Saving money takes alot more than just coupon codes and free shipping. Be sure to weigh out how you save the most. Maybe if you just combine your shopping into one place to get their free shipping according to the policies, you'll save more... There's alot to consider to get the best deal. Another thing to check out is if you can "stack" coupons or not... I like http://www.centsible.net. There's not a HUGE amount of shops (still over 100), but they provide pretty in depth coverage on those that they feature.

Something to be careful about is the shipping cost. If you need to return the item for any reason, the shipping & handling charges will not usually be refunded (and those can be substantial).
I've heard of horror stories where a "set" pictured on a website no longer included some of the pieces. When the buyer received the set (minus bar stools appearing in the picture), she was referred to the small note on the webpage, stating the bar stools were no longer included with the set. The store gladly returned the item, less the shipping and handling charges of over $100!
I run an online coupon site at http://www.centsible.net and have researched the many ways to save shopping online, as well as what to watch out for. My advice is just to be absolutely sure of what you're getting, and be aware your shipping charge is not recoverable.
