Online Shopping Sites

It’s another holiday shopping season and this year, more than ever, consumers are expected to do almost as much shopping online as they do in brick and mortar stores. To help you find the best bargains – online and at the malls – I’ve put together some Websites that will help you get the very best deals.

Let’s start with discount coupons and DealCatcher, a great resource for coupons you can print out and take to the store or redeem online… as well as rebates that help you lower the price you pay.

The Black Friday 2007 site lists sales for the Day after Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday and has a page devoted to the best online deals offered by the big box stores.

Slickdeals.net is another great intelligence site to check before buying. They scour the ads and get tips sent in from real shoppers on unadvertised specials.

My favorite online resource for saving money is the forums at DealofDay.com. This is full of fresh info posted by shoppers who find freebies, discounts and deals that pop up before many of the other sites even hear of them.

Some sites even pay you to shop there. Here’s one that pays you to eat. Really. Here’s another one that claims you can get paid to shop.

Finally, before you head out the door or click the order button online, be sure to check the big comparison-shopping sites like BizRate, PriceGrabber and Shop.com. They will tell you where your gift item can be bought at the absolute best price.
