Did you know that if you leave an item in your online shopping cart, the retailer might contact you and offer a discount? How cool is that?
Still, why stop at a single hack, when you can save even more money by combining 4 of them?
So we bring you three hacks that can save you money without second guessing if you can afford an item or not.
1. Shop on These 3 Days
Shopping on specific days is a popular tactic when hunting for cheap airplane tickets, but you can use the same hack on items as well.
Most retailers dish out perks like free shipping or an online discount on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday because that's when people are the busiest.
With that little hack in mind, you can take advantage of other people's busy hours and score a sweet deal.
2. Use Credit Card, Not a Debit
A little-known fact is that it is far better to use a credit card than a debit card.
Unlike with a debit card where it's only a transaction, with credit cards you can easily get rewards and earn money-saving points.
Plus, it's safer because in the unfortunate case of card number theft, the thief can't access your bank account and it's easier to get refunds.
3. Save Money After Buying
Are you big on saving receipts? If no, it's time to start.
You can get money back if the item goes on sale as long as two months after your purchase. But you need to save the receipt.
We suggest apps like Ibotta where you can automatically store online receipts, and the app also notifies you if the purchased item does go on a sale.
There are many other hacks for online shopping, but the three we listed proved to be the most efficient ones.
Although other hacks might save more money, they might not work every time.
But retailers are always dishing out sales and credit card companies are looking to ensure you stick to using one.
So take advantage of that and even better, you can use all three hacks alongside The Best 10 Coupon & Discount Apps for even more saving. Now that's a sweet deal.
