I had no idea! But my online version of window shopping is putting items in my online cart, going through to the final amount due phase of the order, letting it sit, and often coming back and closing the tab because I decided to wait, or look further, or just doing the window shopping thing.
Emails with discounts started appearing in my inbox and suddenly I realized you can take advantage of that. No need to search for coupon codes or wait for special sales.
A friend who does web marketing in her day job told me this is programmed into many websites - it’s called the abandoned cart discount. Good grief!
No reason not to utilize this when shopping to get the best deal out there.
Can you tell it’s mid-July in NC and I’m totally avoiding the heat? :)

It's the best way to avoid the heat! I've noticed that too. I leave some items in a cart and after a while I find a discount is in my favor to actually hit the go button. Doesn't work all the time but it's worth a shot.
I may be the last person on the planet to learn about the abandoned cart discount! :)
