How to save money while shopping online

With Christmas just around the corner I’ve put together a list of tips I’ll be following to make the most of my spending over the festive season. This isn’t about cutting back but more about getting more value for your money!

Cash-back Programs
ShopBack and similar companies offer discounts just for accessing the store via their website. My trick is not to go looking just because there is a good deal - if I want to purchase something I find online I will then go to the website to see if they are an affiliated store.


Discount Codes
Many influencers have discount codes, especially for small businesses. Plus, adds-on like Honey will perform a search for you to find recently used codes. Shipping can be a killer so look for codes for this and consider if click and collect is worth your time.


Store Rewards Programs
Keep tabs on store rewards programs especially around your birthday. Recently I brought a watch that was originally $199 for $13.95. It went on sale for $99, I had $95 rewards so the balance and shipping was under 14 bucks!



Frequent flyer points
We’re not big flyers so I convert all my points into supermarket vouchers. I also collect points every grocery shop.



Credit Cards
I’m not a fan or advocate of credit cards but many people swear by the rewards programs companies offer. This is one to research based on your own spending habits, needs and willpower! 

There are so many ways to save money when making purchases you were going to make anyway. Be sure to comment your tips and tricks below!

Always seek professional advice for financial guidance.

    Online shopping has lot of advantages especially saving money as well as time. Apart from, I also prefer to use only shopping for getting discounted products as number of stores are offering for their customers on different events. Deals are one of the best way to save money. I normally prefer to use any deals comparison engine such as http://slickukdeals(.)com to get the best and discounted product at my doorstep. Anyways, thanks for your efforts.

Store Edit: Building a capsule wardrobe at Forever New

Welcome to my new series of blogs 'Store Edit' where I pull together my favourite pieces from my go-to stores. Forever New is always top of my list for timeless pieces that age well - in particular, I have about seven of their blazers on high rotation in closet. Also, if you've been here for more than five minutes you'd be well aware that I am a fan of a monochrome palette and a capsule wardrobe that works for you. A little black dress, versatile heels, structured blazer, neutral accessories and classic basics can make getting ready each day enjoyable rather than utter torture. Check out my edit of what I'm eyeing off for when the baby bump has departed!  Deena Lace Drape Midi Dress $159.99 Kiki Cage Clutch $59.99 Viviana Long-Sleeved Linen Shirt $79.99 Bella High-Rise Sculpting Jeans $89.99 Penelope Two-Part Court Heels $69.99 Aurelia 13" Laptop Bag $89.99 Ava Boyfriend Blazer $89.99 Please note: this is in no way sponsore...

How we got baby to sleep through the night* **

Back when all I could do was imagine her sleeping there.  *we have no freaking idea. This post gives no real advice and is not selling a sleep program. It is purely a recount of my experience so far. ** Daisy is sleeping through at the moment. She is not teething yet but she is about to enter a leap. We are by no means under the illusion that this is forever. Daisy sleeping through the night happened by accident. We just woke up one morning and realised that she hadn't woken up. Cue the diving out of bed to check she was still breathing. We stood at the cot and grinned at each other for a really long time. The next night it happened again. The third night, she woke us up. "But Daisy," I said, "you sleep through now,". She had a bottle and went back to sleep. We haven't really worked at setting a routine but fell into one anyway. She has a bath every night, a bottle and then is either rocked to sleep or placed into her cradle in our room awake but sl...

However, to get the best out of your time it is essential you do some planning. How are you going to get around?  Whether you have a few designated drivers or hire a bus it is vital you organise transport.
