Many people who do their shopping online find the things they want to buy, put them in their online shopping cart, go to the checkout and pay. The thought of using a coupon before ordering online does not cross their mind for an instant.

Using coupons with all your online shopping, however, is a smart thing to do. Especially as it can save you several hundred or thousand dollars a year. Depending on what you buy and how much you spend.

Here are just five reasons why using a coupon before ordering online is smart.

Percentage of the amount you are spending — Some coupons that you can find online on sites like كوبون شي ان give you a specific percentage off the price of the item or items you are buying. As these percentage coupons can go up to 50 percent, depending on the time of year and what you are buying, they can save you quite a large amount of cash.

Coupons for every item you buy — While some coupons will give you a discount on one specific item in your shopping cart, others can be applied to every thing you buy from one supplier.

That means you could end up saving 20 percent off everything you buy, or even more depending on the time of year.

Cheap or free shipping with the right coupon — Coupons are not only available for money off the price of the items in your shopping cart, they are also available for shipping.

That means you could get a large number of products shipped to your home for a very low price or, in some cases, have everything shipped to you completely free of charge. As shipping costs can be expensive, some of these free shipping coupons save you more money than anything else.

Coupons that give you a free gift — These are actually quite common when shopping on the Internet. You just have to find them and use them.

Coupons that give you a free gift for buying a specific product will usually give you something that is related to it. For instance, you could buy a printer and get three months’ supply of paper, or you could buy a laptop and get a free wireless mouse.

Just make sure the free gift you are getting is something you would use before applying the coupon. Otherwise you might as well use a coupon offering free shipping or a cash discount instead.

 

Coupons for future purchases — If you use a coupon for an order you are placing now, some companies will deduct the amount from your total bill and then give you another coupon to use next time you shop with them.

If you find an online merchant that does this often, you could end up getting a sizable discount at that particular shop every time you place an order there.
