Welcome to Rather-Be-Shopping.com.
My name is Kyle James and I have over 23 years experience as a consumer expert and have been featured on FOX News, The Today Show, Woman’s World, Reader’s Digest, and The New York Times to name a few.
I am a father to 3 children (22, 20, and 17 years old), and with my wife’s help, we keep this website updated with the best shopping hacks and frugal living tips that we can find to all your favorite stores so you can save money.
This site was started in December 2000, and after a HUGE learning curve, we have the website that you see today.
Over the years the site has grown to include much more than just ways to save while shopping.
For example, we breakdown a bunch of fun secret menus at your favorite restaurants. After all, ordering off the “regular menu” gets kinda boring so it’s time to spice up your next meal at places like McDonald’s, Chipotle, Starbucks, In-N-Out Burger, and Dutch Bros Coffee.
We even talk about cool discounts that retailers and big-box stores offer Students, Employees, and even Military members.
Lastly, don’t forget about our Return Policy section of the site that breaks down the return policy at over 70 stores including Costco, Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
Not only do we tell you exactly how their policy works, but we give you some insider tips and hacks to make your next return a breeze and even save you time and money.
I’d love to hear from you with any feedback as to how we can better serve you.
Also, let me know your money saving success stories involving any of the articles or savings hacks that you may have stumbled across on my website.
I really love to hear from my visitors and your emails often make my day.
Happy Shopping and Happy Saving!
