There is nothing illegal with what we’re going to teach you here, but there might be some ethical considerations if you are sensitive about bending those a little. But rest assured that these tricks will usually work and they are effective in getting discounts and promo codes when Tampa shopping.
Automate your coupons
Download an extension that would automatically search the web for coupons and download that coupon. When you have to check out something from your Amazon basket, for example, the extension would automatically apply the codes needed for a discount.
While you’re at it, make sure you’re also activating price alerts, price comparison tools, and newsletters. All of these will keep you up-to-date on all the products you want to buy.
Use your aunt’s number at the grocery store
Do you have an aunt who constantly calls you to chat about all the family members? Maybe she’s bored with retirement? Have a little revenge on her and give her someone to talk to by giving her number to the grocery store cashier.
In exchange for her number, you’ll get a discount for the groceries. Of course, you can always give your real number but that would mean having to deal with telemarketers all-day-long, too.
Abandon your cart or click cancel
Abandoning your online shopping cart for a day or two could result in coupons and discounts. When stores like Home Depot, Zappos, Best Buy, and even Levis realize that you want to buy something but can’t afford it for now, they would send out a coupon to your email for that exact item you want.
It’s an amazing trick that works for money online stores. When it comes to subscriptions, you can also click the cancel button to get a better deal. Netflix, Hulu, and PlayStation Store will offer you a good deal even before you exit the browser.
Use your old student ID
If you have just finished school and you still have your .EDU email address and student ID, you may want to take advantage of student discounts. Most schools will cancel the email address if you did not enroll within the next two semesters, but for the next year after school closes, you can use it to get discounts on everything—even on laptops and gadgets.
Buy cheap gift cards
Many people who received gift cards for certain stores like Amazon, Best Buy, and Barnes and Noble have no use for them and will sell them for less in online forums and social media. Look for these gift cards and pay less than their listed value.
