Now that the holidays are upon us here are some tips for using the Internet to lower your shopping costs. The biggest problem is to get lower bulk prices from online vendors Without paying heavy shipping charges.
Look for free shipping listed on the bargain sites.
For example, for Xmas crafters -- Joanne Fabrics online has free shipping and sales on seasonal craft projects.
FREE SHIPPING on joann.com orders of $25 or more USe code:DECFSA425.
Amazing new products at joann.com!
Check out free shipping at Overstock.com
New customers Save an extra 5% OFF at Overstock.com!

and yes, the ubiquitous Drugstore.com

Another way to cover shipping charges is to use one of the click through shopping services where you get points for viewing people’s add sites, or clicking through and shopping. You can rather quickly rack up enough points to pay for your shipping charges. The ones I use and recommend are :
Mypoints.com (Note:please put pinteareed as the person whe referred you, thanks!)

Another way to pay for your Internet time is to join some Affiliate Programs at places you normally shop. You set up an Affiliate Link on Free Web page and click through to buy items you want to purchase there. You’ll get a given percentage of the sale, and get paid when the total reaches a certain point. By remembering to do this before online purchases, you can get earn enough to pay all your shipping fees plus earn a little more.
A popular one is Linkshare.com

Of course, people who are very active online in various Net clubs would make more.
But consider that the Internet while not making you rich can indeed pay its own way and make you a bit more money for the important things in your budget.
