How to save money without shopping more

The best kind of saving requires no self-discipline. You change nothing about what you buy; you simply get a little back on what you were shopping for anyway.

Save on what you already buy

Nappies, coffee, a new jacket, a mobile subscription, insurance. Things you buy regardless. Go via Sparebørsen first and you get a share of the money back, without spending a krone extra.

Do not let cashback tempt you into buying more

Cashback is at its smartest when it does not change what you buy. Do not buy something you do not need because it gives money back; then you have lost money, not saved it.

Small amounts that add up over time

One purchase may give a little. But a whole year of ordinary online shopping through Sparebørsen turns into a pleasant sum you would otherwise never have seen again.

Frequently asked questions

Am I really saving money, or just spending more?

You save as long as you buy the same as before. Cashback gives something back on existing spending; the trick is not to let it tempt you into new purchases.

Start with the next purchase you were going to make anyway: create a free account first.
