Frugal Shopping: Ali-Express July 17,2024

Tweet

I'm sure many of you are familiar with all the "deal" apps and websites that have become super popular in the last few years. Wish was one of the first that did it, and while Wish isn't as popular as it once was- it is (at least last time I checked) still around. Ali-Express is one of the newer ones (although it's been around a few years now too) and I got an email earlier that said pick any 3 items for $0.99. So I went with it. I've been playing my little games and side hustle survey apps to earn some PayPal and gift cards lol, and decided to take advantage of the deal. It ended up being a little bit more than $0.99 but not by much. I got three items- with free shipping for a whopping total of $1.76. So still pretty great. I know technology from a website like this isn't going to be the best. I have a wireless mouse I use sometimes from them that I paid 0.33 for last year, and it works just as good as the five dollar one that I had from Five Below. I got a five pack of "w33d" socks for Chris, I got a clip on microphone to use with my cooking and side hustle videos, and a Galaxy projector for she child. The Galaxy Projector is normally priced $8.92 and I paid $0.64 The "weed" socks are normally priced $5.16 and I paid $0.52 The clip on microphone is normally priced $7.70 and I paid $0.60. At full price I would of paid $21.78 and with the savings etc that Ali-Express allowed me my total was as mentioned above $1.76. Which means I saved $20.02. Which is a pretty great deal! I have gotten socks from them before, and they are pretty good quality, about what you'd get from the Dollar Store. The last couple days I have been doing a bunch of frugal shopping! So I have several deals and scores and posts and stuff. There's probably two things that @moffittjc will tell you about me, I buy DVDs like a crazy person, and I love a good deal. Go ahead, ask him. Anyhow, that's the good deals I scored on Ali Express this morning. I'll let y'all know if the things that I get live up to the cost, which as long as they all work once- I'm pretty sure they will. Have you ever ordered anything from Ali Express? Did it end up being a good deal? Or was it a dud?
