I do a fair bit of shopping over the internet and there’s often a part in the check out process near the end that asks, “do you have a promotional code for your purchases?”

I usually just ignored this bit and carried on entering in my Visa number.

But then one day I noticed that if you do a search for “promotional code” and the name of the internet retailer, you’ll often be able to find one. I’ve saved 20-80% from all sorts of things from my getting christmas presents to domain name registration and even when finding out my credit score.

There’s hundreds of sites that just deal in coupons and codes and offers. In fact, I often got to Lifehacker.com for all sorts of tips like this. It’s a great place for ‘getting things done’.
