From January sales to "Black Friday"

Hard-wearing shopaholics know that large purchases should be made during the period from Black Friday (November), to the Chinese New Year (January-February). Does this mean that during a discount lull should you limit shopping or give it up completely? We answer - no! For economical purchases it is enough just to arm ourselves with our advice.

Shopping on weekends and holidays

Without any doubt, the main enemies of the family budget are impulsive purchases. Purchased under the influence of the momentum of goods, as a rule, either dust on the mezzanines or transmitted. Apparently, it's not for nothing that psychologists advise you to go shopping with a list of purchases made in advance.

Competent consumers have long noticed that online stores offer relatively high discounts at the weekend, when the attendance of Internet pages naturally decreases. According to the archive of discounts of a fairly large online store "Kant", most of the weekend sales extend to the entire range, which saves up to 30% of the original price of the goods. A similar trend is observed in online stores "Sportmaster" and Nike.

In addition to Saturdays and Sundays, do not forget about the holidays . Most online stores hold special promotions timed to this or that holiday, and offer their customers not only significant discounts, but also gifts, as well as additional services, such as free courier delivery.

Chinese shops

To save some, some buyers resort to shopping in Chinese online stores, where you can buy everything - clothes, cosmetics, electronics, household appliances, household goods, etc. Aliexpress and Gearbest are also very popular among Russians. new stores, such as JD and DHgate. The main advantage of these stores are permanent sales and high discounts on coupons. Nevertheless, purchases in Chinese stores have a number of drawbacks. One of them is the time of delivery. You can go to Russia for up to 3 months. Equally important is the difficulty with the implementation of warranty repairs. As a rule, sellers provide a guarantee for a year or two, but you can send the goods for repair only at your own expense.

Thematic sales

Not every buyer is ready for several months to wait for his parcel from China, and domestic online stores provide an opportunity to make thrifty purchases during thematic promotions. Most often, such actions are timed to an important event, for example, to the Day of Knowledge or the International Women's Day. So, before the beginning of September in the online store "Chita-city" you can buy educational materials or stationery at an attractive price, and on March 8, buy perfume or cosmetics for half the price! We advise you to add to the bookmark pages devoted to promo actions in the "Chita-city" and "Il de Bote", or subscribe to the official e-mail distribution of stores, so as not to miss the most profitable offers. Also, we recommend that you visit the online stores on February 14, the Day of Russia and other holidays.

Liquidation of a warehouse

These promotions are characterized by their cyclical nature. Liquidation of the warehouse we can meet not only in online clothing stores (wildberries.ru, dochkisinochki.ru), but also in household appliances stores. If, when buying clothes and shoes, the buyer often pays attention to the novelty of the model and its relevance in the new season, then when buying expensive equipment that will last several years, these qualities go to the background. Liquidation of the warehouse is regularly carried out by Eldorado and M.Video, while in the latter some promotional products are being redeemed for an additional discount, thanks to which you can save up to several thousand rubles.

Loyalty programs

In the case of some online stores and services, you should also pay attention to loyalty programs that can bring tangible benefits. For example, in the delivery service Delivery Club for every 100 rubles spent. you get 10 bonus points, which you can pay off when ordering pizza, rolls or other favorite dishes. In addition, using promotional codes for a discount, you can save up to 500 rubles! Current promotional codes of "Deliveri Club" are always available on the special page of the coupon platform Picodi.com.

It will be fair to note that purchases under the loyalty program in some cases may prove to be unprofitable, for example, in the event that stock discounts are not added up. Here you should analyze what is more advantageous - get a discount on the loyalty program, say, at a rate of - 10%, or use the promotional code for all customers, but for a larger discount - 15%.

It turns out that thrifty shopping is possible throughout the year, it is enough only to thoroughly study the range and not be lazy to spend time looking for a promotional code for an additional discount. Nevertheless, with large-scale purchases it is still recommended to wait until the "hot season" - Black Friday, Cyber ​​Monday and Chinese New Year.
