Internet is a huge market and growing faster to let you shop every item you want to buy. Internet is preferable shopping window as one gets innumerable display for the item you want to buy. Thats what we called as E commerce from where one can buy from sellers beyond boundaries at very comparative rates. Yeah but the comparative rates are not so comparative due to internet tricks by some sites which make them to lead in every search result whenever you hit enter to search. With the best internet techniques some of the sites always lead the search result but other don't. Hence enforcing the buyer to buy from these sites only. The sites for online shopping leading in search results often use terms like offer valid till stock only, buy today and get xyz free, some % off today only, buy one and get one free or may be any thing else. But a hundred million dollar question is " Have you really get a discount while shopping online?"

If you ask me probably my answer will be no in most of the cases. Of course I won't talk about exceptions but in majority of cases I would say that you can get better deal while shopping online.  Definitly if you would have seen the terms on online shopping sites mainly

• Shop today and get one free
• Huge discount available
• Offer valid till stock only/ for today/ till some days only
• Buy today and you may win

This is not an end list and may include many more sale attracting terms but the question is "Do you actually benefitted while shopping online?" 

Now please consider the following points:

1. I got offer while shopping online or even in real market too, buy one and get one free. Now the question arises whether there is such huge margin available before to seller so he could offer buy one and get one free or the item is outdated or not in trend and the seller want to clear his stock or seller has inflated price to give an offer like this to attract the buyer. Imagine why a seller will be making a loss by giving such schemes. Definitly the shop is there to earn and not to lose money.
2. Now another offer is huge discounts available or huge %off , means  prices are inflated to show you that you are getting superb discounts but reality is different. And the point to think is that why a shop online or offline will make sales for making losses to them. If its normal discount on printed rate then it may be okay but huge discounts are just to make a customer fool.
3. If you have understood the above points clearly then I don't think that you need to be explained how stock is encashed with limited period offer which come back again in a very limited period. And chance to win a gift/ prize include word "may" so there is almost possibilities that you won't win on account of shopkeeper's loss unless wining chances are played fairly.

Online shopping tips to get best discounts

Remember what to do and not to do while shopping online/ offline

1. Never make hastiness in purchasing. If you show hurry to buy then there are more chances that you will pay more.
2. Try to find other sites too for the same product you want to buy. For better online results you may search your item again with specific model/ brand you chosen on a site rather than the general specification.
3. If you have a market near you and you have time to visit there, then please do so because people are selling online with double prices or even more.
4. If you have social network, than just seek general suggestion for the item you wish to purchase.
5. I have seen some cases official website sells costly than to other general shopping sites.
6. Give some time to read reviews about the product specially on sites other than you intend to buy.
7. Always share if you are victim of some fraud. Remember if you don't share than you are also guilty of the person who would have save himself/herself from the fraud if you would have shared it.
8. And please while shopping specially online, don't attract towards schemes which you think practically impossible if offer is to be given from your side.
