Fast and Easy Paperless Options for Busy Shoppers
Saving money is a way of life for many of us as we try and balance the household budget and regardless of whether you are trying to cut costs where possible or just want to pay as little as possible for things, it is now easier than ever before to save money.
There are numerous email offers around on a daily basis and that means that although you can still cut out coupons from a magazine, you can also find plenty of paperless options that make life easy for busy shoppers.
Coupons are for everyone
The days where people were a bit embarrassed to be seen using a coupon to get money off an item are well and truly over.
Despite the fact that some might still have a perception that producing a stack of coupons at the checkout is not something they would really want to be seen doing, they seem to do it anyway and you might be surprised to learn that the most prolific coupons users according to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, are shoppers who enjoy a six-figure income.
Easy way to save
Shoppers are used to seeing promotions from Bed bath & Beyond and other savvy retailers who know the way to a consumer’s heart is by offering them a good deal.
Electronically-generated coupons and coupon apps on your smartphone mean that any perceived embarrassment at presenting your coupons that you have carefully cut out, is avoided at the checkout, although the truth is that no one really cares about that anymore and moneysaving coupons and deals are part of the new shopping experience.
So if you are looking for promotions from Bed Bath & Beyond or anywhere else where you have seen something you want and are keen to get a deal, searching online is a good strategy.
Smartphone apps
There are plenty of us who are connected to the internet and do our shopping via our smartphone, so it makes perfect sense to search out some moneysaving apps and loyalty cards.
Most of these apps allow you to present a barcode that is on your smartphone, which you can show at the checkout. The cashier will simply scan the barcode printed on your screen and apply the discount.
This means you get the discount without holding any queues up and often one barcode means you get multiple discounts across a range of items, so it dispenses with the need for a stack of coupons.
Get money back
Another popular tactic these days is to sign up for rebates, so you get cash back into your bank for goods you buy.
Many retailers sign up to these schemes and you can log your purchases online and claim back some money in the comfort of your own home, without ever having to cut out a coupon in the first place.
Electronic coupons, cash back deals and rebate apps are just some of the ways that shoppers can bag a bargain and let’s be honest about it, everyone is doing it.
