One of the greatest words of advise that you can try when buying things online is to "look for promo codes" for the company you are buying from. It costs you absolutely nothing to search around to see if you can find one. And, it costs you absolutely nothing to type in a few characters to see if it works.
There are lots of online sites that pool together promo codes for most of the major retailers on the internet. How they work is that they allow the public to submit any codes they find. Thus, if you get emails from a specific retailer offering you a discount, you can go onto these websites and post the code you got for others to use. This makes it so the promo codes are widely distributed.
Here's all you do... When you go to buy something on the internet, open another browser window and type in "Company Name promo codes". So, if you are buying from say "Best Buy", you would type in "Best Buy promo codes" into a search engine (like Google, Yahoo or Bing). Then, see what results come up. Go to a few of the sites and see what they have to offer. Sometimes you may find a bunch of options or discounts that are being offered, and other times you won't find anything. But, what does it hurt to look for a few extra minutes to potentially save a lot of money.
Some suggested sites:
- Brad's Deals: www.bradsdeals.com
- Coupon Cabin: www.couponcabin.com
- Retail Me Not: www.retailmenot.com
- Deal Catcher: www.dealcatcher.com
As with all of these types of online offers, always read the fine print and make sure what you are buying matches the code. Usually you will have the option to enter a Promo Code during the checkout process. If you enter the code, it should show you the discount right then and there. If it doesn't work, then it should tell you. And, you can always try another code.
This is a great way to get a discount when buying things online! Give it a try...!
