A lot of online shopping portals offer discounts on weekends. Those who do regular shopping online - do you wait for the week end offers and take advantage of these. Or do you shop as and when you like something irrespective of the price?

Hi friend, I am aware of "offer of the day", but sorry to tell you, till today, never seen or checked weekend discounts. You are referring which online shopping website! My observation, when they offer any discounts, they also increase the price of the product. Their are some very good website, which actually offer discounts, but those offers are for particular period and not weekend discounts.

I think a lot of online sites have started offering online discounts because there is more online shopping activity on weekends. I check on these offers only to see the products that have come in the market because every week they come out with different products. I dont ever buy anything online.

The discounts shown do look attractive to us. I am very often tempted to try. May be one day.

Hi mayka! I did not know this fact that some on line portal offer discounts on weekends. I prefer to buy things off line i.e. in person, instead of buying it on line. We have a huge market around us and most of the things are available at reasonable prices, therefore, we go and buy on the spot and this way we could evaluate the quality of the product. I have taken note of your suggestion and whenever I need to buy something on line, I would keep your advice in mind. Thanks for sharing.

I love visiting these sites and looking at pictures of what is available now in the market. I dont get tempted to buy anything though. Its just that on weekends sometimes my inbox gets more flooded with weekend offers from some sites.

Mayka, i seldom shop online recently, so don't know much about this type of weekend discounts. But, i think i won't be interest to buy during weekend. I only do shopping online when i don't have enough time to go to the malls. Shopping online is interesting and relaxing. But, we must be careful about weekend sales. Most of it is to clear the old stock. Better be safe and careful.

I too seldom do online shopping except if it some books that my boss needs. But I love browsing the online sites and see whats new in the market. Browsing keeps me update on what new products have come in the market.

I don't really do any online shopping - thankfully - as I would probably spend my paycheck SAME DAY if I did! Ha! I might check out some of the deals, if there are any online, by the end of the week (I get paid on Friday..Woo hoo!). Do you know of any sites that are having good deals? I am trying my best to avoid the craziness of the malls & stores after Black Friday - more stress than I am willing to deal with over something as silly as getting a good deal. Luckily online you don't really have to deal with that same craziness!

The deals in different cities and countries varies. Am not sure of deals available where you live. I actually just enjoy looking at the products available and their prices. Not crazy about shopping.

Oh how I love online shopping sale. I don't have to que long way to the cashier or sweat because there's too many people at the store in the sale time. I always wait for great discount offer, because I think their regular price are expensive.

Some like the hustle bustle of the shopping mall. Some like the quiet of online shopping. I have still not compared the prices in online shopping. I am planning to start keeping a tab now onwards.

I am not aware of this as I never did online shopping. But I wonder why there is a discount on weekends? They may have some target to reach within one week and discounts may help them to boost the sales.

weekend discount is always very tempting for me and perhaps for all women around the world. lol. i dont wait for weekend discount cos weekend will always come every srven days. lol. i like discount of course. but w should be a smart buyer. if we know the stores we will notice which price is really dicounted or which price is to be raised than they give discount. so the price is actually the same but they make it as if it is discount price. i often notice this in some stores near my house. i call this fake discount. so for me, i should be careful in buying something. i avoid myself from fake discount. i sometimes compare the price from one store to another so i can get the lowest price. but i do this not too often. usually if i have much money i will shop no matter what. but it is also not often happened cos im poor more often than rich..lol..

I do not ever get tempted by the discount price. After all the shop owners will not go into a loss to give us things at a discounted rate.

I am aware of this, if i really need any thing i place order and pay when the item is delivered, just because it is WEEKEND DISCOUNT i don't buy; we need to be careful because they clear out old stock in such sales..

Online shopping is okay for those who are just at home or are too busy with their job and cannot go to shopping malls. Or else I think shopping at malls is more fun.

I like discounts very much.. I try to buy few products when they offer discounts. I have already done few online shopping till now. Mostly i buy books and recently i bought a sling bag and one kurti. May i know which sites are giving discounts this weekend? Which sites do you prefer for online shopping? I just want to know because i may have missed the sites.

I don't quite like online shoping,because it can give me the feeling of in a market or a mall,but if I have not enough time and I quite need a thing I will choose this way.

I agree with you that online shopping does not give the same feel as the mall or market. I usually buy books for my boss online. Nothing else.
