Unfortunately, one of the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is that most stores are either running low on stock or closing their store altogether. Thank goodness for online shopping and home delivery! From tack to grooming supplies to barn supplies, you can find a great selection online and maybe even save some money with better pricing.

Comparison Shop

Before you make a big purchase, check the same item’s price at other retailers. Don’t forget to factor in shipping – if a retailer offers free shipping, you might be able to save money by choosing that retailer instead of another.

Save Coupons

Coupons can be great money-saving opportunities when they’re for products we already use. Keep an eye out for coupons in magazines, mailings and online. Before you check out at an online retailer, do a quick Internet search to see if that retailer currently offers any online coupons you can apply to reduce your order total.

Look for Sales

Keep an eye on your favorite retailers to watch for sales. Holiday and end-of-season sales can be great chances to score some excellent deals. If possible, try to stock up on items in the off-season when they’re on sale and the stores want to get rid of them. For instance, buying your horse blankets in May can save you lots of money for future use.

Buy in Bulk

Whenever possible, try to buy supplies in bulk to save money in the long term. Buying fly sprays and coat conditioners in larger bottles of concentrates can pay off in future savings. Additionally, some retailers offer discounts for bulk item purchases.

Subscribe to Email Lists

Retailer email lists are another great source of information when you’re shopping for horse supplies online. Sign up for the email lists from the retailers you frequently use so that you can receive news about sales and specials, as well as coupons.

Buy Used

When you’re buying larger items like tack and blankets, it’s often hard to beat the prices you can get by buying used. Used items are often available at a significant discount, and sometimes you can find items that have hardly been used at all for much less than they cost at retail.

While we all hope the coronavirus pandemic ends soon, You can make the best of it find some great deals by buying horse supplies online.
