I create customer accounts and log in instead of using guest checkout. I get free shipping, loyalty coupons, sale codes, and dollar spends. One place has been sending 25% coupons which works on their sale items (Bloomingdale’s if any Americans are reading) and another place, Kohl’s, gives out good dollar rewards. I also keep a list of online stores that I go to check and compare prices on home wares before checking out. Things like coffee, I don’t buy at McDonald’s or Starbucks. I have a 1.87 lb of McCafé breakfast blend that I bought on Amazon for $8. Starbucks sells their syrups in store as well. I rarely buy takeaway which can get so expensive between delivery costs and tips. Instead, I keep things like a frozen pizza stashed away or a frozen mac & cheese.
