“If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.” —Edmund Burke
In today’s world, the convenience of shopping online is driving a bigger set of people bananas for it. However, behind those tons of pecuniary benefits too under a few clicks, their thrifty retailers who are taking a big bite out of consumer’s pocket. Well, thanks to those free coupon websites that tickle us pink and save our wallets. But this is not the limit you know! In this article, I have rounded up some sagacious tricks to help you score major discounts when you shop online.
1.Say Bye-Bye to “Should-I’ve-waited?” anxiety!
Every single feeling of a good shopping is followed by an anxiety that yells “EEK! SHOULD I HAVE WAITED?” Might the dealer be going to announce a deal tomorrow? Well bubs, it’s time to calm yourself down a bit because I am going to reveal the best times to shop for different stuff.
Besides Sundays to be tempting to lay down on tummy, scrolling, clicking and throwing items into our virtual cart, let me be very real that it’s the worst time to shop. Because most retailers offer discounts and deals on Tuesday. While Thursdays and Fridays are next best days after Tuesday to score discounts. However, Sunday-Monday is the worst time. Shopping the right time would surely satisfy your anxiety and would surely get you to hand best deals.
2.Hit your bill with a couple of coupon codes
If you’re lucky enough that your online store allows you to use different discount codes in US, when you check out, I advise you to use them in order. Presume you have a percent based off coupon (say 20% off) and a $20 off code, must apply your percent based off first. It will subtract 20% of the bigger amount and then when you’ll chop $20 using your coupon, you’ll be ending up digging more. Isn’t that smart?
3.Leave your filled-cart for a while
On stores that need an email binding to shop them, you can apply this frugal trick. Select items you want to buy and depart your cart for a couple of days. Most dealers hate unfinished deals and would entice you with discounts or would offer you a different price. Sounds funny but it works.
4.Compare the prices robotically
For centuries, smart shoppers have been comparing prices to find the cheapest deal for their desired pick. Like many, you might’ve been doing this manually as well, but now there are sites and smart apps that scan the web and match the price. These apps smartly find out similar products for the cheapest price across the web. So, what are you waiting for? Hand one and get started right away!
5.Tot up more coupons with a slew of email addresses
Companies send special and single-use coupons to a sorted group of their clientele. You can smartly sign-up with multiple email addresses thus you can tot-up multiple unique deals & can increase your savings.
6.Show a clean pair of heels to the dynamic price traps
Did you know stores play a biased role to offer different prices to different clienteles according to their splurging patterns? Pondering how-cum companies know our splurging habits, right? Well, websites track your internet surfing history to notice your online behavior, so they can use intimate knowledge to determine your price point. The best way to avoid getting charged bookoo-bucks is to clear your browsing history and cookies. Log out your social media accounts. Also, you can try switching over to “incognito” mode in your browser.
So, these are a few of the many tricks that I use to shop online. Let me know what’s your super-saving-trick in the comment section below. I’d be on cloud nine to know if this post becomes a source to share frugal shopping tricks.
