How to get the Lowest Price When Shopping Online

Let’s Talk about something everyone enjoys, saving money. We’ve come a long way since the pre-historic times of dinosaurs and clipping coupons in our Sunday papers. Sure, we may not have flying cars or rehydrators that turn tiny pizza pucks into steamy, cheesy goodness (we’re pretty upset about this too), but we have something just as rad; A Google Chrome extension that can stack coupons on top of already low, low prices! (Our coupon extension also works on Edge if that’s your browser of choice).

Most sales and clearance items are already super low due to the fact that they are out of season. A lot of brands need to clear their warehouse for the next generation of merchandise. That’s when the saving come to you! Even the biggest sale-hunting novice knows the best place to hunt is in the clearance section. FatCoupon has created a magical reality that slashes these super low priced items to their ultimate low.

Top Seven Tips For Saving Online

Retailers are aware the competition is steep with online shopping. They know you, the online shopper, have many options when it comes to where you choose to make your purchase. Retailers are eager to make that sale and give the most discounted offers to online shoppers.

1. Pick Up Your Purchase In-Store

If you do a lot of shopping online over the year, you can save BIG TIME by choosing to pick up your purchase in-store rather than having it shipped to you. It may not be as convenient, but those shipping costs can really add up over time.

1. Let Your Items Linger in Your Cart or on Your Wishlist

This goes back to what we were saying about the online retail market being extremely competitive. If you act like you are going to buy something and back out right before you make a purchase, you might be pleasantly surprised to find a promo code for that very item in your inbox the next day.

(Or you can download FatCoupon and let us find the promo codes for you…)

1. Become a Member of Loyalty Clubs and Sign Up For Email Lists - The last thing we all want is more emails, but in the world of online shopping, signing up for emails can offer some pretty incredible deals. Many retailers offer discounts and special offers only to their members. If you are a first-time buyer, especially be sure to sign up for an email lift before your purchase to get the best offer available. Pro Tip: No one likes trying to sort through work emails and promotional emails. Make an extra account just for shopping online. It’s a super-easy way to keep all those deals in one place.
2. Pick Your Shopping Day Wisely - The day you choose to make your purchase can make all the difference. Watch for price fluctuations and deals during different days of the week. Retailers will often drop prices on sale items during days of the week that trend toward lower traffic. Watch out for those big saving holidays too! Cyber Monday, Black Friday, and Green Monday are all great days to save on those big-ticket items as well as, well, pretty much anything. With FatCoupon on your side, you don’t even have to stand out in the frigid cold this Black Friday. The future is now and your laptop is your best shopping companion (besides us, obviously). Pro Tip: For all those travel-savvy savers out there, Tuesday is the cheapest day to fly and Sunday is usually the least expensive day to buy your ticket. Bon, voyage!
3. Socialize - If you don’t already follow your favorite brands on social media, you absolutely should. Some brands offer discounts just for new followers. It pays to pay attention. Often, retailers will announce flash sales on their social media platforms. Pro Tip: These flash sales are especially exciting for FatCoupon users. We stack coupons on top of those sweet clearance sales to make sure you are paying bottom dollar on the items you love.
4. Find Promo Codes with FatCoupon - This is a no-brainer. Hunting down coupon codes is a drag. While all of the above tips are totally helpful, nothing can save you more than your friendly neighborhood FatCoupon Chrome promo code plugin or iOS or Android app.

Why is FatCoupon the Best At Saving You Money?

At FatCoupon, we’re all about streamlining your shopping experience. So how do we do it? It’s simple; we’re just a bunch of coupon loving nerds. Back in the day, we would have been that crazy lady at the grocery store with a binder full of coupons under one arm and a cat under the other.

But seriously, our team works tirelessly around the clock to make sure you have the freshest deals. We love our jobs, and you get to reap the benefits! How cool is that?

The coolest part about all of this is that it is 100% risk-free! All you have to do is download our Chrome promo code extension and go shopping. We’ll just sit happily on your browser until you are ready to check out. Then it’s our time to shine!

FatCoupon is also available as an Android and iOS deal app. This app is truly something special because we are the only app of our kind that AUTOMATICALLY applies savings to your cart on the go. No other promo code app can say that. That means no matter where you are, we’re right there with you, ready to help you save the most money as effortlessly as possible!

Your Browser Can Make All The Difference

Big brother is real and he is watching you shop. No seriously, your browser is totally tracking your shopping and spending habits. The algorithms are in place to target your previously viewed products and sometimes to jack up prices. I’m sure you’ve noticed ads for items you’ve only ever thought about purchasing. Spooky...

How do we trick these mind-reading robots into giving us the best deals? Shopping in incognito mode can help a lot. Don’t forget to clear those cookies. They know too much and they aren’t even chocolate chip, which is upsetting on multiple levels.

Let’s Talk Deals.

FatCoupon has the hottest deals around. Gone are the days of trudging through endless coupon websites only to be disappointed time and time again by expiration dates. We take already super low prices and make them even lower!

We consistently offer an additional 50% off on Reebok sitewide, and that’s just the beginning. When you shop with FatCoupon, you unlock exclusive deals unique to us like 25% off Marc Jacobs Beaty sitewide, an extra 25% off Crocs that are already discounted up to 60%, and so so many more!

Back to Reeboks [Link to Reebok Article] for a minute, because we are OBSESSED with the brand. Remember those chunky sneakers you wore in the ’90s? We’re talking Harriet The Spy, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air chunky. They’re back in full force! While Reebok Aztreks are totally worth the $100 price tag, you can get some styles as low as $37.98*! We’re pretty sure you couldn’t even get Reeboks that cheap in the ’90s.

Why We’re Better Than the Rest

You may have heard of other promo code and cashback extensions like Retail Me Not, Honey, Wikibuy, and Rakuten. These guys try their best, but they simply cannot measure up to FatCoupon. Our deals are meticulously scavenged from all over the web by our staff 24/7/365.

We stack coupons on top of the lowest deals already available to ensure that you get the best prices available ANYWHERE. The other guys just can’t say that.

You’re reading this for a reason, and we’re guessing that reason is that you’re a savvy shopper who knows what they want and doesn’t want to overpay. At FatCoupon, we get it, and we are here to help.
