Saving Wins and Bins
I am not so good at saving. That is the whole truth. Finding the cash to buy expensive items for the home has been a struggle for me.
When I found DealDash.com a few years ago, I realized with the bidding, winning or buy-it-now options I might be able to get ahead on saving towards large ticket items I have not been able to save for before. I have been bidding on Home Depot gift cards quite often and find the time of day has a lot to do with the competition and your saving ability. In the morning hours when others have gone to work, I have set my bid buddy, won and saved a great deal on Home Depot gift cards. I even won two in a row on two different days!
When I set my bid buddy on day three, I was not as lucky, but I did use the Buy-it-Now option and paid $25 to get all my bids back – plus I received free shipping!

Now we all know $25 does not buy you a lot when you are a home owner, but, I started saving the gift cards I was winning on DealDash. The last Home Depot card I won cost 65 cents! How did that happen? I can’t answer that, but I do use my bid buddy on almost all auctions I would like to win. And, it works. I know because I just bought a new hot water heater at Home Depot by saving the gift cards I won our purchased on DealDash using the Buy it Now option. How happy I was to hand them my gift cards and pay for it! Thanks, DealDash. Your auction site is the best!
