So we’ve put together a few tips on how to find the best shopping deals online…

Use Qmee – A great way to find some of the best online shopping deals is to use Qmee. Whether on your mobile or on your desktop. Qmee has a selection of great coupon codes and deals for lots of different brands, as well as cashback offers. When you’re planning to buy something, make sure you check out Qmee’s offers and deals first to save yourself some money!

Shop on the right day – Many brands often drop sales and discounts on certain days of the week, so make sure you keep an eye out. Thursdays and Fridays see more sales than the beginning of the week. Keep checking the brand’s website to see which days look best to buy and you could end up saving a fortune. If you’re looking for amazing deals be sure to mark your calendar for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. These shopping days only come around once a year and offer a selection of fantastic deals.

Find discount/coupon codes – Before you do any online shopping, search for online discount/coupon codes. A simple Google search can lead to some great ‘money-off’ bargains. Qmee also has a selection of discount codes and deals available. You could even start by searching for codes and seeing if you like the brands on offer. Rather than looking for codes to fit in with brand you’ve been looking at.

Newsletters, Loyalty cards and Reward Schemes – Brands often offer discounts and deals when you sign up to their marketing emails. By signing up to newsletters, you’ll also get first access to any current or upcoming promotions sent directly to your inbox. Some brands also offer loyalty and reward schemes that offer rewards and benefits for every purchase you make. If you shop at one store more often, it’s definitely worth checking if they have a loyalty or reward scheme. This could save you a lot in the long run.

Search for free shipping/ Pick up in Store – Shipping isn’t always expensive, but those extra few dollars/pounds can add up. It’s the only negative part of online shopping! But, if you do your research, and use websites that offer free shipping you can save a few extra dollars. “Free shipping“ itself is a great deal to look out for. If free shipping isn’t an option you could also get your goods shipped to the store.  This is usually a free option with most stores. You may even be able to collect your goods on the same day!
