In today’s inflationary times, it is always good to find out ways by which we can save money. If we save some money while shopping, it is even better. Online shopping allows you to do exactly that.

There are various online shopping sites relevant specifically to India which provide great discounts and offers which would definitely be exciting for customers. Branded clothes, accessories, toys can be bought at great prices by smart shoppers on sites like jabong.com and myntra.com. These sites are like our brick n wall retail stores with many brands under one roof. Recently when there was a huge sale in most of the malls, these online stores replicated the sale and offered more when the amount of purchase is above certain amount. Most of these sites also offer Cash on Delivery (COD) option which is a huge incentive for Indians to opt for online shopping. Today, there are hundreds of websites ready to deliver everything from mobiles to vegetables at your doorstep. This works out well for those who want to avoid crowded shops and traffic jams.

Great deals can be got at sites like Snapdeal and Flipkart. Snapdeal offers huge discounts on various products and services once you are a registered buyer. It does not have any conditions for free shipping and also has cash on delivery option. Flipkart is a great site to buy books and music and shipping is very fast.

ebay is like a marketplace where sellers are listed with their wares and the buyer can select the product that he wants to buy and from whom he wants to buy. You can get unique and interesting products here as well. The sellers are rated which is helpful to buyers. You might have to pay delivery charges in some cases and you have to choose the seller carefully whom you wish to purchase the product from.

If you are looking for more than just the discounts at online shopping sites, you can check out the coupon codes or deals at various coupon sites. These codes can be used in various shopping websites to avail better offers and discounts. A popular one is CouponRaja which offers coupons for numerous brands across sites like Flipkart, ebay, Yebhi etc. across product categories like books, furniture, digital products etc. They also have some ‘Cashback offers’ for customers.

Coupon codes India is another such site that has categorized its coupons neatly. It again has coupons for various brands across categories like hotels, flights, fast food etc. It also has ratings and reviews for coupons that it offers which can be useful to customers.

These sites can give you good bargains but you have to read the fine print carefully before using the code.

Financial products can also be bought online at lower prices. Many insurance companies offer products that can be bought directly from their website at much lower charges when compared to buying them from agents. Companies spend less on sales and marketing on these products and are able to pass some of this benefit to customers. There are also sites like http://www.bankbazaar.com where one can compare products and select the best one and buy. There are some special offers for customers who come via this site as well.

So, the next time you want to buy something, take a couple of minutes to decide on the best way to shop and then go ahead.

Happy Shopping!                                                                                                                                                                              #gettingyourich
