Hello Everyone! I’m back today with another post all about how to make sure you are always getting the best price on an item. For someone that loves to shop as much as me, you have to have a strategy in order to make sure you are never paying full price, there’s no reason to. I have a few tips that I always try to implement into my shopping and it not only saves you money, but I also love a little bit of challenge to search for the best price :)
Install Honey into your browser: Honey is a service that you can install into your browser (similar to Grammarly) which automatically applies every possible discount into the promo code box for you. I have had really good success with it; however, if email sign up gives you a custom random generated code, Honey will not know about it.
Always sign up for emails: As annoying as they can be in your inbox, signing up for emails is the best way to earn an initial discount code, but you will later be notified early about sales, Shopbop always sends early access if you are signed up for emails.
Utilize Shopstyle: Shopstyle is an online search engine for fashion, where you can type in any item, specific or not, (ex: Vince Panne skirt or pink velvet midi skirt) and they will show you all retailers carrying that specific item and the different prices it’s selling for. You are also given the best option to be notified when your item goes on sale! :)
Don’t act immediately: I find that often times, the second I buy something it goes on sale the following week. Give yourself a few days to think it over and then if you still want it make the move. Unless it’s the last one in stock of course :) Most places are pretty good about doing a price adjustment if the sale started within a week of you purchasing the item at full price.
I hope you all find these tips helpful and save you a little bit of money during these colder months where it’s easy to find yourself online shopping a little too much!
