Online shops deliver products to most of the Indian cities today. We prefer to buy even everyday essentials online as they are available at a lower price when compared to our nearby retailer. Moreover, we don’t have to go to the shop to buy the product as the product itself will reach our home within a few days. All we need to do is some planning as we have to wait for at least a couple of days before the product could reach us. If you are even smart you can easily get your product for a lower price. Here are a few tips for you to find better deals online.

1. Bank accounts

Many of the big online stores offer up to a 10 percent discount for a particular bank’s debit cards. Do we need to open an account on all banks in India? No, not really! If you analyze all these bank-specific offers you might find that you could avail most of the offers if you have an account with four banks – HDFC, Axis, SBI, and ICICI. If don’t want multiple bank accounts encourage your friends or family members to open accounts in the banks you don’t have accounts. In that way, you can exchange debit/ credit card numbers to avail of these offers. If you are a frequent Flipkart buyer consider getting an Axis Buzz credit card to get a regular discount.

2. Get free shipping

If you regularly make purchases through Flipkart you must be a Flipkart Plus Member as it available once you earn “200 coins”. The coins can be collected thorough making frequent purchases through the website. If you make most of the purchases through Amazon, never hesitate to subscribe for Prime membership. Apart from free shipping, it offers various other benefits like early access to offers, video, and music streaming, etc.,

3. Wait for offer days

If you can afford to wait do shopping on big sale days like “Big Billion Days” on Flipkart and “Big Shopping Days” on Amazon. When Amazon and Flipkart run sales, other websites also offer products at a lower price to attract buyers. Planning is a must for this. Most of these offer days come around Diwali and New Year. If you are looking to purchase digital products on International websites like GoDaddy or Hostgator, do it on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

4. Compare and buy

Before making a purchase the buyer should compare the price of the product on at least four websites. My choice would be Flipkart, Amazon, Paytmmall, and Snapdeal. For clothing replace Paytmmall and Snapdeal with Jabong.com and Myntra.com. Many a time I found good deals at unexpected web stores. So never stop with Flipkart and Amazon. Online deals websites can also help you compare and get your product at the right place.

You can search the products on deals aggregator websites to see whether a price deal is available for your product. Some users reported using incognito mode in Chrome helps find products at a lower price.
