When you go on a shopping excursion to bricks and mortar stores do you do so with an eye to shopping the sales, getting bargains, attempting to get more stretch from your fashion budget dollars? Or do you purchase on impulse, perhaps feeling a little buyer’s remorse when you arrive home with your latest acquisition and cringe while snipping off the price tags? Maybe you do a bit of both, and perhaps a bit more of the impulse buying than you care to admit, and possibly, this holds true in the case of your online shopping habits too!

We’re only a couple of months into a new year, so you can still resolve to mend your ways and stretch your buying power! That simply involves doing a bit of research, which, when it comes to online shopping entails mere keystrokes as opposed to pounding the pavement or driving great distances in the process of going from store to store and myriad different malls.

Let me give you an example as to how easy it is to pocket some savings which will translate into additional purchase power! I recently bought a pair of gorgeous white gold hoop earrings for my sister’s upcoming birthday. I’ve had my eye on these hoops myself (as well as the matching bangle bracelets), and have, in fact, blogged about them. However, inkeeping with the old adage “It’s better to give than to receive”, I will give them as a gift and admire them from afar!

I purchased said earrings online from Diamond Harmony The price was a reasonable $139.95, in contrast to the retail price of $299.00. This price was made more reasonable by applying an online coupon code to receive a further 10% off . The lovely 3.9 gram white gold earrings with a retail price of $299.00 are now down to $113.95.

My lecture on impulse shopping doesn’t end here, though! What kind of lesson would it be if I didn’t further substantiate my point? So now, by way of comparison, you can see the same pair of white gold hoop earrings, with the same specifications, for a considerably higher price (and that’s prior to applying the discount coupon code!).

I rest my case, Ladies! Do your price comparisons, search online for coupon codes (Hint: 10% off any order from Diamond Harmony using Coupon Code : icyhot2007 – use it before April 1st!), and enjoy more bling for your buck!

Remember to practice the ABCs of E-Shopping:

A - actively pursue deals
B - more bling for your buck
C - coupon codes
