Use coupons, price comparison sites

So, you think you found the best price on an item.  Did you?  If you haven’t checked out at least one price comparison site, haven’t done a search for online coupons, and haven’t linked to the site via a rebate site (see my separate post entitled Saving money with rebate sites for online shopping), then you probably haven’t actually found the best price.

So, how do you find price comparison sites.  You can do a search on any of your favorite search engines for a price comparison site.  You can also sometimes just type in a model number into a search engine, and some of the results may actually be on price comparison sites.  You can also just check out some of these price comparison sites directly:

• www.pricegrabber.com
• www.shopzilla.com
• www.price.com
• www.mysimon.com
• www.bing.com/cashback – both a cash back site, and a price comparison site
• www.froogle.com – Google’s price comparison site
• www.dealnews.com – while not a price comparison site, input a product model/name, and see what price/deals they have found

Finding a coupon is also easy.  Type in the name of the online store, along with “coupon code” into your favorite search engine, and you may find some.  You can also go to one of the following sites for coupon codes:

• www.retailmenot.com
• www.fatwallet.com
• www.dealnews.com (and click on coupons)
• www.evreward.com – besides listing cash back opportunities, also lists some coupon codes
