Google Alerts Really Helps!

Google Alerts is a great way to save time and money! Just log on to www.google.com/alerts. You will see a box which says "Creat a Google Alert". Enter the information you want to search for (for example- recliner sale), your e-mail address and how often you'd like to have an e-mail with results sent to you (as it happens, once a day or once a week). You will be sent an e-mail whenever your search term appears in a new web page, blog or news article.

Find True Bargains

Honesty.com can help you find true bargains on eBay. When you search for a particular item, they show you a current range of prices for that item on eBay and identify the bargains among them. Sometimes the item you're searching for may be too rare for them to identify a bargain price. In those instances, they will simply show you which auctions are out there with no bargains highlighted.

Another site I just LOVE is Woot.com! They pick one item a day to sell at a big discount. This site can be addicting so be very careful. You might just find yourself buying something you don't need just because the deal is so good!

Ebates Is Awesome

At Ebates.com you can actually earn money by shopping at certain stores online. It is FREE to sign up which is also a plus. When you shop, a percentage of what you spend will go directly into an account set up just for you. Different stores give different percentages. Four times a year they will mail you a "Big Fat Check" or transfer the money into your PayPal account if you prefer. They can also send the money directly to your favorite charity. More money can be made by referring friends to Ebates ($5 for each friend who signs up and becomes a qualified member).
