Attention – you can finally stop scouring the web for ways to find discounts during your online shopping sprees. Savvy shopping genius Kyle James from Rather Be Shopping has uncovered the key to scoring awesome deals for your online shopping endeavors.

When shoppers fill their online shopping baskets and leave without actually purchasing the products, retailers lose money. When it comes to completing a transaction, any sale is better than no sale at all.

Luckily, James discovered that a lot of stores will actually offer even more discounts to customers in order for them to click the checkout button! Basically all you have to do is subscribe to newsletters of your favorite stores (just provide your email address), fill your online cart with items, and then wait for an email from the store with a nice discount to lure you back to complete the purchase.

Check out this list of retailers to win some of the best deals using this shopping hack. If you don’t believe us, see for yourself. It’s the easiest way to save an extra 10-20% off your order!
