Spend your money on splurge or save with a *** dupe. What’s that, duke? Well, it stands for duplicate. It’s not a knockoff. It’s a real product that just looks like an expensive one, but is much cheaper. The Roset Report tells you how to spot them. Ok, here are two different men’s dress shoes. Ok, they both look pretty good. One is $300. The other is $100 and $26. So they’re less than half the price. *** Look. Can you see the difference? Actually, I didn’t know at first, I thought this one was the more expensive one. No, I was wrong. This is a *** Hugo Boss dress. It costs $300. This one is $100 and $26. How do I tell? Let me show you briefly. Ok, I was on the Bloomingdale’s website. I bought an expensive Hugo Boss dress there. Take a *** screenshot of it. Ok, So, go to the Amazon app, right next to the search bar. Press the little camera icon. Okay, so you can upload it here. Okay, so you can select screenshot. I just did it. Now, I’m searching for similar products, and I get a *** list right away, and I found the shoes I want for $100.26. Isn’t that amazing? I press it, order it, and yes, I get the shoes I thought were more expensive for less than half the price. Next, makeup and skincare. Do I really need to spend money on luxury items that I have in my hands? Now, I have two Vitamin C serums. As you can see, they are the same size. I checked, and they have the same ingredients, but there are differences. One is $100.82. The other one is only $20. So, can I find a $20 version with the same ingredients and the same size? I’m going to show you how to use a site called Skin sort.com. Their fake finder tool helps you find alternatives to expensive products. I typed in expensive serum, and it found this *** match. It’s also $182. I can’t say enough about this. $20. 1 82 $20, but you’ll save a ton of furniture. ***Look at this chair from a fancier store. It’s $1100. Let’s run a picture of that chair over to the next site, Dupe.com. This site analyzed the image and found a similar chair that was cheaper and yes, I bought it. I went with this one from walmart.com. I hit order, got it delivered directly to my house, and looked. It’s ***, *** pretty similar. This one is only $284. Ok. The other one is $1100. So I saved over $800, it literally just got delivered and my dog Nugget already loves it. The stitching is beautiful too. It really feels great. Really a bargain. As always, the rules of online shopping apply here too. Find out everything about where you’re buying from and the 30, 60 day return policy, ***receive required, etc., and make sure you use a *** credit card instead of a debit card for added protection. We’ll share all of these tips in the Rawson reports newsletter. Plus, you’ll get bonus content and exclusive deals straight to your inbox. And it’s free. The sign-up link is at Rawson reports.com.
