Cost-Effective Online Shopping

In the following guide, we’ll look at the best ways you can save money while shopping online!




For one, you may be interested in signing up directly to your favorite brands or stores online. As a member, you’ll often be applicable to special discounts and other advantages to save on costs. With or without membership, many brand/store sites offer special cost advantages. For instance, Misguided provides 50% off once you sign up to their site and Calvin Klein offers free delivery on sales of 2 items or more!

In addition, Next USA offers cost-saving advantages like free shipping, flexible payment methods and easy & quick returns. The only real downside here is that some of these discounts have conditions such as ‘you must be a student’ or ‘you must spend X amount of money to avail of a price reduction’. 

If you are looking to save on costs in the short run, you should consider online catalogues with credit accounts. Effectively, you can obtain small loans with these accounts. The money won’t go to your bank account but it will be credited into your user account associated with the company/brand website. Then, you can pay off this amount with an interest rate over time. 

It won’t save you money overall but if you’re looking to buy something ASAP but don’t have the money to splash out right now, online catalogues are the perfect solution! 

Plenty of online-only retailers have many similar advantages to brand sites and some sell clothes at a lower price than the usual retail price. Some great places to find cheap clothing items are Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, eBay and Rebelle. 

Regardless of if you’re looking for new or second-hand clothes, you’ll find many low-cost items on these sites! Of course second-hand clothes might not be up to the same standard as new clothes but it really depends on your purchase and who you buy from. 

In addition, you can also find many vintage stores online too. Try Googling for Vintage stores online and take a look around. You might come across stores like Depop, ThredUP and The Break.

The same is true of discount stores. Vintage and discount stores may not be for you but if they are, you should definitely look into their online stores! 

Another way to look for cheaper clothing items is by watching out for any temporary discounts. You should consider liking/following the social media pages of several stores and brands of your choice. This way, you’ll be among the first to know if a new sale is about to begin or has just begun!
