The clever online shopping method customers are using to get a cheeky discount, and it ‘works every time’
IF you're someone who enjoys a discount - and let's face it, who isn't - then you might want to try the "abandoned basket" method to get your shopping for less.
Caroline is a pro at getting more for her money, and regularly shares her top tips on her social media pages.
And in a recent TikTok video, she explained how you can secretly convince retailers to give you a discount - just by leaving things in your basket.
"The best online shopping hack that basically nobody ever uses is the abandoned basket method," she said.
"Simply go onto a website where you want to buy something and put those things in your online basket.
"And then, don't buy it!"

You then need to "wait a few hours" or maybe a "day or two" and "that company will email you and they will send you a discount to use!"
She shared some of the retailers she's found that send out such discounts, including Asda, Boohoo, New Look and River Island.
"In fact, some might even send you a discount for up to 50%!" Caroline continued.
"This is because they would rather have your custom at a lower price than not at all."
Caroline added that she's long used the method, and has saved herself "loads of money" by doing so.
And people in the comments section were equally quick to suggest trying out the hack.
"It works every time," one insisted.
"I always use this!" another said.
"I've done that for years," a third commented.
"I do this all the time! 9 out of 10 send discounts!" someone else wrote.
"I use this as well, it's great & I came across it by accident!" another laughed.
"I do this often. I get a discount and free shipping more often than not," someone else revealed.
As another added: "I’ve used this trick on eBay recently. I got discounts a day or so later."
While others insisted they were desperate to have a test out of the method next time they shop for something online.
"Wow that’s fab info, I will definitely try that," one said.
"Oh that's why I get emails with a discount lol!" another added.

"I didn't think of this, thanks!"
"Love you and your tips," a third smiled.
