Favorite Things: Online Shopping

Like I’ve mentioned before, I love shopping online. It is the best way to get a lot done in a short amount of time; plus, in the winter, you get to stay cozy inside on your couch or even in bed! But to me, the best advantage is the deals and discounts that online retailers offer.
Personally, I do not shop online unless I can find a coupon code. Even if it’s for something as small as free shipping, it makes a huge difference! For coupon codes, there are usually some great deals you can find on blogs. Heck, I have two really amazing ones right here at Lush to Blush! (Androbel: 20% off & Riffraff: 10% off with code LUSHTOBLUSH!) But there are also a couple other ways to save money.
First, I suggest grabbing a code from Frugaa.com. This website has coupon codes for over 4,500 top online retailers, so your chances of finding a code for a specific store are pretty great. Next, head over to Ebates.com for some cash back. This site offers up to 20% cash back on online purchases. Just head to Ebates and search for the store you want to shop at. Click the link to shop and that’s it!
If you’re more of a local shopper, fear not–there’s an online option for you too! Simply download the House Account app for your iPhone or iPad and browse the local selections of boutiques near you. You can then chat directly with the boutique to get a deal. House Account will also periodically send you emails for exclusive discounts from the participating local boutiques!
Seriously, online shopping is the best and definitely one of my favorite things!
Do you shop online? What sites do you use to score deals and discounts?

Online shopping is so dangerous for me! Those sites you suggested for codes and cash back might make it even more dangerous…

I can be convinced to buy just about anything online if I get free shipping! Shipping costs are the biggest hassle of online shopping.
Megan

Haha, same here! I totally agree. I think everyone should have free shipping!

These are great tips! I love to shop online, I do it for almost everything, but you’re totally right shipping can be a fortune! Something as small as a coupon code can make a huge difference!

Gotta love ebates! I don’t do a ton of shopping online, so sometimes it takes me a little while to reach the required $5.01…but I’d much rather wait than never get money back at all! And I’m going to check out Frugaa next time I shop online. Haven’t heard of that one before (not that I’ve done a whole lot of research in this area…)
Megan
January 29, 2014 @ 6:25 pm
Exactly! It’s like a little surprise when you get it too 🙂 Frugaa is great. I always make sure to check it before buying anything!

I shop at Amazon.com and am a member of their Prime Membership. I have free shipping and it usually arrives within two days. I love it! I spend A LOT at Amazon.com!
Megan

That’s a good one! I’m a Prime member too – I totally should have mentioned it! And you should use Ebates for Amazon too! 🙂

I’ve only recently discovered the joys of online shopping. There are so many things you can buy online that you can’t find in the local malls. I’ve never heard of Frugaa. I’m going to check them out. Thanks!
