So, looking at this… *stuff*, it’s all about finding the lowest possible price, right? Flights, Bitcoin, even *shipping* rates. It’s a bargain hunter’s fever dream! And frankly, I’m kinda into it. I mean, who *doesn’t* love a good deal?
First off, Federal Way’s liquidation store is totally irrelevant. Sorry, Federal Way, but you’re getting cut. (Though, a liquidation store *could* have some ridiculously cheap “by the way” items, if we’re stretching things… maybe discounted air fresheners? Just spitballin’ here.)
Okay, flights. Skiplagged? Hidden-city ticketing? Sounds kinda shady, ngl. But also, intriguing. I mean, if it gets you to your grandma’s house for half the price, who am I to judge? Just, uh, maybe don’t tell the airline. Shhh!
And then there’s the whole “free flights with points” thing. Genius! Except… I never actually *do* it. I always *mean* to, then I get overwhelmed by all the credit card options and end up just paying full price like a chump. Story of my life. Maybe this article is actually a wake-up call? Nah, probably not. I’m too lazy.
Bitcoin? Uh… I’m gonna be real, I have no clue. It’s like digital magic beans that sometimes make you rich and sometimes make you broke. I’ll stick to finding cheap flights, thanks. Less chance of losing my shirt.
Speaking of losing things… that USPS and UPS rate comparison thing is actually kinda useful. I always just blindly pick one and hope for the best. Maybe I should actually, you know, *compare* them for once. Mind. Blown.
So, what’s the takeaway here? I guess the cheapest “By the Way” is… being resourceful? Being willing to dig a little, maybe bend the rules a little (but not, like, *break* the law, okay?), and just generally being a savvy consumer. Also, maybe getting a travel rewards credit card and actually using it.
