·         Buy Used From Local Companies – Many music and movie stores will sell used products at a discounted price. Movie stores generally purchase a lot of copies for the release of a movie, but as the hype subsides, they will cut back to just a few copies and sell the others at a great rate. Used music stores will usually have an exchange program. You can trade in used CDs for credit to buy others. By doing this, they can offer great rates on used CDs.

·         Patience Is A Virtue – Most stores, whether they are new or used, will mark down prices once a movie or album has been on the market for a while. If you can be patient a few weeks, you can usually see a significant savings off of the original new release price.

Coupons Offer Savings – You can also look in your local newspaper or online and find coupons for your next movie or music purchase. Searching online is a great way to find coupons quickly and print them out. Many companies now have complete sites that offer nothing but coupons. You can usually find a great deal; just make sure you check expiration dates.
