3 money-saving tricks I use every time I shop online - and you should too
"But shopping online isn't always as easy as it seems -- especially if you're trying to save money. Gone are the days of mobs outside stores on Black Friday for coveted toys and TVs, but the principle behind standing in line for these products remains: shop wisely and shop quickly. Thankfully, smart shopping can happen 24/7/365, and there's no shortage of ways to do so."
"Never check out before looking to see if there's a promo code floating on the internet that you can use. In 2025, I'd hope this was more second nature than not, but I know many family and friends who skip out on trying to save some cash. Sure, you may not be able to score a promo code every time you shop online -- but it is worth it to quickly try. Most online retailers offer first-time customers a discount, typically 10 to 15% off."
Online shopping is easy but can lead to overspending without mindful habits. Smart shopping habits make checkout decisions more intentional and can be practiced year-round. A personal pre-checkout checklist helps prevent impulsive purchases and encourages research and deliberation before finalizing items. Applying promo codes or signing up for retailer offers should be attempted before every checkout. Many retailers provide first-time customer discounts, typically 10 to 15% off. Quick checks for promo codes are often worth the effort, even if a discount is not found every time. Deliberate steps at checkout maximize savings.
