It’s important to me to show my customers ways to save money. How does this relate to personal computers? Well, in all sorts of ways. There’s two main areas where PCs can save you money.

Firstly, purchasing the right PC itself can save you a lot of money. How? Well, don’t buy a Ferari when a Honda will do. Many people have fantastic systems simply because they were ‘advised’ by a shop assistant that those systems were what they needed. The systems are state of the art, contain a multitude of functions that’ll probably never be used and typically cost over £1000. System’s are so powerful these days that the average PC user rarely needs to spend over £500 for a decent system that’ll more than adequately meet their needs.

Another way your computer can save you money is by using internet price comparison engines and visiting well-known sites to find the best prices for products. Accessing these sites can find you cheaper holidays, hotel reservations, utility bills, books and even computers! Here are just a few sites that can save you money:

www.addall.com - books and music.
www.lastminute.com - holidays, theatre & concert tickets, restaurants.
www.uswitch.com - utility bills, broadband, telephone and credit cards.
www.amazon.co.uk - books, music and electronics.
www.ebay.co.uk - online auction.
www.moneysavingexpert.com - more money-saving tips!

Drop me line if you know of any other sites that may be of interest. In another post, I’ll explain how broadband can be cheaper than dialup.
