Before making an online purchase, always look for a coupon code. Sometimes, there is a code for a discount, other times it's cheaper or free shipping. To find these coupon codes, you can enter "company name coupons" into a search engine and see what pops up. The two sites I use most are: http://printable-coupons.blogspot.com/
and www.retailmenot.com.

Also, if you don't have a printed coupon for a store product, you can do the same. Often, manufacturers have coupons on their websites, for example, smartbalance, naturemade or Ulta.

Happy Saving!
