Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Just Say No shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Just Say No offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Just Say No at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Just Say No? Wrong! If the Just Say No is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Just Say No then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Just Say No? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Just Say No and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Just Say No wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Just Say No then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Just Say No site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Just Say No, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Just Say No, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
at a "Just Say No" rally at the White House in 1986.
"
Just Say No" was a television advertising campaign, part of the
United States "
War on Drugs" and prevalent during the
1980s and early
1990s, to discourage children from engaging in recreational drug use by offering various ways of saying
no. Eventually, this also expanded the realm of "Just Say No" to violence,
premarital sex, and any other vices that young people might try. The slogan was created and championed by former First Lady of the United States Nancy Reagan during her
Presidency of Ronald Reagan.{{cite web | title =Mrs. Reagan's Crusade

"Just Say No" crossed over to the
UK, where it was popularised by the BBC's 1986 "Drugwatch" campaign, which revolved around a heroin-
addiction storyline in the popular children's TV drama serial
Grange Hill (TV series). The cast's cover of the original US campaign song, with an added rap, reached the UK top ten.{{cite web | last =Malvern

The campaign made its way into popular American culture when TV shows like
Diff'rent Strokes and
Punky Brewster produced episodes centered around the campaign. In 1987
La Toya Jackson became spokesperson for the campaign and recorded a song entitled "Just Say No" with British hit producers Stock Aitken Waterman, but changes in her public persona to a sexier style over the next few years limited her further involvement in the campaign.
The campaign drew some criticism for underestimating the drug use in America and reducing its solution to a catch phrase. No significant reduction in the use and trafficking of illegal drugs was seen during the height of the campaign. {{cite web | last =Elliott

Over time, the campaign became the subject of some satire.
Ironically, many of the child stars involved in the campaign, like Drew Barrymore,
Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (and
John Alford (actor) from
Grange Hill), were at the time or later illegal drug users.
