Many people shop online, but few use online promotional and coupon codes. Either online shoppers are unaware that these money saving coupons exist, or they don’t know how to find them.
Last Monday I decided to buy Medieval Times tickets for my family of five. I went to the Medieval Times website, entered in our information, and was stunned to see that tickets would be almost $300! I did find a few coupon codes on the Medieval Times website, but they only brought my total down to about $200. I opened a new internet search page, typed in “Medieval Times coupon codes” and up popped several results. In about 3 minutes I was able to find a code that was good for buy 1 get 1 free tickets. By entering in the promo code my total came down to $107 including all taxes and fees. In five minutes total I saved myself almost $200, or around 60% of the ticket costs.
Whether you call them promo codes, discount codes, or coupon codes, these money saving codes are available for almost every shopping site you can think of. You may find them on the site you are shopping on at the top of the screen, as a pop up, or on a special sale page. There are also many promo code websites that keep a running list of codes for stores. Some sites will have five, ten, or even fifteen codes for a single site.
What can these promo codes get you? Each code is different, but the most common benefits are:
- Free shipping
- 10, 15, 20, or 25% off
- Buy 1 Get 1 Free items
- Free gifts with purchase
- Dollar amount savings such as $5 off, or $5 off of $50
You may have several to choose from, but pick the code that would save you the most. What happens if the code does not work? Sometimes you enter a code and nothing happens. That’s ok, just try another!
Before you check out on any website, always take a minute or two to search for a promo code. $5 may not seem like much of a savings, but if you saved $5 or got free shipping on every online purchase you made your savings would really add up!
