Online Shopping: A Better Way to Spend

Online shopping is ideal because it can be done at any time from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone from any location. This is perfect for those without the time to wander the stores in search of a product.

Black Friday is nationally known as one of the largest shopping events of the year. While Black Friday produced some of the largest income numbers yet in 2015, data analysts were shocked to see a change in numbers shortly after. Cyber Monday, while always well participated in, brought in nearly twice the amount of income as Black Friday sales. This can easily be attributed to the growth in the online storefront system.

While companies like Amazon and Ebay have always led the online sales board, there are many other physical stores, such as Rue21 or Nike, who have made a strong name for themselves by selling online, as well. While Cyber Monday is one of the largest online sales dates, it is not the only time that online sales growth will occur. Holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s, and even simple birthdays are ideal times to hop on the computer and buy gifts for loved ones. It is convenient, and often times cheaper, to order online instead of going out and wandering the aisles in hopes the producer will carry the desired product.

Should one want to check out online shopping, these are the top sites with the lowest prices:

 

Overstock

Overstock carries everything from designer bags to the hottest technology on the market. Often, the prices are cheaper than the traditional retail costs because, as the name states, it is overstock.

 

Wish

Wish is another up-and-coming online retailer used by many internationally. While there have been mixed reviews of the quality of products and the shipping time can be slow, Wish has received fair ratings through the years for the prices. This is recommended for those who will place product orders far in advance.

 

Last Call

Last call comes highly recommended for those seeking a storefront similar to Overstock. However, Last Call carries mainly off-price men’s and women’s apparel instead of a wide variety of products. Almost all listed items come from a designer brand, but thankfully the store leaves the designer price behind.

 

 

While these are the top three retailers currently, many other storefronts are available online with prices that cannot be beat. With constant sales and huge clearance variety, online shopping can be done without breaking the bank and from the comfort of one’s home.
