I love a good deal…especially when the deal involves an item you’re purchasing anyway! Today I want to share with you my tips on saving money on fashion/beauty purchases. All four tips are things I do every time I shop online!
♥Tip #1: Earn Cashback with Ebates.
Ebates is a website I’ve been using for almost 3 years and over that time I’ve saved exactly $952.70. Yes, you heard that correctly, almost one grand for shopping. The items I purchased were all things I was going to buy anyway whether Ebates existed or not. Think about how much money you are missing out on saving!! Crazy, right?!
What Is Ebates & How Does It Work?!
Ebates is a cash back shopping website. They have tons of stores: Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Sephora… the list goes on & on… When you go through this site you get a certain percentage back when clicking the store through Ebates.com. Cash back is usually about 4% to 10%. Sometimes you can even get 15%!!! So that means you can get cash back on Louboutins, Valentino, Chanel makeup…things that would never go on sale! The numbers fluctuate day to day.
Get cashback in 2 easy steps!
First, make an account at this link here (absolutely freeee!) Then, next time you would like to make a purchase at any store, search it on Ebates.com and click “Shop Now” and it takes you directly to their site. That’s it!!
If anyone is interested, you can check out the site or sign up here! And today only, they are doing a double cash back promo!
♥Tip #2: Buy beauty only certain times of the year.
Purchase your beauty items at Sephora or Ulta during their 20% off sale periods. Sephora only does this twice a year (November & April) so stock up then on all your basics! I really never purchase my essentials at any other time. This saves me a lot.
♥Tip #3: Do a quick Google search before checking out.
Another thing I always do before I check out is go on Retail Me Not to see if there is a coupon code for anything you are purchasing. Sometimes I’ve saved a significant amount by taking an extra minute to do this!
♥Tip #4: Sign up for emails & save!
Whenever you are looking to make a larger purchase at an online store, sign up for emails and most places offer a welcome discount. Neimans, Bloomies, and Saks (to name a few) have a welcome offer of about 10%-15%! Usually you can sign up all the way at the bottom of the website. {Extra tip: Make a separate email account for fashion newsletters, store promos, etc. so it won’t clog up your regular email account!}
