– But generally speaking, there are many small streams that turn into a big river. Small discounts should not be underestimated.
Now she shares her best tips in an interview with News24. This is how you get things for free or at a discounted price.
Patience and planning
In order to save, Malin Persson believes that both patience and planning are required. Having a strategy for your purchases can make a big difference.
– It takes a while before you actually start to see all the offers and discounts that are right in front of you. Usually people avoid advertising. But if you have your eyes with you, they appear everywhere, she tells Nyheter24.
Malin also reminds us not to be fooled by low prices without first comparing:
– In addition, it is important to compare prices and not buy just because it is cheap.

Get priority on sales
Many companies offer exclusive discounts and advance sales information to their members. Malin Persson believes that this is an excellent way to save money on the goods you want.
– By subscribing to newsletters and joining customer clubs, you get access to these offers first, she says.
In customer clubs, you often get priority access to sales, extra discounts via e-mail and SMS, as well as invitations to various events. In some clubs, you can also earn points that can be exchanged for discounts, travel, hotel nights or prizes.

Make searching a new habit
According to Malin Persson, there are discount codes for almost everything. While it can feel difficult to know where to look at first, she urges you to always check before you shop.
– Make it a habit to search for discount codes and compare prices before finalizing a purchase. There are many comparison sites that can help you find the best price, she says.
She also believes that you can often find discount codes by following the companies you want to shop from on social media. Companies often give out discount codes and announce promotions on their social media platforms.
– By following your favorite brands, you can quickly pick up these opportunities, she says.
“Significant Savings”
Malin Persson says that she saves significantly on her expenses by using cashback sites. Refund pages, or so-called “cashback pages”, are designed in such a way that you get a certain percentage back on your purchases when you shop through them.
On these pages you can search for the stores you want to shop at. After the purchase, you get back a certain percentage of the purchase price. The time it takes to get the money back varies, but according to Malin Persson it usually takes between 15 and 45 days.
– This can lead to significant savings over time, says Malin Persson.
