(#3) Leave An Item In Your Cart
Not entirely sure if you want to purchase an item in your cart? This might seem counterintuitive, but just leave it there and wait a while. Within a couple of days, the retailer may offer you a discount code for the item.
It doesn't always work, but it's worth a shot - especially if it's an expensive product or something you're truly on the fence about purchasing.
(#8) Pick Up Your Items In-Store
Many retailers still charge for shipping, especially if an order total doesn't exceed a certain amount. If you're buying from an online retailer with a brick-and-mortar location in your area, opt to pick your purchases up at the store.
This could potentially save you a lot on shipping costs.
(#13) Ask For Promo Codes Via Online Chat
Many major retailers and product manufacturers have an online chat option on their websites. Most people skip over this potential opportunity for a discount. Initiating the chat, which connects you with a live person, and simply requesting a coupon or discount code often yields results.
Stores with a good track record of giving customers bargains via online chat include American Eagle, Bass Pro Shops, Home Depot, and L.L. Bean. Be courteous, and always express your appreciation for the company's products and services (a little buttering-up never hurts).
(#7) Shop Through Pinterest
Pinterest is a great place to share artsy-craftsy dreams and favorite recipes, but it's a little-known fact that you can shop through Pinterest, too. It works like any other online shopping portal. If you see a Buyable Pin, that means what you're looking at is for sale.
Add the item to your cart, pay, and it’s yours.
(#12) Google For Discounts
Just as most of us turn to Google for answers to life's questions large and small, you should also use Google to search for discounts when shopping for a specific product or buying from a specific retailer.
Also, Google sometimes offers discounts to shoppers using Google Store or buying Google-branded merchandise.
(#6) Shop On Wednesdays, Thursdays, And Fridays
The day of the week you choose to do your online shopping can have a direct impact on how much money you save. Many companies offer discounts or sales on Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays, so make these your preferred shopping days.
One exception is shopping for airfare; Tuesday afternoons tend to have the best deals for cheap flights.
