Tips to Get the Best Deals from Discount Websites

Check The Expiration Date

Your chosen deal will only be valid for a set time, some are valid for a couple of months, while others may allow you to use them within a year. Make sure you're able to use/redeem your experience before it expires.

Ditch your Basket

If you're after something in particular, pop it in your basket and leave the site.  Cookies enable these websites to monitor your browsing patterns, what you're interested in and whether or not you left it in your basket. 

You usually find they will send you out a nice voucher code within the next day or two, to tempt you into finishing your purchase....which is of course what you wanted! 

Research The Deals

Sometimes, you can find the same experience across a number of deal websites at alternating prices. Do your research and check out them all to find the cheapest deal before you purchase.

Choose your Email wisely

These types of sites tend to spam the hell out of you once signed up, so ensure you either use an email that you don't mind being spammed or turn off notifications altogether - but remember, emails are great ways to get hold of Seasonal Picks.

Get even Bigger Discounts

Just because you're on a deal website, doesn't mean you can't make even bigger savings!

From using a Groupon Voucher Code or student discount, to taking advantage of their in-house refer a friend schemes, and always shopping via cashback sites you can get some serious savings on your already discounted deals.

Get The APP

Each of these discount sites offers users a free mobile app. APPs are a great way to search for deals, purchase, and redeem deals directly from your mobile device. APP users are usually privy to exclusive deals and Seasonal Picks as well. 

Check out the P&P

The Postage and Packaging prices on these types of deal sites seem to be quite high, usually, £5+ so make sure you take that into account before you purchase.  Particularly on goods, as 9 times out of 10, I have found the exact same products on eBay for the same price with free p&p.
