Shopping almost feels like
therapy.When you want to relax you go for a massage but when you wish to uplift
your mood, you go shopping. Online shopping is a safe place and it feels
heavenly when you get to avail discounts and when schemes actually benefit you!
It doesn't
matter whether you are in your pyjamas or in shorts or eating fries
or listening to songs.. In a world filled with online websites, there are
a few that stand out.
Personally,I like to shop at NYKAA for make-up as they carry a number of international and Indian brands however when it comes to clothing, I prefer MYNTRA.
If you are a shopaholic like me,
discounts can take you a long way as you save quite a good amount of money.
When people log o to a website, everyone has one common mission : "To get the best deal ever!!"
Here are 10 ways you can snag it without breaking a
sweat:
1) Make
separate email account.
The shopping sites continually
bombard customers with various offers some of which may be annoying. The best
part is you get to use your weird email id...maybe the ones created during
school days.
E-commerce sites are not going to
judge you on your weird usernames. LOL!!
2) Make a shopping
list.
Life becomes easier
when you’re organized. The internet is filled with offers and discounts but you
need to pick and choose the ones you want. Lists make life more efficient. Make
a list of items you want to so that you can go on a mission to find each one of
them. I usually make one even if I have to shop for make-up online.
This helps us to tackle one item at a time than dealing with giant-sized
tasks that can be quite overwhelming.
3) Check the
"Sales " section.
This should be first nature.
Don't even bother to checkout the general section.Sales are where
your dreams can comes true!!If you find your item it feels like
hitting a "JACKPOT'. It may so happen that you have seen the product
just a few days ago and then you find the same product at half the price , the
feeling is incomparable and your hands cant just stop hitting the item to the
cart.
4) Apply filters.
Applying filters should be second
nature as it saves a lot of time. By applying filters you view products what
suit your need. You should apply filter of price ,tentative sizes,
preferred colours ,pecific pattern etc.that you are looking for.This
is very important as your time is saved from
viewing unnecessary items which may not be of your interest due
to unavailability of sizes. So always apply filters and become a Pro!
5) Size does matter.
Different brands
have different sizes be it footwear or clothes.The best way to be
a smart shopper is to checkout the size chart.This would save you from the
irritation of getting a wrong size product which you were waiting for
desperately and then have to initiate a return. So be smart and have
a hassle free shopping experience by always checking for the sizes.
6) Don't ignore the offer Popups.
The random popups
can be annoying as they continuously flash at your screen,but don't avoid
them ! Some of them may have great Promocode and you could be
missing out on some super exciting offers.
7) Days matter.
Shop on
Wednesdays, Thursday and Fridays as websites provide great
discounts/deals. As soon as it hits 12.00AM on a Tuesday, roll
up your sleeves and get ready to dive in! This not only saves you a good amount
of money but also help save time.
Even Saturday and Sunday are good days to shop on, but I
have noticed the prices of the product tend to be inflated
because of heavy discounts. Some times i have been lucky though!
8) Check for best offer.
Most of the sites
have best offer section just below the the prices mentioned, which we tend to overlook and end up paying more
for the product. Checking for best offers is essential as it has many
offers related to it.(for eg: for a specific order amount you would get extra
discount)That means Discount on discount. The feeling
is simply amazing of getting extra discount.
9) Read the reviews.
While the reviews
are mostly not available when you are buying apparels. But some items may look
very attractive to you but when you read the review of the product and it
is negative then you are saved from buying a wrong product.
10(A) Add items to your cart and judge. 
Wondering why? After we add items to our cart we usually tend
to reconsider our likes and make changes to to the items in the
cart.Things which were appealing before may not be appealing now. After adding
to the cart, the products, you may get a few more discounts on the entire deal
thereby reviewing the Cart worth it!!

10(B) Let items stay in your cart.
Usually online retailers notice the carts and after a month
or so send you a discount coupon to finish your transaction. This is just a
much-needed push for you to purchase the item. Although this process takes
time, it’s well worth-it!
I hope these tips help you to
sharpen your online-shopping skills.
