Bargain hunters unite
November 17, 2006 | 12:00am
Nokia, together with Studio 23, recently held the Nokia Sports Nite, a kick-off party to introduce the Nokia Ultimate Challenge Weekend where active and able-bodied participants will get to test their physical limits through different challenges and activities such as weightlifting, free-throw shooting, Dance Revolution, Daytona Racing, and other physically exciting tasks. It also features the Ultimate Challenge Race where participants will be racing from one end of the metro to another using the Nokia 5500 Sport as their ultimate adventure tool.
The Nokia 5500 Sport features all the technology that every active-minded consumer needs, and is specially designed to withstand the daily rigors of work and workout. "The mobile handset combines the passion and spirit of sports with the latest in mobile communications. It’s an ideal companion for an active, urban lifestyle," says William Whyte, Nokia general manager.
Speaking of passion and active lifestyle, I have noticed that bargain shopping requires a passion similar to playing sports. One must know how to play the game in order to stay in it. With its surprising twists and turns, one should also be built tough enough to last till the game is over or the best deal is negotiated.

Is it advisable for a bargain hunter to shop in a group or solo?
Solo so that you can shop till you drop, take as much time as you want and find the best bargains; it’s more stress-free without worrying about others.

Would you advise a bargain hunter to shop via the Internet?
Why not? Especially if you are looking for something like custom action figures which are not advertised commercially. You could also find weird deals on the Net, too.

Who are some of the shopping icons of a bargain hunter?
