Get The Ultimate Bargains On Everyday Items

We are always looking at ways to save a few bucks. When it comes to ultimate bargains, research reveals they're hiding in the most unexpected places.

Stephanie Prommer, lifestyle editor at Woman's World Magazine shares where we can really find the best deals on electronics, prescriptions and more.

Milk and Dairy
Best Bet: Your Gas Station
According to Prommer, many local gas stations sell milk and other dairy products even cheaper-sometimes at half the cost-than grocery stores, according to price surveys.
The reason: They draw you in to buy milk in hopes you will also fill up on gas or purchase more expensive items.


Prescriptions
Best Bet: Costco
According to Prommer, Costco charged less than half of what the next two cheapest pharmacies, Walmart and Target, charged for the same drug.
Tip: If you are not a member of Costco, just tell the greeter that you are heading to the pharmacy when they ask for your membership card. You don't have to be a member to use the pharmacy.

Photos
Best Bet: Walmart
You don't need to go online or go to a fancy camera store to get good quality prints.
A recent consumer study found all photo developers products similar quality photos regardless of the price, according to Women's World Magazine!
Walmart is the cheapest and fastest of them all.

Flowers
Best Bet: A Florist In Her Town
It always seems to be easier to turn to a national online site, but you may be surprised to learn you could save some serious bucks by using a florist in your own neighborhood.
That is what national companies do, expect then they turn around and charge you a processing fee for the trouble. To find a great place go to LocateAFlowerShop.com

Electronics
Best Bet: Amazon.com
According to Prommer, Amazon.com , BuyDig.com and BHPhotoVideo.com are all winners when ti comes to getting a great deal on electronics.
If you use Amazon, they even offer free shipping on items over $25. So, you don't have to lift heavy boxes or pay store delivery fees. Talk about a great deal!
