This article was initially written in 2014 when the online shopping trend in India was catching up. It’s coming to over a decade now, and the growth has been tremendous.
Many people are not comfortable shopping online, the prices have also become competitive, and a lot of online shopping sites have emerged.
But Flipkart and Amazon are two giants who have got the most significant share with Amazon number one. The services mentioned below are still helpful in getting the lowest price for a product available online.
But I am adding some additional tips and tricks that I have used myself and gained from other friends.
Join groups on Facebook and telegram
Many Facebook and telegram groups have emerged in the last few years, having thousands of members. They are pretty active also and share some amazing deals every few minutes or so.
The most active I’ve found are the Telegram groups (called Channels). You can join them and start getting alert messages. Group admin share products with their affiliate links and get Commission from sites when someone buys a product. But you still pay the same amount, and sometimes even crazy low prices.
Install Chrome extensions from product comparison sites
If you are not actively looking to Grab deals and do not want to get deal alerts now and then, you can install Chrome extensions from comparison sites.
These Chrome extensions will notify you of the same product listing on another site if you are on the listing page of one of the eCommerce sites.
Join Rewards Sites
Some websites have different models. They let you compare a product listed on other eCommerce sites. When you buy the product using their link, they share a part of the Commission they get from the E-Commerce sites with users in the form of rewards.
These rewards can be utilized for getting coupons for purchasing other products, or even be cashed out

You might be aware of how popular these online shopping sites have become by the number of ads being run on the TV these days.
Chances are, you may already have bought a thing or two from these websites. It is a great way to shop with the comfort of your couch.
Mostly, the online prices of the products are cheaper than physical stores, but with growing competition in eCommerce, the online prices are different on each website.
Also, these sites come up with exciting deals and discount coupons for their customers now and then.
So it’s a better idea to check with multiple sites before you buy something online. This single practice will save a considerable amount of money.
Here is the drill, how many online shopping sites do you know? Flipkart, Amazon.in, Snapdeal, Jabong would surely be on your list, but there is a range of online shopping sites offering products from almost every category, be it consumer electronics or kitchen appliances or apparel.

Here comes the role of comparison sites, which are growing in number just like the eCommerce sites.
What these comparison sites do is very simple. They show you the prices of a product on all possible eCommerce sites which has listed the product on their sites.
They get a commission out of every purchase the user makes, so they are happy to do the hard work of finding the best prices for you.
We tried each comparison site we could find usable and are listing them below. Each website offers comparisons to the prices but is a little different from each other.
But if you have to use just one site, use MySmartPrice, which also has a section of Daily Deals worth checking out. Junglee.com (which is owned by Amazon) and Buy Hatke also do the job very well.
We tried searching for iPhone 5S on these comparison sites and have attached the screenshots below to show how each and every site performed the search queries to give you a better idea of how each site works.
