How to Save Money on Apple Products

How to save money on Apple products

Apple products tend to sell at similar prices no matter where you shop. Aside from looking at weekly flyers, here are other ways to find deals on your next iPod, MacBook and other Apple products.

1. Begin by finding the regular price at the online Apple store.

2. Visit other sites, such as Amazon.com, BestBuy, and Staples, to compare if they offer better prices.

3. If you are a college student, parent buying for a college student, faculty member, teacher, homeschool teacher, educational administrator or staff, visit the online Apple education store to see if you qualify for education pricing.

4. If you work for the government, visit the online Apple store for government agencies and employees (including military personnel).

5. If you work in a major corporation, your employer may offer an employee purchase program (EPP) with Apple. The EPP offers reduced prices on some Apple products. Contact your human resources department for details.

6. If you not part of the any aforementioned groups, you may have to consider whether getting a refurbished Apple products will suit you. I recently bought a refurbished iPod Touch from Apple.ca, and when it arrived, the device looked as if it were new. I could not tell that it was refurbished.

7. When you are ready to shop, be sure to visit eBates or other cash back sites first to get rebates for your purchase.
