I don't know about cheap places. When I buy online I type in the item I want to buy in Google, then compare the advertisers of the product.


|||The main problem is most of America has been living the high life on credit...now that credit is drying up many if not most have stopped buying...no buying means no new money circulating through economy...and many are now defaulting on what they owe ( mortgages etc) ...In turn since economy is not looking good businesses are cutting back...consumers cut back more as they fear for their financial security...which in turn exacerbates the cycle...One major cause was the easy credit and push for a cashless society.





Live within your means and use credit sparingly if at all is only tipI can offer...Good luck to you and your family.
