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

Michelle started a coupon club in Douglas county and also participated in a grocery shopping makover with us back around November. Her new blog tells you what’s on sale at publix and where to get all the coupons to maximize the deals. You can even print the coupons right from her website. Go Michelle!

Hey All!
I did a recent story on local bloggers who are helping all of us save money, and I have a couple more to add to the list of ones that are worth reading.
Southerncouponbell.com is the brainchild of Traci Rogers of Cherokee County. Traci is a great couponer and bargain shopper and her blog is informative and also cute!
Traci is part of a class on Saving Money that will be held April 15th at Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church from 6:30 to 8:15 PM.
A 10.00 donation to the Church’s Moms of Preschoolers group is requested from those who attend. For more information check out traci’s blog.
You can also go the Church’s Website for info http://www.hmumc.org/events.aspx?id=39
Also Michelle Atwood, who gained fame on 11Alive last year when she bought a huge cart of groceries for A QUARTER is putting her talents to use in a brand new blog. This one focuses on Publix and how to maximize your savings there. http://www.iheartpublix.com/
Michelle NEVER misses a deal, and she does her deals with two small boys in tow!!
One other GREAT blog is not local but sure is helpful: http://neverpayretailagain.blogspot.com/
And btw, if you were wondering how long a sealed bag of Mini M and M’s will last inside a little plastic Easter egg, I am here to tell you At Least a Year if it stored in the Basement with Easter Decorations. As we were putting treats in eggs last night, D and I came across several eggs that were still full of last year’s loot. He was the guinea pig.. said they were fine.
Not recommending.. just sharing, for what it’s worth.
