Sure, you keep an eye out for ads and sales circulars in your local newspaper, but did you know there are more ways to save when you’re shopping online at Sears or Kmart? Here are three tips to help you buy more with less.

Become a Shop Your Way member. Join the free membership program and shopping community at Sears and Kmart for exclusive and early access to special sales and offers, rewards, personalized deals, contests and sweepstakes and product reviews.

Through Shop Your Way, members can earn and redeem ewards points by linking an eligible Visa credit or debit card to their Shop Your Way account, which they then can use at Sears, Kmart or partner merchants (think Burger King, Popeyes, 1-800-Flowers.com and more). Click here for more info.

Being a member also grants you early access to the digital sales circular — up to three to four days in advance of its release, and allows you to follow celebs like Adam Levine and Nicki Minaj to see what they’re shopping for now.

Finally, want the chance to get your hands on 1 million Shop Your Way Points? Go to Searslocalad.com or Kmartlocalad.com to enter the 1 Million Points per Week Sweepstakes. See official rules for details.

Shop local overstocks online. All sales are not created equal. In fact, there may be incredible bargains at your local Sears or Kmart not available anywhere else. Sears Localad and Kmart Localad combine the best of the retailers’ weekly ads with unique deals from your local stores. The result? Fingertip access to all the latest deals from your computer, smartphone or tablet.

Also, be sure to choose “clearance and overstock” from the departments drop-down menu for deals specific to your favorite store. These prices are reflective of local inventory, are refreshed frequently and are the only place they’re advertised, so take advantage!

Buy online, pick up in store. If you’ve ever spotted a great deal shopping online, only to skip it because you didn’t want to pay the shipping fee, this is a feature you’ll want to check out. All you do is search Sears.com or Kmart.com for products labeled “Store Pickup”, enter your ZIP code for availability, choose your local store, check out and you’ll receive an email letting you know your item is ready.
