Tips for Shopping Online

Us, frugalists, have two best friends, of course there are coupons, and then there are promo codes! I never buy anything online without searching for a promo code first. Sites, like my favorite - www.retailmenot.com, keep a running list of promo codes for every store you could imagine. This past holiday season I did nearly the entirety of all of my gift shopping online and saved nearly 70% off of my purchases all together.

Ebay and Amazon can both be big money savers but make sure you compare prices before making a purchase to be sure it is indeed a good deal – the same as you would when shopping in stores.

I have saved tons of money shopping online - from ordering pizza to big ticket items like luxury watches.

What's even better than saving money? Getting paid to shop online!

Places like www.shopathome.com and www.ebates.com are great sites that reward you with a percentage back each and every time you make a purchase from your favorite stores thru their sites. Right now Shop at Home is offering a sign up bonus of $5 when you make your first purchase and every time you accumulate $20 on your account, they will cut you a check! Ebates is also offering a sign up bonus of a $10 gift card to a store of your choosing. These sites also offer an abundance of promo codes to save you even more!

So now you know, you don’t even need to leave your house to save money!

Happy shopping!
