Good morning, and Happy New Year!!
So we're just gonna jump right into it. I know I've mentioned before that I'm a huge fan of shopping online. However, often times, we're not thinking about the safety and security of online shopping. Usually when we see something we like, we just go for it, then there are a ton of newsletters we're receiving everyday. Not to mention, we could all be at risk of potential annoyances (i.e.: victims of fraud). Well, here's my guide to online shopping!!
PayPal is probably one of the safest ways to purchase anything online, and with most vendors offering PayPal as a payment method, you should just go ahead and sign up. It's free to use, unless you're using it for a business of course, and it's also very easy to use. Just sign up, securely add your bank account information (debit and/or credit cards, too), and start shopping!!
I only began using Ebates recently and I love it! Not only do you receive cash back from shopping, you're also given so many coupons and promotions to also help your shopping experience!!
Retail Me Not is the probably the best place to find coupons and promotions. I've been using this site for years and it hasn't failed me yet. However, with the coupon codes, you have to sometimes check them all to find one that actually works, but other than that, it's pretty great! You can also use Retail Me Not for in-store promotions. Just download the app, find the store, and show the coupon to the associate at checkout.
You can find pretty much anything on Amazon, and for a discounted price, usually (depends on the product). Another great thing about Amazon is you can received up 7% cash back using Ebates!!
I technically haven't used this app as I just heard about it yesterday afternoon, but it was created to make it easier to unsubscribe from promotional emails. We all sign up for email promotion when shopping at a new site (they sometimes offer amazing deals for first time shoppers), but become completely annoyed when we have an inbox full of emails that aren't really necessary. Let's all try Unroll.me together!
Search Engines
Bing and Google are your friends. Literally type in a description of what you're looking for, and it'll be found!
Happy Shopping!
XO, Deanna
