13 Savvy Shopping Tricks You’ll Wish You Knew All Along

It’s painful to toss an old item that you once paid a pretty penny for, but such is the life cycle of shopping…or is it? With trade-in programs, you can get something for those previous purchases. Best Buy, for example, lets you exchange old electronics for store gift cards. And at Target, you can trade in your child’s old car seat for a 20 percent off coupon to be used toward a new car seat at select times of the year (including two weeks in April as part of Earth Month).
