Advantages of Using Online Coupons for Shopping

Advantages of Using Online Coupons for Shopping

For people who have a hectic work schedule and have a long working hours, shopping can be a difficult thing to do, however, with the emergency of a plethora of online stores, shopping has become easy and quick. The online stores not only help you save time but also help you save a lot of money. However, the secret to saving money is knowing how to use the online coupon codes.

Just like the printed coupons that you find on the coupon magazines or the local classifieds, the online coupons can be used to get a discount or rebate on the things that you purchase from the online stores. In the recent times, the online shopping coupons have become a huge hit; they have completely changed the way people shop online these days. If you have no prior experience using the coupon codes, read on to know how you can save money with these coupons:

First and foremost you need to find the coupons online. If you have already made your decision about buying the product from a particular store, you can simple Google the terms (Store name) online coupons. For instance, if you want to a buy a dress or shoes from jabong, you can search for Jabong coupons and you will find a full list of coupons that is available at that particular point of time.

One of the important things to know is that the online coupons are of two types. One is the discount coupons, which allows you to buy a particular item at 30% or 50% discount and the other type is the complimentary coupon, which allows you to get free items on purchase of a particular product or on the purchase of goods for a certain amount. To avoid any confusion while you redeem the coupon code make sure that you choose the right product.

Although a large number of online shoppers today use the discount coupons while shopping, major of them tend to ignore the validity date the coupon. You must know that each and every coupon comes with a certain validity date and if it is not used within the validity period you would not get any discount. Therefore while looking for a discount coupon it is important to check its validity period before using the code while shopping. Typically, most of the online stores, regularly update their coupons and remove the ones that have expired. If you have subscribed for the newsletter service of a certain online store, you can be rest assured of getting the latest coupons through e-mail.

To save money on your online shopping it is advisable that you prepare a list of the things that you wish to buy and then decide which products are your urgent needs and which are the ones that you can afford to buy on a later date. Online shoppers suggest that by doing this, they can save up to 50% more money.

Thus there are many advantages of using coupon codes while shopping online so if you are keen to avail these benefits change your regular shopping habit and get the online coupons and keep saving every time you purchase online.

Editor’s note: Do you shop a lot online? Use coupon codes? I always do and have saved a lot of bucks 😀

A very Denim Story/Hi, how do you Denim?

A very Denim Story/Hi, how do you Denim?

Note: There is a Secret Message for all Denim lovers at the end of this article.

Denims, more specifically, jeans, have taken over the clothing industry faster than any other garment has and are as widely embraced, worn and loved the world over. The classic symbol of the American West is now a staple in wardrobes around the world. From a waiter at a restaurant, to the most influential people in the world, everybody has jeans as an important part of their wardrobe.

Have you ever wondered why jeans are so popular?

The main reason for their popularity among the people was not only because of the different ways they are worn, but the different and particular styles in which they ‘wear’. The way jeans wear off over time or the way the “age” says a lot about the person wearing them. They have become a common representative for anyone and everyone’s unique personality. Durable, comfortable and yet stylish enough to always be a part of the latest trends, Jeans are forever.

Denim Over the years

The 70’s
This decade in particular was also popularly known as the “hippie age”. Embroidery, bright colors, stonewash, rhinestones and patches were just some of the jean trends of the time.

The 80’s

This decade is when designer denim was truly born. Designer jeans became a true status symbol. Stonewash, acid wash and ripped jeans were some of the most popular looks, along with skinny leg cuts that were tapered at the ankle

The 90’s

Carpenter jeans and Baggy Jeans were among the most trendy looks, as well as overalls, which were popular among women.

The 2000s

In the early 2000s, with the rise of pop culture denim also became a fashion staple once again, becoming an appropriate item of clothing to wear out on a Friday night or even to the office. A lot of new styles like skinny jeans and Straight cuts began to trend in a very strong manner.

Trending Today
Bell bottoms and Hip huggers are all set to make a remarkable comeback in the spring of 2015. It looks like the 70’s denim culture is ready to spring back to life. We all love our retro side and we know how to pull off the look as well!

Earn while you Shop at BonusBay

Earn while you Shop at BonusBay

Online Shopping is IN now. I recently got married and rented out a new place. Shooped online for TV, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, apparel, household goods, fans, other small electronics & stuff.

I got the best products at the best prices.

But off late, I realised that those were not the best prices. Apparently, there are websites that act as a shopping website aggregator for shoppers, i.e. they lead shoppers to online marketplaces like Amazon, Snapdeal, Flipkart and manage to get commissions from these websites as customer referral fees. One such website is www.bonusbay.in

Now why should we go through these websites if I want to buy something from Amazon?

Well, here is the “Best price surprise” part. These websites share their customer referral fees with people like you and me, who shop on the Amazons of the world via their websites.

Let me explain in four easy steps
a) Create a login account at www.bonusbay.in (Or use your facebook account for the same)

b) Go to amazon.in through the above newly created login account. You can also check out the commission you are bound to receive (So, apart from the prices on the websites, you should also calculate the commissions and figure out the net cost. Finally, some use of my accounting/commerce degree). I also checked prices of the same product from direct websites and the prices remain the same. Please comment below if you have found it otherwise for any of the products.

c) Shop like you normally do.
d) There is no step 4. You will get your bonuses in the form of bonusbay points/bonus within a couple of months. Once the bonuses hit 1,000, you can also transfer the same to your bank account. So stop reading this post and go HERE  to avail INR 100 welcome bonus. 🙂

This whole thing reminds me of credit card cash back and reward points stuff. Except that credit cards are much more stingy – 1 reward point for 100 shopping bucks, which translates into just 0.30 paise in my bank. 🙁

P.S: Sponsored Post

Disclaimer: I accept no liability or responsibility in case of any technical issue with credit of bonus to your account by bonusbay. Please read all terms and policies of bonusbay carefully @ http://www.bonusbay.in/information/frequently-asked-questions.

The heels are 6 inches 😀 I am glad there is platform of 2 inches which makes them comfortable and also they are very light weight.

I love the nude color, strappy design and the tassels behind.

Also the gown has this nice silver detailing on the neck and front, but its not over the top. I wore this diamond in rose gold set along with it and some pearl + diamante bracelets.

5 Simple Tips That Can Make Online Saree Shopping Easy and Fun

5 Simple Tips That Can Make Online Saree Shopping Easy and Fun

Guest Post

Going Saree Shopping? Wait a minute. Have you decided on the type of saree you would want to pick? If yes, it is within your budget? And above all, where are you planning to buy it from? Answer all of these questions and you still have a few more at the back of your mind.

Online Saree shopping can make things a lot easier. With an extensive range of Sarees in store, you are most likely to end up with one that you have been looking for. Online stores are also known to offer heavy discounts throughout the year.

However, if you have never shopped online before, things might seem a bit tough. Here are 5 simple tips that can make online Saree Shopping Easy and Fun.

Compare them all
Go to Google and simply type in, “Best Online Saree Store”. You will be left with innumerable options to choose from. A slight comparison can help you pick the right one. This is when online testimonials can largely supplement your research.

Browse till you get it
Once you have chosen an online store, it’s time to browse through the collection. It may take a few minutes, or may be an hour if there’s something too precise you are looking for. But, that’s ok. After all, you would not like to pick something that’s not on your list, would you?

Discounts make you happy
Find out if the Saree you have chosen is eligible for a discount. Some online Saree stores let you apply a specific discount coupon code to every purchase you make. Interestingly, a few discounts are capable of saving you up to 40% on your total purchase value, which is truly amazing. While checking out, you will be prompted to use coupon codes, in case you have any. If you do, simply enter them in the space provided, and the discount will be applied to the final cost.

Use your credit card, why not?
Those not fully aware of the online transaction mechanism are of the opinion that online payments are risky. Well, not so. Online stores have highly secured systems in place ensuring complete security of every transaction made over the network.

Don’t worry, get it replaced
If for some reason you are not quite satisfied with the delivered product, you can always apply for a refund. However, it is crucial that you do it within the refund period set by the store.
Online stores nowadays offer wide range of exclusive and designer sarees from leading fashion designers. Hence you have a plethora of collection to choose from. So, when you can shop online sitting right in your couch comfortably and at the same time surf various sites for your desired saree, why to drive miles and hunt for stores outside? However, you also save a huge amount of time and of course a lot more extra bucks. Indeed online Saree shopping was never so easy and fun.
