The Hidden Costs of Picture Frames
This may come as a surprise to you, but I love picture frames.
Anything that can take an ordinary picture and make it look like
it's worth 10 times it's true value is a powerful thing. Some
people spend their entire lives collecting awards, degrees, and
family photos only to have them rot away in their basements
collecting dust. Are you one of those people? I didn't think so.
Having the right frame around a picture, degree, or award can
make a world of difference and can turn an ordinary piece of
paper into a crowing achievement. In fact, I have one item that
I value so much that I have had it custom framed for $130. It
was worth it to me as I'm going to have this item for the rest
of my life. While $130 did not break my bank account, I was
amazed to later find that there are lots of other better deals
that you can find on picture frames that don't cost an arm and a
leg.
Here are three ways you can save big bucks on picture frames.
1)Don't pay for someone's prime real estate. If you shop at a
fancy shopping center in a major city, you might be paying too
much for whatever you are looking to purchase. Guess what? The
overhead that is being charged in that shopping center is going
to be built into the price of your purchase. This includes
picture frames. I regularly drive by 1st class real estate
developments that have HUGE picture frame shops. Ever wonder how
these shops can afford their high rent prices? That's right.
From your purchases. Look at buying
your picture frames online
or from places that aren't in the fanciest parts of town. The
same frames can often be found for much better prices.
2)Look at do it yourself framing. Now this option isn't for
everyone. If you have some basic technical skills (and I mean
real basic), take a look at putting a frame together yourself.
If you do go to a retail framing place, they will undoubtedly
charge you time and labor to set your picture in it's new frame.
If you can do it yourself, go for it: you might be surprised at
how good you really are at assembling things. Usually, all it
takes to put together your own picture frame is a few
specialized little tools, some miniature screws, and some hard
work. Afterwards, you can even look at your work with pride
knowing the effort you put into it. This is a great option for
those of us who have more time than money.
3)Saving someone else's rent charge and doing it yourself are
great pieces of advice but don't matter when talking about
digital picture frames. Digital pictures frames are the wave of
the future. If you know all about digital picture frames, you
will be far ahead of the game and won't have to worry about what
real picture frames cost anyway. Digital picture frames are here
to stay.
