Summary:

In the article I read, there are three methods that you can use to get good deals. There are three analogies given to explain how to get discounts. One is airline. They can use the internet to purchase airline tickets instead of getting them at the airline conter. They are able to source for their desired route themselves. They can also get tickets at a half price from dozen cities to Mexico. The other one is appliance. They can use their broken appliances to get a discount when making a purchase. The recycle price is from 50 to 1000 dollars. They can use this discount to replace their appliances, that consumes too much power or is too old. The other is golf. A lot of golf companies try to attract new members by waiving extra charges to use their extra facilities. They can use some discounts that the company does not show on their advertisements, if people want to join as a member.

Reaction:

We are able to use a lot of discounts when we want to buy something we want, but we need to spend time to find discounts or promotions on internet. Sometimes, we can find something online. According the article, we can use our old furniture or appliances to get discounts. Most government advocates use old appliances to change new appliances because some old appliances consume power too much. Therefore, the government encourages people to change new appliances because the new appliances are more power saving than old appliances. Hence, if you want to buy something you find interesting, you have to find some discount or ask your friends. Your friends might be able to give you some good advice and you will be able to spend less money to get the best product you desire.
