Are you a comparison shopper in real life too?
Yes, absolutely! Working with deals and offers every day has turned me into a real-life comparison shopper. Before buying anything whether it’s a pair of shoes, a mobile plan, or even groceries,I check a few websites or apps to compare prices. It’s become a habit, and I actually enjoy it now. I don’t rush to buy something straight away anymore. I look at the price, see if there’s a promo code, check if cashback is available, and only then go ahead. It doesn’t matter if it’s a big or small purchase.If there’s a chance to save, I’ll take it. I’ve also become more patient. I wait for sales or bundle deals instead of grabbing things at full price. Even while ordering food online, I switch between platforms to find the best deal. Honestly, it feels good to save a little every time. That’s what I like most about this habit and it’s simple, but it adds up. And since I write about this daily, it only makes sense that I apply those same tips in real life too.
What’s your personal favourite savings tip?
My personal favourite savings tip is: never skip checking for a coupon code or cashback,even if you're in a rush. It takes less than a minute to check, and the savings are often better than expected. Whether I’m shopping online for clothes, booking a hotel, or even ordering dinner, I always check for a discount first. These days, many stores also offer a little extra for first-time users, so I sometimes sign up using a new email to access those deals too.Another trick I like is using price tracking tools or adding items to my cart and waiting. Sometimes, the store sends a reminder email with a discount to encourage the purchase. It’s small, but it works! And for bigger purchases, I try to buy during sale events like mid-season sales or flash deals. All these steps don’t take much time once you get used to them. It’s just about building the habit. The best part is that saving money doesn’t mean missing out ,it just means being a little smarter with when and how you shop. That’s a habit I always stick to.
What’s the first thing you do when looking for a great online deal?
Whenever I want to save money while shopping online, the first thing I do is take a moment to search for a good deal. I usually start by visiting websites I trust that share discount codes and promotions . If it’s almost like a little routine now. I’ll type in the store’s name along with “coupon” or “promo code” and see what comes up. Sometimes I even check the brand’s own website to see if they have any special offers running.
If I’m not in a hurry, I’ll browse around for seasonal sales or sign up for the newsletter because that often gets me a welcome discount. I also check cashback sites from time to time , it’s nice to get something extra back after shopping.
Before I buy, I like to compare prices between a couple of stores. I don’t just look for the cheapest price but also check reviews to make sure I’m getting good value. And when I’m finally at checkout, I always try applying any coupon I found. It feels good knowing I didn’t rush and took a few extra minutes to save some money.
