Money-Saving Tips Every Shopaholic Should Know

Everyone copes with stress differently. Some sweat it out, some sleep it off, while others...cart out.

If you find yourself spending the bulk of your time shopping online, we�??re not here to rattle on about why you shouldn't be doing so. Instead, we�??ve got some tips to help you become a smarter shopper.

Leave items in your cart?�

This trick doesn�??t work all the time but unless it�??s a limited time offer or the demand is high, the odds are in your favour. The trick here is to add items to your cart without checking out. In a while, you�??re likely to receive an email from the store reminding you to cart your items out, along with a discount of some sort.

Promo codes and vouchers

Everyone loves a good discount. With shoppers becoming more well-informed and price-sensitive, brands are keeping up by releasing occasional promo codes. Get ahead of the game by following their official social media channels, signing up for emails or joining Telegram channels for a consolidated list of the latest promotions.

Alternatively, you can shave a few dollars off your purchase by getting cash vouchers from Shopee. We find this trick exceptionally helpful for those who use ride-hailing apps.

Cashback?�

The idea of getting monetary rewards for shopping was one that was unheard of back then. But things changed when ShopBack entered the scene. Complete your transaction as usual after you're redirected to your store of choice and within a few days, the cashback amount will be credited into your ShopBack account.?�

To ensure you always get a good deal, you can consider installing the ShopBack extension on your desktop which will ping you if cashback is offered on a particular site visited. If you�??re shopping on Shopee, it pays to purchase from sellers who offer Cashback. They are identifiable by the cashback banner in the product image.

Free delivery/shipping?�

A picture speaks a thousand words and this sums up the importance of free shipping.?�

Whether you�??re ordering food on delivery platforms or shopping online, we recommend filtering the search results by �??free delivery�?� or �??deals�?� as a general rule of thumb. It�??s wise to opt for self-collection if you�??re not too far off from the collection point. Unless of course, free shipping is offered. If all else fails, the most foolproof method is to wait for double digit sales days like 9.9 or 11.11.

Sourcing for the best deals is one way of coping with the guilt of spending money on wants. But what if I told you it�??s possible to save up for a better future with each transaction?

Simply download the SNACK by Income app and link a lifestyle trigger (e.g. Transport or Retail) to any micro-insurance policy of your choice. If your lifestyle trigger is selected as transport, you would be contributing a small amount (e.g. $0.30) to your micro-insurance plan each time you travel with your EZ link card. thewokesalaryman perfectly summarized everything you need to know.

If you need a little push to try it out yourself, signing up for an account on the SNACK app would earn you instant monetary rewards + a $10 Foodpanda voucher!
