V ;: 5 Online Shopping Hacks That Will Change Your Life

Since everyone on the internet has started creating lists about life hacks/food hacks/hacksofhacks/heckalottahacks I thought I would jump on the band wagon and do a list of online shopping hacks. (hey, if you can't beat 'em join 'em.) I guarantee these hacks will save you MORE MONEY than any other hack list you've seen.

1. Use websites that give you money back

This ingenious idea is a form of advertising for websites and FREE MONEY for you, me and every online shopper reading this right now. In a nutshell, you sign up for websites like shopback.com and shop at all your regular stores (and when I say all, I really mean all e.g. Luxola, Rakuten, Zalora, FoodPanda, Quatar Airways and the list goes on) and get a percentage of cash back from all your purchases which you can use to buy other stuff....to get MORE stuff for..... Free....(!?!)

which is BASICALLY

To all the skeptics out there (aka people like me), this is some pretty legit stuff. I heard some guy saved $800 from one of these websites and he's used the savings to book tickets to Fiji.

2. Online Coupons

Coupons are your life. Preach it with me sister. You can get all your online coupons and promo codes over here. You could also look out for promo codes by following your style icons on instagram.

3. CLEAR YOUR CACHE/HISTORY (do it now...)

I cleared my cache and I saved $50 on my flight on sky scanner. I did not clear my cache and I paid $8 more for my penny board on rakuten.com.

4. Save on shipping

We all know shipping is a pain in the.................................wallet. Please save your money and buy things from websites with free international shipping. Free shipping is a beautiful place. Alternatively, use package forwarding services like those discussed in detail here.

5. Price Comparison Engines

These websites compare prices and products FOR you. You get the cheapest deals on these websites and it's so easy! I recently used www.agoda.com to book my hotel in Bangkok and my booking was so. Unbelievably. Easy. I didn't even have to pay for anything at the hotel itself. It almost felt free..... Almost.
