SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―
In this day and age, cash is king. But what if you want to shop online? Don't worry, we have found a website that lets you use cash for online purchases.
So here it is shopdebtfree.com. It's your one stop spot for shopping without a credit card. But how does it work you ask?
Simple, all you need to do is just shop in the debt free mall. In this cyber-mall you will find a little bit of everything. All of course from retailers that will take your cash for their items as long as you use e-bill-me to complete the transaction. It's like paying your electric bill or phone bill online from home.
Now the website also has a debt free blog section, complete with tips, hints and advice for shopping without using credit. They even have a giveaway section where you might end up with some very cool prizes. And best of all, it's free! Again keeping with the old motto, cash is king.
So let's take the faucet we purchased at $306.90 and use the credit card. Making the minimum payment would take you three years and five months to pay it off. And cost you $107 in interest. Using shopdebtfree.com you would have saved $107 in interest alone.
