Discount Places to Shop

As Christmas day draws closer many of you will be making your own presents or doing good deeds for loved ones that cost nothing but your time. If this is the case, good for you! You should be proud that you are taking charge of your finances, beating some of the Christmas retail madness and gaining control over your spending.
However there are times when you cannot make something yourself, it can’t be bartered for, and you can’t get it second hand. In this case if you want to get it, you are forced to buy it new. Consequently there is no better place to look than to the specialty discount stores.
The following is a list of some of the better specialty discount stores in North America. Most of them will ship to Canada, USA and US military addresses. Make sure you comparison
shop between stores and compare prices in other general merchandise locations like eBay (www.ebay.com) and Amazon (www.amazon.com) .
