Spending Monday shopping online? Here are some ways to maximize your savings.
If you launch your shopping trip from a site like ebates.com or mypoints.com you can get rebates on top of what you already save. Some rebates are as high as 15%.
Use retailmenot.com to find coupon codes and free shipping. However, retail expert Fatima Mehdikarimi suggests online shoppers google the company at which they plan to shop along with the phrase “promo code.” (For example: Home Depot promo code) Mehdikarimi said she often finds deeper discounts than the code compilation sites offer.
Before you make a purchase compare prices using tools like pricegrabber.com.
Since quantities are often limited on deeply discounted items, register in advance at the online stores where you plan to shop. That way, you won’t have to start an account before you check out.
With some sales, even if you have an item in your cyber shopping cart, it can disappear into someone else’s if you don’t check out quickly.
To avoid a lot of cumbersome typing use sites like roboform.com. You only have to fill out your name, address and other information once. After that, roboform.com will fill out forms with just one click. The service offers a free version as well as Roboform pro, which you have to pay for.
And remember prices can change by the hour. Sign up for email alerts on cybermonday.com

The sky high price of concert tickets has a lot of people grumbling, but two Atlanta men are actually DOING something about it.
Iain Bluett and Jamie Dwyer started Ticket Alternative 7 years ago and now employ around 20 people at their Midtown Loft Office.
Bluett told me he has always been a music buff who loved going to concerts but he found himself annoyed about the Convenience Charge that’s added to the price of a typical Ticketmaster Ticket. He said they can be as high as 40 percent!
Bluett and Dwyer approached some of Atlanta’s smaller concert venues, (2000 or fewer seats) and began promoting and issuing tickerts for them. They’ve now grown into a good sized company that operates in 48 starts and holds the contract for some big events like Taste of Atlanta. “Our surcharge, is at the most, 10 percent,” said Bluett.
As the company keeps growing, more concerts will cost less. (And of course New Job Creation is always a good thing as well..)
