How To Save Money On Online Purchases, A Step-By-Step Guide

1. Figure out what item you are looking for, either in store or online
2. Go to cashbackmonitor.com to see who has the best cash back offer
3. Use that portal to purchase said item, often I've found that ebates is the best. You can sign up here. They are currently running a special where you can choose a free $10 gift card of your choice after your first purchase. It simplifies things to use one main portal for getting cash back, especially if the percentages are similar.
4. Go to a site such as retailmenot to see what the best coupon codes available are
5. Complete purchase on retailers website, be sure that you go through the link from ebates (or other portal) to arrive at the retailers webpage
6. That's it! Using this I got ~$500 of clothes (MSRP, which you could argue overestimates the value) from Kohl for the equivalent of $90

Almost everything has a cashback portal, even Amazon. You could think about it like you are getting an additional discount after all other coupon codes have been applied.
