More and more these days I find myself making purchases online. Whether it’s for a USB cable that I found for cheap on eBay, an irresistible shade of glittery makeup or a cute, must-have, can’t-find-in-stores toy for Ryan, I’d say a good thirty percent of the purchases I make are done online. The inconvenience of waiting around for a product to ship and arrive (a prime example is a hot pink corner computer tower I purchased for Alyssa three weeks ago that won’t ship until September 12th) and the hassle of paying shipping is worth it if the item just can’t be found offline. This is especially true for vintage toys, discontinued items, and items that were quick to sell out offline, but not so quick to sell out online (this is most common with clothing and specific sizes).
When I do shop online, I always try to find a coupon to use. In some cases I’ll already have a coupon code or discount offer, because it was either emailed to me or I read about it on a blog or on Facebook or Twitter. In those situations where I’m not already armed with a coupon, I’ll google something along the lines of [store name] + coupon code or [store website] + promotion to see what I can find. Sometimes I get lucky. And sometimes I don’t.
Of course, sites like pricepickle.com make it extremely easy to find coupons. Rather than blindly searching on Google, I can simply browse right to a listing — for example, HomeAway.com Coupon. PricePickle.com offers all sorts of coupons for hundreds of online stores. In addition to coupons, price comparisons are available, so you can save not only by using coupons, but by choosing the best store to make your purchase at! Want to learn more about PricePickle.com?
