In the world of food, more is not always better.  I love a good stack of pancakes, but if I ate them every day I might have to invest in some new clothes to fit my new size.  In terms of online shopping discounts, the complete opposite is true — MORE IS BETTER!

Do you make normally search for “(store name) coupon code” before you hand over payment — including Plastic Jungle gift cards! — when shopping online? This simple few second task can unveil a specific dollar or percentage discount coupon code.

Another great trick is searching “(store name) free shipping” or (store name) free shipping code”.  Some websites do not post the minimum purchase amount to get free shipping, so this gets you insider information on current promotions. (This is true for Bath & Body Works, by the way.)

If you’re a frequent online shopper, you may want to consider creating a free account with either ebates or Mr. Rebates so you can earn a percentage of each qualifying purchase as cash back.  Did you need to read that twice?  That’s right.  You can get paid just for shopping online like you normally do by using these sites.

Ready to confirm payment?  Just one more thing.  Be sure to price compare your purchase via Google Product Search or PriceGrabber.com to make sure you’re getting the lowest price.

When you stack discounts while shopping online, it feels like money is falling from the sky.
