. There are many perks to shopping online: great deals, access to rare or specialty items, the ability to shop from your couch in your pajamas, and instantaneous access to reviews.
However, anyone who has shopped online knows that it has its pitfalls: sizing clothing and shoes can be difficult, the colors may look different online, and quality is hard to judge. Most of all, grocery shopping and perishable items can usually only be purchased in person.
That's why offline shopping has never disappeared, or ever will.
You can judge the quality and worth more easily when you can touch and feel an item. You can try things on before you buy them and skip the hassle of returns. You can also turn it into a social activity by inviting a friend to shop with you. New products that you may have never thought about may catch your eye.
Unfortunately, all of this may cause you to become overwhelmed plus without the proper techniques may be expensive.
In Offline Shopping Hacks, discover how to:
- Use the Internet to optimize offline shopping
- Use coupons found online for offline products
- Utilize coupon aggregators for secret savings
- Map out a store for optimal shopping
- Create a shopping pyramid to stick to a budget
- Use an everyday office supply to stay on budget
- Recruit shopping squad for major store events
- Buy in bulk without breaking the bank
- Predict the future to capitalize on sales
- Find luxury items for low prices
- And more for you to unlock!
Get the best of both shopping worlds!

It is said a dollar saved is a dollar earned. The reality is, a dollar saved is much more than a dollar earned! Taking into account everything involved to earn a dollar, like the cost of gas, time to commute, as well as income taxes, a dollar saved is more like two dollars earned.

Story
When she was suddenly given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, journalist and archetypal Londoner Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: the happiest place on earth isn't Disneyland but Denmark, a land often thought of by foreigners as consisting entirely of long, dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries.

Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.
