Get a Better Deal When You Bundle

How do you take a good thing and make it better? Easy, add a couple other good things to it and drop the price a little! The idea of bundles goes back at least as far as the classic youth TV program Happy Days. Remember that time when Chachi needs a motorbike and a leather jacket for his big date with Joanie?

At first he tries to borrow a jacket from Fonzie, who wants someone to wash his white t-shirts and socks every day for a week. Chachi decides that's too much to ask, but then the Fonz agrees to let Chachi also borrow his bike, throws in a special comb and says he'll wash his own socks. The best part of the deal is that Chachi and Ritchie trick Potsie into doing the Fonz's laundry (sans socks) for a week, so Chachi gets off scot free. (Or should that be Scott free?)

In 2016, the items for trade have changed, but the principle is the same. Look at the modern fast food combo meal for instance. A bacon cheeseburger, small fries, drink and four-piece chicken nugget for just $4? What a bundle! Got BOGO on the brain? Then bundle that pair of shoes you like, to that other pair that would look nice with your new dress pants and get them both for the price of one!

Yes, there’s not much that matches the joy of finding a great bundle deal, which is why TestOut Continuing Education offers some of the best bundle pricing around. If you’re having a hard time swallowing the price of individual courses, don’t worry, there’s a solution. Here are the details:
