5 Ways to Save Time (and Money) When Shopping Online

Shopping online should feel effortless. Find what you love, get the best deal, and check out—simple, right?

In reality, it’s often anything but. You open 10 tabs, compare the same product across five different sites, try to remember where you saw the best price… and by the time you’re ready to buy, you're second-guessing everything.

At Clobella, we get it. We're building a smarter way to shop—one that saves you time, helps you make confident choices, and ensures you never miss a great deal. But while we’re putting the finishing touches on the app, here are five tips you can use today to improve your online shopping game.

1. Start with a Wishlist
Impulse buys can be fun—but they’re also where most regret (and wasted money) starts. Creating a wishlist helps you slow down, prioritize, and revisit items after the initial excitement fades.

The key? Keep your wishlist organized in one place. Instead of scattered screenshots and bookmarks, use a tool that lets you save all your picks across brands and retailers.
(Hint: That’s exactly what Clobella is built for.)

2. Use Alerts, Not Your Memory
Waiting for an item to go on sale? Relying on your memory to check back later isn’t ideal. Instead, set price-drop or restock alerts so you're the first to know when the time is right.

Many retailers offer this, but managing multiple accounts across different platforms can be a hassle.
Clobella makes it easy: set alerts for anything on your wishlist, and we’ll handle the rest.

3. Shop with Timing in Mind
Retailers follow patterns. From end-of-season clearances to mid-week flash sales, the timing of your purchase can have a huge impact on the final price.

If you’re not in a hurry, it’s worth waiting—and knowing when to strike.
We're working on tools that show price trends and sale windows, so you can make the most of every purchase.

 4. Compare Before You Commit
That pair of sneakers you love? Chances are it's listed on more than one site—and not always at the same price. Retailers offer different promotions, discounts, and shipping policies, which can lead to big differences at checkout.

The trick is knowing where to look.
At Clobella, we bring multiple listings together so you can compare prices, shipping options, and more—all in one place. No more browser tab chaos.  

5. Filter for Value, Not Just Aesthetics
We’ve all been there: something looks great, but the material, return policy, or shipping cost turns out to be a letdown.

Shopping smart means considering the full picture—not just the first impression.
That’s why Clobella simplifies product listings to highlight what really matters: total price, material quality, reviews, and return policies—so you shop with confidence, not guesswork.

Why Clobella?
Clobella is more than a shopping tool. It's your digital companion for discovering, comparing, and buying fashion and lifestyle items—all in one seamless experience.
