If you're like the rest of us at the moment, money is a bit tight and there's not a whole lot left in the budget for luxury items and non-necessities.
His birthday is fast approaching and you need to find him a gift that will keep you within your budget.
Where do you turn?
Obviously your starting point is probably going to be the Internet. But there are so many websites online, how are you meant to figure out which of them is going to offer you the best price?
Welcome to the world of comparison shopping.
The last couple of years have seent the emergence of many websites that help you hunt down the cheapest deals online.
These websites collect information from hundreds, even thousands of retailer's websites and offer a comparison on price for each product.
So if you're looking for an ipod nano, you simply type 'ipod nano' in to one of these shopping search engines and it will give you a list of retailers selling that item and at what price.
Using The Price Comparison Websites
Your best bet is probably to run the same search with a few of these websites - that way you cover as many online retailers as possible, giving yourself the best possible chance of finding him an inexpensive birthday gift.
To find a few of these sites, visit Google.com and type 'price comparison websites' into the search bar - the results will vary depending on which country you live in.
Local Markets - A Goldmine For Unique, Inexpensive Gifts
If he's the sort of guy who appreciates something a little unique, there is no shortage of this quality at many markets being run every weekend.
The great thing about these markets is that the products tend to be less expensive, because the retailer has low overheads, and they are normally just starting out, so they need as many sales as they can get.
You can take advantage of this and find some great handmade gifts at low prices.
Call In Some Favours
If you know someone who owns a business that offers something that you know he'd enjoy, hit them up for a discount or try and barter with them and give them something in return.
This is a great way to give him something of value wthout having to pay for it all up front
There are many other ways you can find an inexpensive birthday gift for him, but hopefully these will get you started and give you some great ideas you can use.
