Being in India we come across discounts and sales of various E-commerce sites in our country. Often we get no benefit from these sales due to various reasons. Here is a small guide on how to deal with the Online Sales or Discounts in an effective manner so that you can make the best out of it.

1. Be prepared and clear about the things you'd like to buy !

Have something like a to-do list. Instead of browsing through the entire product range aimlessly, have certain things in your mind before you start browsing the shopping site. Think and plan about anything that you need or would need in the near future. This can help you out of the mess that is created due to large volume of products available. This will save time as well as the money you spend on ordering random products. But make sure you don't miss some great deals that are running too. You can rely on pages like Deals4You on Facebook. They usually post the best deals happening around in various shopping sites.

2. Create a wishlist on the shopping site !
Most people are unaware about the wishlist option available in most of the E-commerce sites. Adding items to your wishlist is like having your eyes glues onto a product. You can easily know the price of the product you are interested in. You don't have to go through the tedious job of searching and finding the item each time you log in. Your wishlist has it all. Saves time + Makes your job easier.

3. Try to get into the site before the sale begins !

Most of our e-commerce sites run out of bandwidth during sales and peak hours. To avoid this hit back, get into the site a bit earlier. Even though this sounds ridiculous without any scientific backing, it is experienced that the people who are already in a bandwidth limited site would be able to continue to use the site flawlessly while the new entries cant. Try it next time, might turn out to be worth it.

4. Compare before you buy !

Sales or discounts doesn't guarantee you the best price in the market. Before you order an item compare the product's price on other websites too. Often there are chances of finding the same product cheaper on a site without any offers running. It's sometimes a matter of luck.

5. Read about all the available deals running !

Sometimes you might be eligible for some extra discounts for using a particular bank's card or if you are a student. Or maybe something that you haven't imagines in your wildest dreams. So go through all the offers that are running on the particular site you are going to purchase from.
