Step 1
Shop on eBay for Christmas gifts. There are many things that people are selling on EBay, chances are good that you will find something that is on your list to buy. Many times you can get things for much less than retail on this bidding website. You may be able to do your entire Christmas shopping on eBay.

Step 2
Use online coupons to save money while Christmas shopping. Some people may not know that there are special coupons used over the Internet that have a number called a promo code. It is one of the best ways to save money. The Internet is full of codes for savings on various products. One website that has information on these promo codes is Coupon Cabin (see Resources below).

Step 3
Buy discounted electronics from BestBuy online and save money. If you have any electronics on your Christmas shopping list this year, it would be advantageous of you to check for online coupons on the Coupon Chef website (see Resources below). There are many listings for popular products, you are sure to find a bargain with online coupons.

Step 4
Use the power of the Internet instead of using gas to run all over town. When you shop online for Christmas, it would be nice to have something of a search engine for gifts, right? Well there's a pretty cool website that lets you determine the lowest price that something is available and where to purchase it. That will save a lot of running from store to store. Their website is called Price Grabber (see Resources below).

Step 5
Use your credit cards with the highest rewards when Christmas shopping online. Be sure that the website that you are using is a secure one by looking for the little padlock on the lower status bar on the screen. Many credit card companies offer rewards as an incentive to spend more on their card, however, the cards with cash back per purchase can add up to money coming to you after Christmas. This may be a good thing, especially if you have overspent on Christmas shopping this year.

on 11/17/2008 Thanks for the great tips. I am saving this year by using shopping rewards sites like Extrabux.com or Microsoft Live Search, both highly rated by Comparerewards.com. You can get cash back on your purchases and it's really easy to use.
