Saving Money Online

We all want to save money. Here are some great places on the web where you can save money when shopping online. Whether it's shopping through a special website or adding a code to your order, these sites can save you money. The best part is you can use the coupons at your favorite sites.

Mr. Rebates: 
My Favorite money saving site on the web is Mr. Rebates. When I first came across the site it sounded too good to be true. But I have used the site for over two years and they have sent me over $600 in cash for shopping at stores I was using anyway, and buying items I was going to buy with or without the discounts. Here is how Mr. Rebates works:  First, Mr. Rebates offers a cash-back rebate at over 1000 popular stores like Best Buy, Dell, JC Penney, Overstock.com and more.  Second, Mr. Rebates staff adds daily money-saving coupons and special sales/price drops on hot products.  The combination of the Mr. Rebates cash-back rebate plus coupons/sales insures that you will save money on your online purchases.  This adds up to big savings every time you shop with Mr. Rebates! Some people might ask "How is Mr. Rebates able to give cash-back from so many online stores?".  Simple, the stores that you see on Mr. Rebates pay them a commission on each sale that is generated.  Most shopping-based websites keep that commission for themselves but Mr. Rebates refunds a good portion of that commission to you!  Mr. Rebates consistently supplies their shoppers with online coupons, discounts and cash-back rebates to make shopping via Mr. Rebates economical and fun. When I use Mr. rebates I will search the web and find the item I am looking for  then I will check and see if that store is on Mr. Rebates. Sometimes you will find the same item that may be the same price or even slightly more but after the rebate and possible coupons from Mr. Rebates you can turn a good deal into a great deal.

Coupon Cabin:
Another great website for saving money is called Coupon Cabin. This website offers coupons and codes to a wide variety of stores. When I am shopping online I always check this site to see if they have any coupons for the store I want to shop at. Coupons vary from free shipping to a discount on your order. This site offers coupons for both online sales and printable coupons to use in stores.  They also have links for free samples. I use the handy feature at the top that lets you search by the store name. You can combine Mr. Rebates with Coupon Cabin. Check through the Mr. Rebates link, but add any coupon codes from Coupon Cabin during checkout and get double savings!

Register with Sites:
Another potential way to save money online is to register for email updates from your favorite merchants. You may want to have a separate email address for this project, since the emails can add up. I use a yahoo account for all my newsletters and store accounts. On a regular basis, many merchants will send out special emails to customers who are registered with them. Often times these emails include pretty great savings opportunities. Occasionally, some of the offers can be as high as a fifty-percent discount or more! I found that most stores will send you a coupon code after you purchase an item form them. Use this to your advantage during the holidays and try shopping in waves, purchasing an item from the store then waiting for the coupon code and then finish your shopping list.  Sign up for newsletters at restaurants and fast food places. I get a monthly coupon from Sonic , Applebee's and Subway. Try your favorite restaurants and see if they have a spot to sign up for a newsletter or special offers. At the very least you will probably get a coupon for your birthday.

Check Before  You Shop:
Check out websites before you leave the house. There are some really great deals out there. Stores often have online coupons that you can use in stores also.
