How to keep track of discounts

Although sales happen almost every month, this does not prevent stores from declaring additional discounts on various groups of goods. In order not to miss the benefit, use the services that will help you choose the best time for shopping.

Resource Slickdeals - This is a storehouse of information about current discounts and sales. Here you can find discount coupons for the most popular American trading floors: from 6pm and Amazon to Sephora. On the main page there is information about the stocks that seemed to be the most interesting to site visitors.

Another popular coupon and discount aggregator is Fatwallt. Offers are conveniently sorted into categories, so even someone who is not particularly good in English can figure it out.

Service Fetchee will tell you when it's time to buy the things you are interested in. Install a browser extension, add products to the wishlist, and when the store announces a discount, Fetchee will send you an email. It turns out much more convenient than monitoring sales on their own.

Amazon lovers will need a site Camel. Select a product, copy the address of its page into the search bar on Camelcamelcamel and see how the price of this item has changed since it was available. Thus, you can insure yourself against a meeting with amateurs to raise prices before major sales.
