I like to check store through www.mypoints.com first so that I can add to my points while still getting a bargain. then I always make it a point to look at www.currentcodes.com to see if there are any promotional offers going on like free shipping or percentages off my purchase.
for electronics I like to try www.newegg.com first excellent prices, great turnover, and customer service.
grabprices.com will show you a comparative list of different stores and their prices for the item you are searching.

I don't do much online shopping but when I do, I like to go to amazon.com they seem to have everything your looking for all in one place. This makes shopping at home evry esay and they have such great prices it is hard to resist sometimes.

Welcome to myLot mollykins! All sites have great bargains from time to time. Some recent places I've shopped at for good deals, though are Target.com and Overstock.com. Overstock is really great because they have low $2.95 shipping all the time, so I always look there when I'm buying a heavier item. If you love shopping and finding bargains, you should check out the site in my profile. You get paid for the shopping that you do and there's a team of people that find the awesome deals for you.

For me, my favorite online shopping site is: www.qvc.co.uk. But since your location is in Australia, I think you can shop with ebay.com. Frankly, I am not totally satisfied with eBay as sometimes it really depends on the sellers, who are honest but some are not. Sorry I am unable to help you further.

If you shop through MyPoints.com, you get points for every dollar you spend and you get to cash out points for giftcards. They have a lot of websites to choose from like Overstock, Barnes & Noble, clothing stores, etc.
Overstock in itself has some pretty good bargains.

I go to several sites to price items before buying anything. One of my favorite places is Amazon. There are many great deals and free shipping is offered on many items.
Another site I have made purchases is Target. This site sends me regular e-mails so I know when its free shipping. I won't shop when its not as the shipping fees can mean a good price suddenly isn't after shipping.
Many of my friends love ebay, but I had a very bad experience so avoid it. I have seen good deals discussed, but I'm always concerned about troubles with a seller.
My newest great deal is at cooking.com. I made an order before the holidays and they shipped it quickly at a very low price. The site has a lot of great cooking supplies. I'm certain that all my friends that enjoy cooking will be receiving gifts from that site this year, as I can have them send it cheaper than I can mail.

I was so surprised while Christmas shopping online. I shopped alot on Amazon.com. Throughout the season they had terrific bargins on toys and if you spent 25 dollars or more, your shipping was free. I love any place that has bargains and free shipping. They also have bargains like that all year long. :)

I think either Ebay or Overstock would be your best choices. Usually you get a great deal on what you buy or bid (ebay auctions) however you have to pay the shipping costs too. Overstock used to only charge $1.00 for shipping but that was a few years ago and I don't know if they still do that.
I'd do some research before you buy something as many places will pay you just to sign up and buy something from ebay and many places will give you cash back from buying certain places.

Hi Mollykins, love your username!
Have you signed up with Dealsdirect? They have some great deals . . as the name suggests! LOL and the emails they send you have really great savings, but are sometimes only available for a day or 3.
Worth checking out!
