Shopping online saves me time and money. I can browse a variety of different stores all at once. I do most of my purchases online, and I feel like I’ve become a pro. So today I’m sharing some online shopping hacks that you need to know. From saving money to getting your refund fast. All the good stuff!
One of the online shopping hacks that I didn’t include in the list is to shop after season items. So let’s say you are thinking of buying a summer dress. The best time to get it would be after summer, which is not ideal but if you want to save money, and you don’t want to pay full price, is something to consider.

ONLINE SHOPPING HACKS
-
CHOOSE WEBSITES THAT OFFER FREE SHIPPING AND RETURNS
I feel websites that offer free shipping, and returns give me peace of mind that I won’t have to worry about if the dress I ordered didn’t fit. I can try it on in the comfort of my own home and return it if something doesn’t feel right. If for any reason, I’m not sure about the size, I would order multiple sizes and then return the one that didn’t work out for me.

USE A CREDIT CARD INSTEAD OF A DEBIT CARD
I recently learned that it’s a lot faster to get a refund on your credit card than it is on your debit card. You can also build your credit and earn rewards. Another reason, I prefer to shop with a credit card online.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIZE CHART AND MODEL SIZES.
I have all my measurements on the Notes app on my computer (which is synced with my phone, so I pretty much have them with me anywhere I go) and I make sure to always check the size chart on the site I’m shopping from. After that, I compare my sizes to the model sizes to get the best size for me.

EARN CASH BACK WITH EVERY PURCHASE
If you don’t have this extension, you should get it. It saves you money with almost every purchase you make. It is so easy to use too. After you install it, the extension will pop up every time you are shopping online and show you how much you can save when buying on that site. Click on the red button that says “Activate X% cashback,” and you are good to go. After your purchase, you get a check or PayPal payment with the cashback you just earned.

READ THE REVIEWS
This is one of the first things I do, especially when purchasing from a brand I’ve never purchased before. I want to know what other people think about that product. Does the item run true to size? How is the quality? Does the site have a good return policy? These are all things that I would consider before making a purchase.
