Even though inflation is rising, you can still save at least 5-10% on your next purchase from any e-commerce platform by following the tricks and tips shared below. In this blog, I will share multiple extensions, personalized tips, and hacks to help you get the best value for your purchases. Rest assured, this will be the only guide you'll need to optimize your shopping experience. Just follow the steps below!
Getting the Best Discount on Flipkart
Securing the best deals on Flipkart involves three key strategies:
1. Use the Power of E-commerce Extension Tools
Have you ever noticed Flipkart sale ads? If I had to describe them in one word, it would be gimmicky. Flashy banners and discount ads are often designed to lure you into buying. However, there are reliable tools to help you find the actual best price for a product.
1.1. Check Price History
Use a price history checker to ensure you're not buying the product at its peak price. I recommend using tools like [Tool Name], which lets you track whether the current price is the best or close to the best.
1.2. Compare Prices on Different E-commerce Platforms
Here’s a secret: most e-commerce platforms have specific product categories or brands where they offer the best deals. For instance:
Flipkart: Best prices for Motorola phones.
Amazon: Best prices for iPhone 13.
JioMart: Best prices for iPhone 14.
You can use a [Tool Name] browser extension to compare prices across platforms effortlessly. Simply install the extension, browse Flipkart, and let it show you the best prices available elsewhere.
2. Identify the Best Sale Months
Flipkart has sales almost every month, but some months offer significantly better discounts. Here’s a breakdown by quarter:
Quarter 1 (January-March): January is the best month, with the Flipkart Bachat Dhamaka Sale offering great discounts on electronics and groceries.
Quarter 2 (April-June): May is ideal, thanks to the Flipkart Big Saving Days or Big Bachat Days.
Quarter 3 (July-September): Avoid major electronics purchases unless it’s during Big Billion Days in September.
Quarter 4 (October-December): October is the ultimate time for purchases, especially during the Big Billion Days, but don’t get carried away—stay strategic!
If your purchase is urgent, don’t worry! Check out the tricks below to save money during off-sale months.
3. Flipkart’s Special Discounts and Offers
3.1. SuperCoin Discounts
If you have SuperCoins in your Flipkart account, use them to buy vouchers. These vouchers can be redeemed to save money on electronics.
3.2. VIP Account Discounts
Flipkart Plus members enjoy extra discounts, but did you know Flipkart also offers VIP Accounts? These accounts allow you to redeem SuperCoins at full value (₹1 per coin) and offer additional price cuts during sales. If you don’t have a VIP account, ask friends or family to use theirs.
3.3. Account-Specific Discounts
This trick requires patience. Set price alerts on 2-3 accounts because Flipkart sometimes offers additional discounts to specific accounts.

3.4. Combo Discounts
Look for combo deals like free earphones with phones or chargers included. Scroll down on the product page to check for these offers.
4. Credit Card Discounts and Promo Codes
4.1. Card-Specific Discounts
Certain credit or debit cards offer discounts or cashback on purchases. Check the terms of your card to see if Flipkart has an ongoing promotion.
4.2. Promo Codes and Seller Coupons
Many sellers on Amazon and Flipkart provide discount coupons. To find them, join Telegram groups or deal forums where these codes are shared.
