A few extra clicks saved me $100

May 15th, 2008 · 4 Comments

With the all of the media hype about the glooming economy in the face of a recession, soaring gas prices, and food price increases, I want to remind you how easy it is to save on your purchases with the use of coupons. In the past I have talked about how much you can save with coupons, both with physical and online codes.

 

In the past week, I did some online shopping for the following items:

 

26” LCD Television from Amazon.com

1-year Dreamhost membership for this blog

Flowers for mother’s day

 

Before I purchased each item, I opened a new web browser and searched for “Amazon coupons codes”. Within seconds, I was able to quickly find free shipping on two of my orders and a $50 coupon for web hosting….These 3 searches saved me over $100 and all it required was one extra step in my online shopping routine. This represented about a 10% savings from the list prices and I will be including these savings in my blog savings account.

 

You can find a discount on pretty much any online merchant; all you have to do is dedicate the time to complete the search.
