* Look both online and offline.

* Search coupon sites and check flyers, newspapers, and mailers for discounts.

* Ask around! See who has what you’re shopping for, ask them where they got theirs at. If they got a good deal, they’ll likely tell you all about without you have to ask further questions.

* Look for used or consignment shops, they have fantastic prices on name brand barely used items, especially business wear and dress clothes.

* Wait for a sale! Memorial Day, Labor Day, Presidents Day. Lots of big sales.

* Off-brands are not always cheaper, compare brands and prices to see the differences in both the product and the price to make sure you get all the features you want/need.

* Read reviews. Check out the product reviews first online, often times they will lead to a discount code, sale, or at the very least free shipping.

* Combine coupon codes when you can, a lot of shopping carts will let you stack deals and codes, get free shipping, 10% off, and a free gift all at the same time.

* Try a shopping bot like Shopzilla or Pricegrabber for a fast way to sift through shop results.

* Browse before you buy! Don’t jump on the first good deal you see. There might be a better one at the very next store. Check all your options. Keep a list.

* Check for mail in rebates for big purchases like electronics. Great way to save money, but takes awhile. Buy online, using coupon codes and deals then additional savings from the mail in rebates.
