Internet shopping.. ..and how you may get a discount on your favourite site that doesn't offer one..

I've known about this for some time, but today it was crystal clear.

I hadn't been to a particular site for ages and today I visited it and found some stuff at 50% discount together with a further 10% off offer. It doesn't matter what the site is.

I put two things in the basket and I was logged onto the site.

This evening I returned to the site. The 50% reduction was no longer on offer and neither was the 10% further reduction. I wasn't impressed.

I keep Opera as my "expendable" browser so I can use it and regularly wipe all cookies etc.

So I visited the same site using Opera. Back came the 50% off and the 10% additional offer code. So I logged on again and took the offer.

The point is not my saving but that through cookies and tracking sites will vary their offer to you. It can often be useful to have a browser when tracking cookies don't exist so you look like a complete stranger to the site. You can save money.

..just remember to clear cookies regularly on your chosen "expendable" browser.
