There are different ways to save your hard earned dollars while shopping online. I am going to discuss about them.
Coupon Codes!
Different online merchants as a means of product promotion allows big discounts in the form of Coupon Code. When you browse through the product catalog you can see the coupon code. These are usually alphanumeric characters which you need to enter in specific place to get the discount. Simply copy the code and paste it in appropriate place. In some cases, the coupon code can be entered while you are in the shopping cart. In some other cases, the coupon code is entered on the order review page prior to checkout. In few cases, buyers have reported that they just can not locate the place where to paste the code. In that case, you need to read the FAQ section or contact the merchant asking how to use the Coupon code.
There are certain other facts that you must know before using the code. Coupon codes may expire after certain amount of time. So, if you are using a code that has actually expired, you are not going to get any discount that you are looking for. To check whether a code is still active or not you might have to go upto the order review page. You should see the amount of discount you have enjoyed by using the code. If you can not find discount, simply do not proceed further. The coupon must have expired in the meantime.
Promotional Links!
The other means to save is to follow a promotional link. You are most likely to land directly in the product page by clicking these links. You can check what is the marked price and what is the discounted price for that product. If you can not find any discount, you need to proceed further as the offer must have expired meanwhile.
What to do with the expired offers!
Now the biggest question is that what to do if you find a lucrative coupon or promotional link has actually expired. The simple answer is that try to look for another shop, or wait for another promotional offer. It is not a great idea to lodge a complaint against the merchant for an expired offer as it is at their sole discretion whether to continue or drop a promotion.
Auctions!
Apart from using Coupon codes or promotional links to save money while shopping online, you can take part in online auctions. There are many popular sites offering you with the auction service and it is not that difficult either to register in those sites and take part in auctions.
To conclude, all I can say is that instead of being compulsive, if you be judicious, you are sure to save your hard earned dollars while shopping online.
