Not everyone enjoys malls
or have the time or energy to visit one, especially if you’re someone who’s
either hiking or swimming or just sleeping or eating :P. (ehem!)
I only go when I really,
really have to and it’s a chore I just have to get over and done with.
Fortunately, it’s so much
easier these days to just buy stuff online and it’s become more secure too which
is why I love online shopping. It’s just so convenient and if I see several
options online, I have time to do more research or ask around (thank you Social
media!) before making a purchase.
Since I love shopping
online, I got excited when Shopback invited me to try out their platform. Shopback
is a website that helps you get the best deals and discounts on 300+ stores,
plus Cashback! Cashback is really just "getting cash back" when you
make a purchase passing through Shopback’s site.
ShopBack works with
merchants who reward them with a commission when referring a customer to shop
on their site. When you spend online through ShopBack, they give
you a portion of your
purchase back as Cashback.
Just recently, I had to
buy a MicroSD card for my Supremo 4K action cam. I decided to go to a mall and
sadly, not only did it stress me out having to talk to sales people (I wasn’t
feeling sociable that day), I also didn’t find anything that suited my needs.
The next day, I followed a
friend’s advice to check out Lazada and in a few minutes, I was able to buy one,
a reliable MicroSD card that came at a good price! I only wished I learned about ShopBack before
I bought one. (Lazada vouchers and
promotions up for grabs at ShopBack!
