"Home Shopping Networks
A great way to save both time and money is by completing some of your
holiday shopping from the comfort of your home with the help of the home
shopping networks. In fact shopping via QVC or the Home Shopping Network
(HSN.com) can be done at any hour of the day. Shipping costs are also
very reasonable. From purses for your mother to NFL merchandise for the
football lover on your list, there are many gift options to tickle the
fancy of your love ones and friends. Another great feature of these home
shopping networks is that you can shop by watching television or by
visiting their online websites. If you decide to watch the broadcast any
deals that you see will be available through midnight of the same day.
Finally, on select merchandise, they offer easy pay plans where the
total purchase price is spread over as little as two up to a maximum of
six installments. The installments would automatically be charged to
your credit card each month until the balance is paid in full."
Not exactly frugal, although the implication is that there are no
additional charges for spreading the payments out (as opposed to just
charging the whole amount and then paying interest).
