Three of the Best Online Shopping Tips and Tricks to Save Money
Tip #1 – Has something you bought at full price just gone on sale or have a killer coupon? Ask for a refund of the difference. Many stores will honor coupons even after you have purchased the item. I saw this the other day at Bed Bath & Beyond. I forgot to bring my coupon in with me, but they will honor it afterward by just returning to the store with your coupon and receipt.
Tip #2 – Don’t forget about price matching! Price matching can be a great way to save money with coupons, and it is something that we often forget to ask about while in a store. Find out in the podcast exactly how Scott does his own price matching combined with a little showrooming! Scott told me that he uses StellaService.com to find out a store’s policies. This is a great resource that will let you review a store’s shipping or return policies before you make a purchase.

Tip #3 – If you are looking for a great deal, use your shopping cart as a weapon. If you throw items in your online shopping cart and then abandon it, you will often get a follow-up email from the website. A lot of times you’ll get a nice coupon along with an email reminder to finish your purchase. That’s a great deal and a great way to save a ton of money using coupons not even available to the public!
