$aving Money While Online Shopping

Getting my first post rolling here with a "gift" for my readers, how great of me! (so humble, I know). Let me start off by saying that my interests or "genre" as some might call it is based on spirituality. My mission is to have more people be spiritually aware as we are technically spirits with vessels...a subject for another time.....MONEY! Money is highly spiritual. In our current reality money is the currency...and currency is energy. So for me, helping others save money is actually helping them conserve energy which is so necessary in this ultra draining society. Do you see how it all ties in so subtly? No? Well, read on and enjoy anyways if you're an online shopaholic, at least I tried! :)

TIP 1: Sign up for website subscriptions. You know that annoying little bar that pops up and asks you to enter your email to become a member? DO IT! After that what you're gonna want to do is load up your cart with all the goodies then.....EXIT THE WEBSITE! You read that correctly. See once they have your email address most online shops will want you to complete your purchase and are willing to send you an exclusive coupon code to ensure that you do so. You'll get an email like "hey so, uhmm you forgot to purchase your items what's up with that? Here's a little discount code just for you in case you were short a few dollars ok? come back!" And that's how you get them! :)

TIP 2: In any case before paying full price, always Google discount codes for the site you're shopping on. You'll most likely always get a link to a list of coupon codes from sites like retailmenot.

TIP 3: Shop at specific times of the year, i.e holidays. There will most likely always be a sale on mother's day, Easter, memorial day, ketchup day, toe nail day, etc...just check that calendar! There's nothing worst then paying full price and then seeing it on sale a week later :(

TIP 4: Get special codes from affiliates. Some companies, mostly online based companies like to give influencers promo codes to give to their followers. I've found that the best way to find these codes are to go on Instagram or Youtube (that's where most of the affiliates are). For Youtube, search "coupon code" for the company you want and click on any related videos, check the description for the code...or watch the video and hope that there's mention of a promo code in the midst of all the rambling. With Instagram just search by hashtag.

TIP 5: Speaking of Instagram, make sure to follow all the stores you like to shop at. Most of the time companies will announce sales/flash sales on their social media first. You get first hand notification on sales you wouldn't normally know about. (Follow them on Facebook too & be extra lurky).

TIP 6: Finally when all else fails just get yourself the knockoff on Aliexpress. They have literally everything on there!! Cheers!

So there you have it. ...spreading the wealth. Now go out there and spend your energy wisely!
