Here’s a roundup staff picks of the best shopping tips and tricks posted on SimplyCodes this past month:

  1. **For **Shutterfly

“Every time you make a purchase with Shutterfly, they email you a single-use promo code that you can use for your next purchase. The codes have been for 40% off in my experience. So if you have a larger order, break it up into two so you can get a 40% off coupon, then apply it to the second order.”

  1. **For **Patagonia

“​​Patagonia’s Worn Wear initiative allows consumers to trade in gently worn Patagonia clothing in-store or via mail in exchange for retail credit up to $100. You can use the trade-in credit online, at a Patagonia store, or at the Worn Wear store, where you can shop used Patagonia clothing at a fraction of its retail price. This program applies to most clothing available in kids, men’s, and women’s sizes, along with gear like backpacks, totes, and sleeping bags.”

  1. **For **Telfar

“Telfar’s clothing drops run on “live pricing.” They set a minimum price and a full price, and the items price increases every second of the sale. Whatever price the item sells out at is its price for life SO SHOP EARLY!”

  1. **For **Aveda

“Healthcare workers get 20% all purchases on Aveda website by verifying through SheerID. On Aveda.com click on “offers” tab at bottom of site and then scroll down and click on “verify my status” and follow the instructions. You will need to upload a photo of your badge or part of your pay stub as proof but it is worth it..”

  1. **For **Apple

“Generally, the best discounts you can get here are to stack three things: (1) Trade-in credit, (2) Education discount, (3) Apple Card 3% cash back.”
