I like bargains
May 31, 2008
and I saw this article about saving money on the web. I thought I would share the salient points, along with some links.

“People are feeling a bit of squeeze and are looking for ways to save money without cutting back their spending,” said Barry Boone, owner of currentcodes.com and naughtycodes.com.
Web sites like currentcodes.com list discount codes for a number of online retailers from Amazon to Zappos. If you find a code to an online store you’re shopping at, just copy it and paste it into the “promotional code” box in the checkout area of the retailer’s Web site.
Printable coupons, which can be used in stores, are also readily found online at various Web sites and blogs like printable-coupons.blogspot.com and wow-coupons.com.
According to a recent survey conducted by retailmenot.com, 63% of respondents said they would not make a purchase if there was no deal attached. The coupon site expects 4 million visitors in May, up 260% from a year ago, according to co-founder Bevan Clark.
Clark says the savings shouldn’t end there. He urges online shoppers to check a comparison service likepricegrabber before making a purchase, and then go to a coupon sharing site “to really stack on the savings,” and lastly, watch for any future price drops with a price protection service like priceprotectr.com. Many retailers will refund the difference if the price of a product is reduced within two weeks after the purchase is made.
