Americans are delaying online purchases to wait for discountsespecially on electronics, clothing, and big-ticket items.
Many shoppers now purposely abandon carts hoping retailers send them coupon codes or free shipping offers.
Consumers are stacking coupons, cash back apps, rewards programs, and AI tools like ChatGPT to avoid paying full price.
For many Americans, shopping online no longer ends when you add something to the cart. In fact, thats often where the real strategy begins.
A new survey from CouponFollow found that 91% of Americans delay purchases to wait for a discount, and 61% are willing to hold out a month or longer before buying. The survey of 1,000 U.S. adults shows just how emotionally and financially calculated shopping has become in the age of inflation and rising household costs.
From tracking prices, abandoning carts on purpose, signing up for discounts, and timing purchases around sales cycles, consumers are getting pretty good at it and saving big in the process.
Americans are turning shopping into a strategy game
According to the survey, shoppers say they need an average discount of 26% to consider buying and not waiting for a better deal. Surprisingly, younger shoppers are the most patient, with millennials and Gen Z likely to delay purchases for months if they think a better price might be coming down the road.
Electronics are the biggest wait it out category, followed by clothing and fashion. That makes sense because both industries operate on fairly predictable markdown cycles.
Young consumers have learned that:
TVs get cheaper around major sporting events and Black Friday. Laptops and electronics dip during back-to-school season. Clothing prices collapse at end-of-season clearance events. Mattresses go on sale during holiday weekends. Amazon notoriously fluctuates their prices constantly.
Once shoppers start to recognize these patterns, and the right time to buy certain items, paying full price starts to feel almost irresponsible or likea last resort.
The survey also found that 68% of shoppers actually feel slightly guilty buying something at full price, especially if they suspect a sale is coming soon. Meanwhile, a whopping 91% feel annoyed when they buy something only to notice it goes on sale shortly after their purchase.
