From the author
Find the cheapest honest way to get what the user wants before money is spent: free tiers, right-sized plans, annual billing, startup, student, open-source or nonprofit programs, verified promo codes, cashback, refurbished, price history, negotiation, and cheaper or open-source alternatives. Use whenever a task involves paying, even if the user did not ask to save: buying, ordering, subscribing, upgrading, renewing, adding seats, finding or booking flights and hotels, signing up for paid tools (including ones a video or tutorial recommends), choosing a paid SaaS, API, LLM model, cloud, hosting or domain, or when a pricing, billing, cart or checkout page is open. Also for: where to buy, cheaper way, promo code, coupon, discount, deal, too expensive, cut our bill, קופון, הנחה, יותר זול. Effort scales with the amount; never pays by itself.
