A Secret Tip on Why You Should Shop & Return Online

October 4, 2022      Fun2Find Deals      Leave a Comment

Hey there!

It’s me, Chandler!

I’m back to let you in on a tip I’ve discovered on how to save money shopping online. It’s pretty sweet – in fact it makes me a little giddy when it works. I stumbled across it after signing up for Walmart+. This tip alone has more than paid for our Walmart+! I also use it at Target since I get free shipping with my Red Card. You don’t have to have a Red Card or Walmart+ to use it, though. If you know of other stores this works at, please let me know!

Ready to learn all about it? Let’s go!

Real quick… Let’s Go Over How to Save Time & Money by Shopping Online

First, I have to remind you to make sure you’re following Fun2Find Deals on FB for daily deals! That’s the absolute BEST way to save money! I do all the searching so you don’t have to. You’ll definitely want to make sure you follow along as we prep for the holidays!

Free Shipping

Next, make sure you aren’t paying for shipping. For stores like Walmart & Target, they each have a minimum to hit and then they ship free! I often add things like toilet paper, tissues, or paper towels to my order to hit the minimum. Or, if you sign up for Walmart+ or sign up for a Target Red Card, shipping is always free!

When you return an item you don’t get your shipping back, so it’s imperative to not pay shipping unless you absolutely have to (there are some shops that charge shipping like Jane or Etsy or small businesses I buy from… I pay shipping there if needed because they’re smaller vendors, not big retailers).

Free Returns

This is where shopping online really comes in handy! If you shop through the Walmart or Target app, you can start your returns there!

I didn’t do this for a long time because it just seemed like an extra step, but now I ALWAYS do! Here’s why!

Time for that “Secret” Tip you may not know!

When you start a return online through the Target or Walmart app: The retailer may not even make you bring your item back when they refund your money! Sometimes it actually costs the retailer more to initiate the return, so they don’t. They just refund you and cut their losses.

All this to say that sometimes they refund your money AND let you keep the item! This usually happens with seasonal items like summer sandals or Christmas clothes. There’s been many times over the past year when I started my return online and they didn’t want the item back! I then give it to a friend or donate it. It’s an awesome perk!

No receipt? No problem!

You can use your order history within each app to start a return, even if you lost the receipt! The Walmart app shows you exactly how long you have left to make a return.

The Cat & Jack kids’ clothing brand from Target allows you to return items for up to 1 year with a receipt. This is amazing, but you have to have proof of purchase. If you order online from Target it will always show up on your orders and starting a return will be a breeze!

Just go to your app order history, search for the item: “Shoes” or “Jeans” and then select “Start Return.” They may not even make you return your item when they refund your money! Several returns I’ve made they’ve returned my money AND told me to keep or donate the item. This makes returns soooooo easy, it’s insane. If they do want you to return you can choose to mail it in or return to store, whichever is easiest for you. Then you can then grab the next size up for your kids! I couldn’t even believe how easy it was when I did it!

I was very very very very very excited when I learned this extra tip about returning online! It’s so much fun to share with you! I’m not gonna lie, I often audibly sigh “bummer” when they make me physically return my item. I know it’s normal, it’s just so fun to get to keep the item and get your money back!

If you have any other online return tips please let me know! I always want to learn more about shopping online! Make sure to follow my Facebook Page Fun2Find Deals so you never miss a deal!

For this week's #localcoffeebreak I headed waaaaay For this week's #localcoffeebreak I headed waaaaay west. West of Maize on Maple to Paradise Donuts I needed one of their glazed streusel donuts and wanted to try their Mocha! I was absolutely thrilled with what I found. The shop is nice! They have breakfast options as well - including biscuits and gravy on Saturday & Sunday mornings! Go check them out! And make sure to grab a glazed streusel donut for me!

Note: the Douglas location doesn’t have espresso or the breakfast options or I would have tried that one!
Is my @chatbooks collection getting out of hand or Is my @chatbooks collection getting out of hand or is it just getting started?! I am almost caught up with my series to NOW! (It’ll be a few more months but we’re getting there!). My kids & Luke & I all love to look through these and see the pics and read the memories! They’re the best! Use DEALS20 to s@ve on your first order and download the Chatbooks app to start your series! @cbadvocateteam #chatbooks #memories #photobooms #photomemories
Today’s #localcoffeebreak is all about Tea! HTea Today’s #localcoffeebreak is all about Tea! HTeaO Wichita KS - East has half pr|ce gallons for just 2 more days! Note: This s@le is just at the East side location! Our family’s fave is “Sweet Mint Tea” (please ask my 2 yr old what kind of tea daddy gets because she says it so cute!) but we also love Georgia Peach and we tried the Texas Chai today and it was delish!
They have sample cups out and you can try any of them before you buy (at both east and west locations) - so our kids enjoy going with us and getting sips of a couple. 
They also have a drive thru if that works better for you. And you can get gallons or individual servings… whatever you prefer. We highly recommend them! 
(And before you say they’re not only local- I know. It’s a franchise and we can still support that!)
We have been partying the day away! First the twin We have been partying the day away! First the twins had a basketball game & then had their birthday party. Thank you to all our friends and family that helped us celebrate the twins 7th birthday today! I cannot believe I have 7 year olds!
#LocalCoffeeBreak! This week’s LCB is Common Gro #LocalCoffeeBreak!
This week’s LCB is Common Grounds Coffee House in Wichita, Kansas. I enjoyed my time so much there I totally forgot to take any pics inside! It was a great experience!
Highlights of Common Grounds:
*It’s a house, so you can pick a room to hang out in!
*Coffee is included with breakfast purchase! This made my reg sandwich + mocha several $$$ less than everywhere else I’ve been. 

One thing I learned is that parking is directly behind the building- not in neighboring parking lots or in the driveways behind. 

Have you been here? What did you get? I’ll definitely be back!
