It’s a given that shopping involves spending money, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be smart about it and save a few dollars along the way! There are plenty of tips and tricks to help you save money while you shop. And in girl math, the money you save is just extra earnings in your pocket! From browser extensions to the best times to shop, consider this your savvy shopping guide.
Use these tips to save money the next time you go shopping:
Use Browser extensions, such as Honey
If you’re new to the world of browser extensions, you’re in for a treat. Honey, for example, is completely free to download, and it automatically searches for coupon codes while you shop. At checkout, you just click the Honey extension, and it does the rest – trying any and all recent coupon codes that customers have used on the specific site you’re shopping at. (Not sponsored, we just love it).
Wait for sales
It goes without saying, but we’re going to say it anyway – wait for sales. Especially if you’re planning on going on a shopping spree. That way, you’ll only spend a fraction of what you normally would. Different stores and brands have varying sale patterns, but dates like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Day, and towards the end of each season, are safe bets to expect markdowns. Also… you already know we love a good warehouse sale.
Make Wish Lists
One of the best ways to save money is by avoiding impulse buys. Keep a shopping wish list on hand and try not to stray from it. For example, if you notice a particular gap in your wardrobe, jot it down in your notes app and focus on shopping for the things on your wish list rather than just aimlessly shopping. You can also make wish lists directly on most online retailer’s websites in order to keep tabs on your most coveted pieces.
Pay With A Credit Card
You have to be careful with this one, as it can be all too easy to slip into debt, but simply paying with your credit card instead of debit or cash (only spending the amount you would on debit or cash, anyway) can earn you points and cashback (depending on your plan), but it also allows you to shop in a secure way.
Sign-Up For Emails
As much as no one likes receiving too many branded emails in their inbox, you never know when that one email with a coupon code or information on a limited-time sale will come in. It’s definitely worth signing up for your favourite brand’s email subscriptions! Fun fact: In our weekly newsletter, we always include a round-up of 20 sales happening at the moment. 😉
Join Rewards Programs
Almost every brand you shop at likely has some kind of rewards program at this point. Be sure to join the reward programs from your favourite brands to get all kinds of perks. Sephora, for example, offers a point-based rewards program, where you can earn points to get free products or money off – plus get access to exclusive discounts during sale times.
Know The Return Policy
We’ve all been guilty of buying an item, it not working out, and then it just ends up staying in the bag past the literal point of no return. Before buying anything, make sure to know the return policy, and actually return within the return window if it doesn’t end up working out! Otherwise, you might as well just throw out your money.
Compare Prices
Shopping savvy is all about making informed shopping decisions. Before pulling the trigger on a specific item, do your research to ensure you’re getting the best price.
Use Coupons
Whether you’re shopping online or in person, never neglect the power of a coupon! Browse the internet, check your mail for flyers, and tune into your favourite influencers offering discount codes!
Do Your Own Quality Inspecting
When shopping in person, always do your own quality inspection. Check for any flaws, loose seams, or signs of a poorly made item. Follow @wangjenniferr on TikTok for tips on what to look for when checking garments for quality. When shopping online, be sure to perform your own little inspection when you receive it before pulling off any tags.

Amazon Prime Day is quickly approaching on October 8th and 9th, 2024! So it’s time to set your alarms and get ready to save! Even though the massive savings event isn’t (quite) here yet, we always like to fill our carts in advance so we can quickly check out when the time comes. Plus, there are already a ton of early deals to shop!
First thing’s first – What is Prime Day?
Amazon’s Prime Day is a two-day shopping event during which Prime members get exclusive access to millions (yes, millions) of deals on Amazon. Some notable participating brands include Paula’s Choice, Peloton, Ninja, Amazon (obviously), and so much more.
How to prep for Prime Day:
There are some simple things you can do in preparation for Prime Day to ensure you have the most successful shopping experience possible:
- Sign up to be a Prime member. In order to participate in Prime Day and all of its glory, you need to be a member. (You can sign up for a 30-day free trial if you’re not already signed up). After the trial, the membership is just $9.99 per month or $99 per year.
- Set up deal notifications. Prime members can set up personalized deal notifications to be notified when their recent searches and product views have deals, so you never miss a discount.
- Build your cart. In order to secure you’re best chances of snagging the items you want to buy on sale before they sell out, have them ready in your cart. This avoids last-minute scrambling!
- Take advantage of early deals. As we mentioned, a ton of items are already marked down on Amazon! Take advantage of these early deals to ensure you don’t miss out.

Shopping at a warehouse sale is no ordinary shopping experience. It’s like a treasure hunt with gems everywhere you look! That being said, if you’re new to the world of warehouse sales, it can feel a little intimidating. But don’t fret – you’ve come to the right place. Having hosted hundreds of them ourselves, we’ve picked up some key tips along the way.
Shop warehouse sales like a pro with these tips!
1. Wear form-fitting clothes
Since we don’t have designated changing rooms, it’s a good idea to wear an outfit that you can easily try things on over. We always have plenty of mirrors around the sales floor so you can check out how items look!
2. Bring a shopping buddy
With so many items to shop, a second opinion from someone you trust is super helpful. A good shopping buddy is always honest—and it doesn’t hurt to have some friendly company while you shop.
3. Come back on multiple days
If you have the time, try to visit the sale on multiple days. We are always restocking with new items, and markdowns typically get even deeper on weekends.
4. Check out all the sections
Make sure to go through all the sections—women’s, men’s, and kids—you never know what great deal you could find!
6. Make a wish list
To avoid getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options to shop, go in with a list of items you’re on the hunt for. For example, if you’re attending an Adidas sale, some items on your wish list may be a pair of runners, an oversized hoodie, gym shorts, etc.
6. Come with cards—not cash
We only take credit and debit, so be sure to have your cards on hand.
7. Follow us on Instagram
The best way to stay up to date on sale news, line wait times, contests, and more is to follow us on Instagram. We’ve also been known to hide gift cards, revealing their hiding spots on our Instagram stories (shh).
8. Join SDCLUB+
If you want to truly be a warehouse sale shopping pro, you’re going to need to join SDCLUB+. By joining, you’ll be the first to know about upcoming sales, skip the line, get exclusive discounts, and more.
