“Make sure you’re always comparing prices, you never know who’s offering a sale or a deal. Also, use coupon extensions like Cently. Cently automatically searches for coupons and applies the deal with the biggest discount to your order,” Woroch said.

You should also use loyalty programs at stores.

“Every time you’re done shopping you can earn more cashback by taking pictures of your receipts using the Fetch rewards app. you’ll get points, which are good towards free gift cards,” Woroch said.

Don’t always buy new. Many websites are offering refurbished products, or used clothing for a big bargain.
