THE quickest way to save some money, find a bargain or snare a great deal is to head online.
There are scores of websites offering to help stressed-out consumers beat the economic blues.
www.dealsdirect.com.au is one of Australia's largest online department stores and offers great prices on all of its 5000 product lines. They deliver to more than one million customers and have a huge range of goods across 25 categories.
www.whypayfullprice.com.au is a good Australian coupon website which allows you to download and print out coupons to use in participating stores. Simply type in your postcode to find huge discounts in your local area. Categories range from discounts on attractions and entertainment, to accommodation and travel, services, retail and dining out.
www.getprice.com.au is an independent Australian shopping-comparison website which allows customers to search or browse product prices from more than 350 online retailers. Customers are able to compare prices and are then directed to the retailer of their choice.
www.catchoftheday.com.au puts a product on this website at a radically reduced price at noon. The catch (pun intended) is that the product is only available for 24 hours or until sold out.
www.offerme.com.au has sellers falling over themselves to give you a good deal. It couldn't be simpler. List the item you want and wait for sellers to make you offers. You choose the best deal for you without the hassle of haggling with salespeople.
www.myshopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading sites with several million products ranging from electronics to fashion and jewellery, health and beauty products.
www.topbargains.com.au is a bargain-sharing website where users can share and recommend bargains. The bargains are then voted on by other users on the basis of their usefulness or satisfaction level.
www.dealdump.com.au is useful if you are simply browsing for a bargain, rather than focused on a particular item. The website combines deals from several comparison and online stores.
www.ozbargain.com.au helps users obtain discounts, upgrades, freebies or exclusive deals and find cheap tickets to music and entertainment gigs.
www.streetsmartshopper.com.au has massive savings on top brands of whitegoods, televisions, vacuum cleaners and most major appliances.
