Take full advantage of the free market place..

I prefer to shop online but I also do quite a bit of research into checking prices and offers available before I make a purchase of most items. I've discovered that with just a few minutes of research it's possible to save money the majority of time and these savings ad up. I also highly recommend using coupon codes as another way to save when using online shopping. There are many different types of coupons and special deals that you can discover, such as Fashion Bug one of my bunch of daughters favorite place to shop. Or to find items that they like and then email me the link hinting/hoping that I'll shop for them. My 12 year old is very adept at this skill.

I prefer to use places that offer free shipping, but even when an online store like Cooking.com does not normally offer free shipping, using a coupon that gives you free shipping is being a smart consumer. Places like www.ecouponcodes.com, update their selection of special deals and coupons on a very regular basis, so if you are anticipating buying a large ticket item, at times by waiting a day or two then re-checking you can save money. Online merchants put out these coupon codes on a very non-scheduled manner from what I've been able to determine, so checking now and doing your research helps you take full advantage of getting the best deal in the free market...
