How To Save Some Money Online

A useful Post at last:

Online shopping is becoming much more popular, very quickly. Most companies offer coupon codes and discounts but you have to know where to look to find them, particularly computer/tech companies.

My primary site for finding discounts is Techbargains, which tracks mostly tech deals, but also keeps track of some of the other major online retailers (amazon, buy, etc). Techbargains updates several times a day and the weekend ads usually come out Friday or Saturday so you can plan ahead if you want something.

For Dell Coupons (Dell has lots of discounts which change regularly, at least twice a week) I usually look at what was the Dell Rasputinj which now appears to track a number of companies. It can be found here now. The forums for the Dell PDAs (Aximsite) have a section for dell discounts which usually has some good deals as well, check it out here.

http://www.fatwallet.com/ , Particularly the forums has lots of good deals, including some one time use dell coupons donated by other users. This doesn't mean they only list dell, you can find deals for just about any company, online or "brick and mortar"

http://currentcodes.com/ Has lost of coupon codes for a variety of online stores.

If you are in the market for books/movies Barnes and Noble has lots of printable coupons on their website (many also work online). They are indexed here or you can just play with the following url (just change the last number after "pid="): http://www.barnesandnoble.com/promo/coupon/bn_inc.asp?r=1&pid=10498

Happy Shopping ;-)
