How to Save Money Shopping Online (Fashion Blog Post)

I like to shop.

Offline, online, doesn't matter. I can shop anytime, anywhere. However, when I became a stay-at-home mom, I had to deal with a tight budget that completely broke my shopping habit.

Yeah. Right.

I still shop; I just do it frugally now. Frugal is savvy, ya know :O)

First of all, why shop online?

Because it saves time.

No penetrating through traffic, or running in and out of stores; just plain consumer fun in the comfort of your own living room.

But you still gotta be frugal. An online bill racks up as fast as a physical one.
 

Before breaking bank (again), check out these tips on how to save money shopping online:

1. Know your size - your exact size

Returns cost money. Even if a store allows free returns, you still have to spend time repackaging and going to the post office.

To avoid return fees and the inconvenience, shop at familiar stores, where you know your exact size.

If you have doubts, don't buy it.

 

2. Choose stores with incentives

Incentives include free shipping for purchases over a certain amount, generous return policies, seasonal deals, holiday sales, etc. Basically, anything that benefits you, and gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

In my book, ALL stores should offer incentives of some sort, but especially stores online.

Online stores are more cost-effective than physical stores. Therefore, they need to be that much more generous to customers, and offer completely alluring deals.

To become even savvier about finding online deals, try sites like Uniprice, where you can compare various online deals and find the highest discount.

 

3. Get your money back!

Well, at least some of it.

Always use credit cards that has a cash-back or bonus program.

Hey! Shopping is a hard job, and you should get paid for doing it.
