7 PROVEN WAYS TO GET THE BEST DEALS ONLINE Online shopping has become a routine part of life. With a few clicks or taps, you can buy virtually anything. But before you restock on toilet paper or purchase those trendy sneakers from the ad in your Instagram feed, make sure you’re not spending more than you have to. Here’s how to shop smart and find the best prices online. 1. SET A BUDGET AND MAKE A SHOPPING LIST Making a budget that accounts for clothing, gifts, groceries and other expenses will help you figure out how much you can afford to spend - and avoid debt. 2. SHOP AT THE RIGHT TIME There’s a best time of the year to buy almost anything, including pencils, bedding, appliances, furniture and more. 3. APPLY COUPONS Knowing the basics of how to coupon can help you save on purchases from grocery stores and other retailers. 4. COMPARE (AND MATCH) PRICES Different retailers sometimes sell identical products at nonidentical prices, so it pays to do a little research.
5. USE SHOPPING TOOLS AND APPS Popular browser extensions and apps can locate coupons, track prices and more - so you don’t have to. 6. BUY ONLINE, PICK UP IN STORE You can shop online and get your order the same day (possibly at a discount) without paying shipping costs. 7. GET REWARDS But don’t let the promise of a reward encourage you to buy things you don’t need. For more, visit NerdWallet.com |
