How to save money shopping online
I am excellent at finding bargains when I shop online. I do quick research on my go-to websites to ensure I can get the product for my cheaper.
Promo code on top of promo code, I always win with my purchases online – while saving a trip to the store.
Steps I take before I check out online
- Copy and paste item name in Google to see additional retailers that offer item cheaper – check if site may be offering a promo that day (Labor Day sale, etc.)
- Check Ebates.com, see if website qualifies for cash back savings. Sometimes you will get as much as 16% back in cash via PayPal from stores! If you don’t have an account sign up and bookmark it so it shows up on your Google Chrome in the bookmark bar – that way you won’t forget. There is also an App for those who shop on their phone often.
- Sign up email for additional % off – chances are you can unsubscribe or it will be filtered in your promotions filter anyway.
- Check Retailmenot.com for promo codes.
- Consider other retailers that offer free shipping – Amazon, Nordstrom, and Zappos. You can likely can find the item on another site to save at least $8 on shipping. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, click here for a 30-Day Free Trial!
So what happens is I’ve already found the cheapest item offered online, clicked through via Ebates.com to get a little additional cash back, and used a promo code I found from Retailmenot.com.
