5 Smart Tips for Shopping Online

April 7, 2021

5 Smart Tips for Shopping Online | Style & Life by Susana

Shopping online is so convenient, and due to the Coronavirus pandemic, online sales have skyrocketed. You may sometimes realize that you end up making bad purchases or buying things you do not need.

No matter why you shop online, it would be best to take some precautions to avoid creating unnecessary purchases or paying more than you have to. Here are some smart tips to guide you when shopping online:

5 Smart Tips for Shopping Online | Style & Life by Susana

Always Read Reviews

Reviews are like the word-of-mouth of the internet, and they cover almost everything. You can always find a review for a product or service that you want.

Mind you, there are a lot of reviews, but the key is to find credible sources. For instance, before you welcome a new dog into your home, check online reviews for reputable local breeders.

Also, consider using a pet transport service that provides quality service with cheaper pricing to ensure your pet’s safe arrival. Retailers will often fake reviews to boost their products or services. So stick to reviews from industry-trusted experts only.

Suspend the Cart

Often, when you receive your stuff, you will realize that you may have made some purchases that are not necessary. This online shopping habit stems from the promotional ads posted on websites designed to make you feel like you must have them.

But adding things to your cart and suspending it for a couple of days will give you enough time to decide if you need some of the items and only make the essential purchases.

Lookout for Return Policies

You should seriously consider return policies before making a purchase online. There are several reasons for returning a product, most of which are valid. But some online retailers make it difficult for customers to return purchases, and that can be frustrating. Before making a purchase, you should consider if the retailer allows returns.

Also, find out if you will be charged for the returns and how long you have till the option to return becomes invalid. Another important thing to find out is if you will get a refund for the item returned or get store credit.

5 Smart Tips for Shopping Online 1

Make Use of e-Coupons & Price Comparisons

Shopping online affords you the freedom to quickly compare prices from competing retailers. This will provide you with enough information to decide on which retailer to purchase from. In a bid to outdo each other, retailers often give out coupon codes to enable you to buy items at a lower price.

 

Create and Stick to a Budget

Shopping online without a budget can be risky. You could end up spending way more than you need to. So before adding things to the cart, you should have a fixed budget for your expenses.

Remember to stick to the budget and work your way around the items you want to purchase so that they fit into it.

Shopping online is fun and convenient, but you must reel yourself in when making purchases so that you do not go overboard. So before you begin shopping online, try to plan and stick to only essential purchases.

This product has replaced my rosehip oil in my nig This product has replaced my rosehip oil in my nightly routine. I absolutely love it!! It’s like a super charged oil serum that is so rich & luxurious to apply. A small amount goes a long way. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone who is looking for an ‘all in one’ nightly serum. It's a game changer ❤️ @thinlizzybeauty #tlsquad #newobsession #skincareblogger #skincarejunkie #skincareessentials #skincareroutine #thinlizzy #gifted #prgifted
#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.  It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love.  And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me.
