Being a smart shopperMany people choose to shop online to save time and energy, but what they don’t realize is that they can also save money by shopping online.  By following these 4 easy steps, you will find that online shopping will save you time, energy and money:

1.  Visit the Sites the Smart Shoppers Frequent

On the web there are many sites that focus on the best deals available.  Some of these sites focus specifically on electronics, clothes, or watches, but some sites, like dealigg.com or dealnews.com, focus on great new deals that are discovered by experienced shoppers.  These sites also provide a rating system so the online community can rate how great the deal really is, or if the deal is invalid.  This way you can shop where other smart online shoppers shop.

2.  Get Your Money Back with Cashback

By signing up for sites like Ebates or Mr. Rebates, you can accumulate cash back rebates.  Simply sign-in to one of the rebate sites, and if the rebate site is affiliated with the online stores you wish to purchase from, you can get cash back on up to 20% of your purchase from that store!  You simply have to be signed in, and navigate to the online store from the rebate store.  Make sure you enable cookies on your web browser!

3. Use Promotional Codes

Look for promotional codes or online coupons to use for your chosen online store.  By searching the name of your online store on sites like retailmenot.com or MyCoupons.com, you can check to see if there are any coupon codes you can use.  If you find a coupon code that is applicable, simply type in the code in the “Promotional Code” or “Coupon Code” box when you are checking out your shopping cart at your online store.

4. Use a Rewarding Method of Payment

Some credit card companies or Paypal will provide you with cash back, rewards, or extended warranty when you purchase with their method of payment.  Choose wisely, as sometimes it may be more beneficial to opt for an extended warranty on electronics, or to use a flight-rewarding credit card to double your miles when booking a flight.
