5 WAYS TO SUPERCHARGE YOUR SAVINGS 1. DELAY BUYING CERTAIN ITEMS. In addition to grills, electronics and small appliances will be even more deeply discounted during back-to-school and Labor
Day sales, says Bonebright, if you’re willing to wait. Although clothing markdowns are steep in some categories, the deals will get even better and more widespread, according to Rakuten
shopping expert Kristen Gall. She predicts “discounts of 60 percent to 80 percent on clearance items as the season wears on ... with plenty of sizes and colors available.” 2. GET MONEY BACK.
Sign up for programs offered by cash-back sites such as Rakuten and RetailMeNot, and use a cash-back credit card when you shop to score discounts on top of discounts. Rakuten is running
special promotions for the holiday weekend, including 10 percent to 15 percent cash-back deals at Pier 1 Imports, Macy’s, Shoes.com and QVC. 3. CRACK THE CODES. Download the Honey and
RetailMeNot browser extensions. They automatically download coupon codes at checkout so you won’t miss a deal. 4. CONSIDER REFURBS. Before you buy new, check out the deals on refurbished
merchandise at Amazon Warehouse, Blinq and eBay, which can save you up to 50 percent or more. (Get an extra 20 percent off of selected items on eBay with the PICK2SAVE promo code.) Note that
warranties and return policies may vary for refurbs; also, always check details on the item’s condition. 5. SCOOP UP SPECIAL DEALS. Check your spam folder for email newsletters from
retailers offering exclusive discounts. Also follow your favorite stores, including small local retailers, on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for special deals, recommends Bonebright.
