Extra credit for expert discount codes

Were you the Hermione Granger in your class growing up? Excellent, because now it's time for extra credit that will make you outdo your fellow deal fighters. It's one thing to find a coupon code yourself, but it's quite another idea to weigh the pros and cons of a variety of stores and discounts in the quest for the ultimate best price. Do the math to decide where to buy

Extra credit for discount code experts

After finding Back to School coupon codes for a store or a few stores, you may notice that there are different types of codes available. There can be offers for a certain percentage discount, a fixed dollar amount or free shipping, and each can have different minimum purchase requirements. Since many stores only allow one discount code Back to School for each order, you need to find out which discount code is ideal for your specific purchase.

Free shipping Back to School

One of the biggest considerations is whether there will be a shipping charge. There's nothing like a hefty shipping fee to downgrade an otherwise great deal. For example, you would like to discover that a store is offering a 25% discount with no minimum, perfect for your order of $30.00. But then it will be charged with shipping costs of $9.95.

Unless you know you're getting free shipping, you'll want to know how much the shipping cost will cost you and compare that to the discount another available code offers to see which is greater. In the example above, the 25% discount coupon would save you $7.50 on a purchase of $30.00. But if the store also offered a discount code for something like free shipping on $25.00, that would save even more at $9.95. Of course, coupons that offer both discounts and free shipping are even better.

Discount Back to School on a special order.

If shipping isn't a factor, choosing a discount code is simply a matter of figuring out which discount will reduce your particular order the most. In general, smaller orders are more likely to benefit from a fixed percentage discount, e.g. $5.00 off $25.00, than a 10% discount percentage, because the percentage of a small order may be minimal. As the order gets bigger, the more likely a discount percentage is the best.

Spend more, save more

Spending more on an order can have its advantages. When multiple Back to School coupons are available, you should consider whether increasing your order total to meet a minimum for a larger discount actually works better to maximize value from your order.

Meeting Spending Layers

Stores often release coupon codes in different discount amounts depending on your purchase size - with the same coupon code or with different codes. As your purchase size increases, you may qualify for a larger discount. When you reach a level where a higher discount applies, you may find that you can get more product value by spending a relatively small amount of extra.
