Avoiding the Most Common Online Shopping Mistakes

Even before the coronavirus kept us from hitting the stores, online shopping long ago became a part of daily life. And for good reason: The selection is vast, comparison shopping is a breeze and delivery’s getting faster all the time.

But while it may seem simple, there are also plenty of ways to screw up when ordering online. That’s what we’re going to talk about today: avoiding online shopping mistakes.

As usual, in this week’s podcast, I share the stage with longtime financial journalist and fellow podcaster Miranda Marquit. Give it a listen.

I’ve been experimenting with podcasts for a few months now, but in light of recent events, it’s become part of my weekly routine. It should be part of yours as well.

If you’re not familiar with podcasts, no sweat. They’re simple to use and a great way to learn new things.

A podcast is just a radio show you can download and listen to anytime. They’re totally free. They can be any length, feature any number of people and cover any topic you can possibly think of. You can listen at home, in the car, while jogging or, if you’re like me, when riding your bike.

You can listen to our podcasts here or download them to your phone from any number of places, including Apple, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher and RSS.

If you haven’t listened to a podcast yet, give it a try, then subscribe. You’ll be glad you did!
