Intro
Why pay full price when you can pay less… and then get some of that back again?
If you love a good deal, stacking coupons, cashback, and sales should be your favorite sport.
Here’s how to do it like a pro—without 37 browser tabs open.
1. Start With Cashback (Always)
Activate a cashback site first (like Rakuten or BeFrugal) before you enter any codes or check out.
This ensures your visit is tracked and you get paid later.
✅ Install their extension so you never forget.
2. Search for Promo Codes Strategically
Try sites like:
- Honey (auto applies coupons)
- RetailMeNot
- CouponBirds
- Or even the brand’s own homepage
✅ Check expiry dates + whether they stack with cashback.
3. Sign Up for Email Offers
Before you buy, check if the site gives 10–15% off for new subscribers.
Use a burner email if needed—but don’t skip the discount.
4. Look for Bundle Deals or Thresholds
“Spend $50, get $10 off” or “Buy 2, get 1 free”—these stack perfectly with other offers if timed well.
✅ Combine with sale items = major win.
5. Use a Rewards Credit Card
If you’re paying anyway, may as well get points or cashback from your card provider too.
🛍️ Stack =
• Card points
+
• Coupon
+
• Cashback site
+
• Sale price
✅ Yes, it’s as satisfying as it sounds.
6. Time It Around Sale Events
Black Friday, Singles’ Day, Labor Day, Back to School… almost all sites increase cashback or unlock hidden codes during these times.
✅ Pro tip: Start a wishlist, then wait for the sale week.
7. Track It All (Without Losing Your Mind)
Use a notes app, Chrome extension, or even just keep a screenshot folder of codes that worked.
You’ll start to notice patterns: which brands offer what, and when.
Final Thoughts
Stacking discounts is part art, part timing, and part knowing where to look.
Once you try it, you’ll never settle for “apply one code at checkout” again.
It’s not just about saving—it’s about winning at shopping.
