Before committing to an online purchase, be sure to do some research on the product you wish to buy. There are thousands of sites out there that may carry what you are looking for at different prices. Do some comparison shopping, or even do a search on Ebay, or Froogle.com, to see if your item is available, and where you can get the best price.

Put a password on your smartphone and tablet devices. Many people do not realize that their smartphone or tablet stores their credit card information on the phone. If your smartphone or tablet is stolen, thieves will be able to see your personal information and credit card information. By putting a password on your device, you can help protect yourself.

Whenever you are shopping online, never use your personal or business email when making purchases. This can cause your accounts to get clogged with spam emails. Use an online shopping email account instead. This way, you will avoid clutter in your inbox and still get emails about your orders.

Never make your final purchase without searching for coupon or promo codes. It takes just a few seconds to enter the store’s name and the words “coupon code” into a search engine. More often than not, you should be able to find coupon codes for a percentage off of your order, free shipping, or a fixed amount off of a large purchase.
