High end stuff that are free with purchase

these are my favorite potential dangers because they are easy to get sucked into. These are things that “Buy a computer, get a free monitor or printer and camera”; spend $60, get a $15 gift card; buy a cell phone at full price get another for free!

All of these sound like great deals at first, but they may cost you more than you think. Before you get sucked into this type of freebie offer, you need to stop and calculate how much you’ll have to spend in order for you to receive your free item.

If you do this you may just find that you could get a computer and monitor someplace else for less than what you’ll have to pay for a computer at the freebie spot.

You should also check to see whether or not the purchase item and the incentive item are things that you truly need and will get a lot of use out of. Too often people allow free with purchase incentives to persuade them to buy items that they would probably never buy otherwise and that is just silly.

The bottom line with this is that a freebie offer shouldn’t cost you money because that completely negates the fact of it being free in the first place. Consider each deal that you are offered carefully before you bother. Otherwise, you will end up with a lot of free stuffthat actually cost you an arm and a leg.
