Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need:

computer
internet access
email address
credit card

Step 1

Don't pay for shipping and delivery!

FREE SHIPPING is key!
Try to avoid paying shipping charges at all costs. In this way, online shopping can be as economical as going to a store in person.
Step 2

Save the effort of multiple shipments by consolidating.

How many shipments?
Think about what type of items you are looking for. Consider what you need in ALL areas of your life to see if you can consolidate into one shipment of many things. For example, if you are looking to buy some cute flats for a party but you also need some moisturizer and a present for your friend's baby, then you might consider buying from a discount department store, such as Target or K-Mart. On the other hand, if you know you want a whole new shoe wardrobe, you can try a specialty merchant (such as zappos.com or planetshoes.com).
Step 3

Save cash by using coupons.

Find coupons!
When you shop online, many merchants have a checkout process that includes a box for coupon or discount codes. In many cases, these codes are mailed out on mailing lists or are circulated in certain ares of the country. There are many websites where people post these codes on message boards.
