If you shop online or use coupons

[sent by by my friend Wendy C.: thanks, Wendy!]

If you shop online or use coupons then you need to know about these websites:

http://www.promotionalcodes.com/
Thousands of codes for popular retailers, many of them originally uploaded by customers who received them by email or snail mail.

http://www.freeshipping.org/
Hefty shipping charges can scotch an otherwise excellent deal. Look for merchants who ship gratis or rustle up a code for the order already in your cart.

http://www.retailmenot.com/
More than 400,000 coupon codes for more than 100,000 retailers. Bonus: a tool to add to your Web browser that alerts you if you're shopping at a site for which there's a code.

http://www.redplum.com/
Not just online discount codes but also a database of printable coupons for local merchants. Just click on Shop Online and sign up by entering your name, email, and zip code, then hunt for exclusive offers.

http://www.ebates.com/
Beyond supplying discount codes, this site offers cash back at over 1,300 stores when you start your shopping trip there. For instance, if you splurge at Victoria's Secret, you'll get a check from Ebates for 2% of the total order. Checks go out every 3 months as long as you earn at least $5.01.

These websites are mentioned in an article from Family Circle, April 17, 2010.
