The costs are hidden in the inflated price of the main purchase. Always shop around and compare prices for the best buy. • Be suspicious of any goods, services or offers that sound too , good to be true. Watch out for .hidden gimmicks, -n . • 'Chec k out the loc rl re la rie14,stand i businesses especially those with unfamiliar names which use a box mailing address and have no listed telephone number., • If an advertising message is difficult to follow or understand, chances are there is an attempt to bamboozle you. • Be suspicious of phrases such as "factory to you", "farm to , you", because shoppers rarely have access to the source of supply. • Be careful when you see comparisons which are not substan- tiated. for example, "Our stereo is the best". "Our prices are the lowest". Compare, check and shop around before buying. •, Before buying anything, check and substantiate all unrealistic claims such as "Our stereo tapes will last a lifetime". • Watch out for beautiful photographs: the super size Roman bath salon may be merely an illustration and not part of the, facilities at a health or beauty club, • Don't buy unlicensed cars sold without fitness certificates. The $250 you pay for the car can grow to $950 or more by the time a mechanic makes it roadworthy and you have obtained insurance. • Be aware, when you and a friend sign a lease for an apartment. you 'will be responsible for the terms of the lease if your friend departs. • When you reach 18 you might have trouble proving your age. The Age of Majority card has your photograph on it and is one of the best methods of proving your age and identification, You can obtain an application from any Ontario liquor store. Above all, remember that your signature on a contract is binding. Avoid these pitfalls Fitness Centres Avoid paying advance membership fees in a so-called health spa that has yet to open. Wait until it is a reality before joining. Sometimes "promised" spas fail'to open and the owners dis- appear with your money, You may sign up for "low introduc- tory prices" only to find that in a month or two you have lost your interest in the health program, but you are committed to a long-term contract. Mail Order Sales it is never wise to pay in advance for anything, especially from an unknown company. Once a mail order company has your money, you are in a waiting position. Always order C.O.D. (cash on delivery), Then, if the order is delayed or lost, you have protected your money. Correspondence Courses Beware of correspondence courses guaranteeing you ajob after you have received your "diploma". These courses are usually advertised in foreign magazines and on television. Besides cost- ing you a lot of money, the diploma you receive may not qualify you for your chosen career, Investigate the requirements for trade recognition with qualified professional bodies and associations and inquire about night school and community college courses. Buying on Credit Buying credit is no different from buying consumer goods. The shopper has to know when, what, where and how much to buy, depending on needs, values, goals and income. If repayments are not carefully budgeted, future income will be strained and neces- sities such as foods, rent and clothing will have to be cut back.
