Many of us are extremely talented shoppers these days — we’re tech savvy, we research, and we know where to go to get it for less. But we’re talking clothes, shoes, and handbags here. Not household items. The world of televisions, tablets, computers, and kitchen appliances is an entirely different ball game.
In most instances, on-sale or not, you’re definitely going to make a dent in your bank account. Sure, you can get away with not having some of the above mentioned items, but we live in an overly connected and busy world, so not having something like a computer (or a coffee maker) is ludicrous. And could you imagine going through life without a blow dryer? Of course not!
Basically, we’re required to have a fully stocked abode, regardless of our stage in life — student, recent grad, all the way to fancy Wall Street executive. So stressful!
Newly launched site, Joinem, wants to omit the stress that comes along with shopping for household necessities by helping you get them for less. Every. Single. Time.
Here’s How it Works
In short, you find a product you like on the site and it’ll be listed for a price that’s lower than the lowest price anywhere else online. This price never changes, but in order to unlock it, a certain number of people have to want to purchase it. Joinem then helps boost the group buying power (which they call WePower) by finding like-minded shoppers to join in on the buy.
You can even rally up your own connections by using the personalized referral URLs on your favorite social media platforms. Yes, the future of shopping is group buying. Woot!

You can save even more with Joinem Bucks — a rewards program that actually rewards. Get five of them for just opening up a free account! They’re also just as good as cash, 1 Joinem Buck = $1.
