(#3) Leave An Item In Your Cart
Not entirely sure if you want to purchase an item in your cart? This might seem counterintuitive, but just leave it there and wait a while. Within a couple of days, the retailer may offer you a discount code for the item.
It doesn't always work, but it's worth a shot - especially if it's an expensive product or something you're truly on the fence about purchasing.
-
(#2) Check For Coupons
In the same way you would clip coupons and use them in your favorite brick-and-mortar stores, clip virtual coupons for online retailers. The internet is brimming with coupon storehouses - sites that collect thousands of virtual coupons and discount codes to be used online.
RetailMeNot and Coupons.com are two of the biggest. Also, check the specific sites of your favorite retailers for coupons or discount codes.
-
(#12) Google For Discounts
Just as most of us turn to Google for answers to life's questions large and small, you should also use Google to search for discounts when shopping for a specific product or buying from a specific retailer.
Also, Google sometimes offers discounts to shoppers using Google Store or buying Google-branded merchandise.

(#14) Sign Up For Newsletters
Product manufacturers and retailers usually offer newsletters to interested customers. They're free, and often provide the first notice of upcoming sales or deals. For even more savings, "best-of" newsletters scour the internet for the best bargains and curate the cream of the crop in daily emails.
DealNews Select and RedFlagDeals (for stores based in Canada) are among the most popular newsletters.

(#6) Shop On Wednesdays, Thursdays, And Fridays
The day of the week you choose to do your online shopping can have a direct impact on how much money you save. Many companies offer discounts or sales on Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays, so make these your preferred shopping days.
One exception is shopping for airfare; Tuesday afternoons tend to have the best deals for cheap flights.
-
(#13) Ask For Promo Codes Via Online Chat
Many major retailers and product manufacturers have an online chat option on their websites. Most people skip over this potential opportunity for a discount. Initiating the chat, which connects you with a live person, and simply requesting a coupon or discount code often yields results.
Stores with a good track record of giving customers bargains via online chat include American Eagle, Bass Pro Shops, Home Depot, and L.L. Bean. Be courteous, and always express your appreciation for the company's products and services (a little buttering-up never hurts).
