2. LOOK FOR SALES

The easiest way to save money when shopping online is to shop the sales. Just like going to an actual store, online stores will always run specials and sales. When you get to the website, these sales and specials will be advertised quite clearly on the main page. There is often an additional "Sales" page where more deals and clearance items are listed. Just look for the link or icon that will take you here. More so, almost all the sales found in the store's weekly sales ads can also be found in the online store.

Discounts and Buying in Bulk

Most online stores offer additional savings just for doing your shopping online. Because an online sale saves the store money, some of this savings is transferred to you by giving you "web-only" discounts. This is particularly true when purchasing travel online. Most airlines and hotels will have special fares and rates for those who book online. Another built-in method of saving money when shopping online is to buy in bulk. As shipping and handling can by costly, it often makes sense to buy more of an often-used item as this will bring the cost of shipping and handling down. Also, many stores will waive the shipping and handling charges if you buy a certain amount of products. In other words, the more you buy the more money you can save.
