Running a busy household with growing children can take up a lot of time and energy. So if there are ever ways to save time and to not add more busy things to the agenda, then you’d want to be doing it, right? For many parents, shopping online is the way to do all that. They can save time as they don’t have to go from store to store, and it will save stress and busyness, as you don’t have to take the children along with you. So why aren’t more and more people doing it? Here are some of the many ways that shopping online can help to save you time and keep you sane.

You will save more money
I’m not sure if it is because brands want you to be using their website, but there are often more ways to save money online than you would if you shopped in the same brand’s store. There are incentives for money off for purchases, as well as discounts when you sign up to their mailing list. Often there will be free delivery when you spend over a certain amount on the website, which is going to mean paying less than you would if you’d bought the same things but had to drive and park. So there are many ways to pay less when you shop online. And who doesn’t want to save money when shopping?

You can even get cash back!
That’s right; you can save even more money when you shop online, by looking around on other websites. So as well as exclusive discount codes from the brand’s own website as above, you can look for more money on other sites like cashback sites like www.quidco.com or couponing sites, similar to www.dontpayfull.com. So in many instances, you can get a discount off the price but also get a certain percentage back after the purchase as cash back. It might mean taking slightly more time to see what the best deals are, but it can end up being totally worth it.

You have more protection when you shop online
As long as you use a credit card to make any purchases, you are actually going to be covered better doing that and shopping online, than you would be in a store. First of all, you can claim against the credit card company if something never arrives. So in the rare chance that you order something and it is never delivered, you can claim back. It is something that all credit cards offer, and that debit cards don’t. It is also protection against fraudulent purchases, so if you have worries about entering your card details online, you have that protection. A lot of credit cards also offer their own warranty protection too. So if you’re buying things like tech goods online, then it could be offering you extra coverage if it gets damaged in transit, or after it has arrived. So as you can see, there are plenty of reasons to do your shopping online!

  2. I love shopping online, especially when it comes to sneakers. Most of the styles that I want are not available in stores here in the Philippines, so I almost always resort to online shopping. I especially love the deals and discounts I get whenever I shop on holidays (hello, Black Friday sale!).

  3. I got addicted to online shopping before I got pregnant. However, I learned not to buy my clothes online because of sizing issues. I enjoy online shopping especially when I am looking for cute items for gifts. Nowadays, I shop online for my son's diapers because of the big price difference compared to getting it from the supermarkets. :)

  5. Online shopping is LOVE. Although there are times when I do get disappointed because the delivered to me was not as nice as the photo. But still, shopping is shopping, offline or online. ;)

  6. I've been loving online shopping ever since I realized how more affordable the items were. Especially when I learned about online grocery, although I think they are still working on getting the service available to a wider audience

  7. To be honest I haven't tried shopping online.I want the feel of products and scared of getting sizes all wrong. Maybe one of these days, I could try doing so. Online shopping is so convenient too.

  8. I love shopping online because it's very convenient. You won't need to leave the house for things you need. The only thing I love shopping for offline is clothes because I want to be able to try them personally and see if it fits before buying it.
