June 2000 - James Copeland

This is not an actual photo of James
Copeland, our Shopper of the Month for
June 2000. This is only an artist's
rendition. An actual picture will
appear as soon as photographically
possible.

To protect the privacy of our shoppers (and to help
some of our shoppers keep secret from their spouses
the thousands of dollars they spend each month), we
will not provide spending details about any of our
Shoppers of the Month. We will however, pick one
purchase in particular to demonstrate the savings
available online.

James Copeland - This month's Shopper of the Month
recently purchased a softball bat from one of our
shopping affiliates, Fogdog Sports, for approximately
$180.00. The identical bat sells at Oshman's, a local
sporting goods retailer, for $240.00. In addition,
anyone who buys this bat at Oshman's would have
paid an additional $20 for local sales tax. Mr.
Copeland saved approximately $80.00 by buying his
softball bat online, vs. retail. Important note: Mr.
Copeland could have saved an additional $35.00 by
using one of the 20% off coupons listed on our Coupon
page, meaning he could have purchased the bat for
$145.00, a potential savings of $115.00 off the retail
price. (Always be sure to check our coupons page
before you buy, to see if there are any additional
savings to be had.) Houston Critics thanks Mr.
Copeland for his patronage and for single-handedly
putting our children through college.
