Shopping Online With Centsible.net

Centsible.net aims to be the best place to find bargains online. Many people come to the site looking for coupon codes for a specific product - and often that product doesn't have any codes going at the moment. Doesn't mean you can't get a discounted price though! Many products are carried at different stores, which may have valid coupons. For example, Billy Blanks coupon codes don't appear that frequently. If you can't find any current ones, maybe you can check another shop that sells Billy Blanks home exercise videos (like GAIAM for example) and see if THEY have coupon codes.

Our department pages hope to introduce you to some new online shopping possibilites you've never shopped at before, or maybe just didn't think of this time. Maybe you'll find a better deal by checking out some of the competition.

We also offer what we hope are great references for you. We have a listing of all (or near enough all) grocers in the US and Canada. We offer tips on writing effective complaint letters. A whole page is dedicated to making money from test-driving cars - another page dedicated to paying surveys online and who offers what.

In short, we are working on Centsible.net every day in every way imagineable. If you've never visited us before, or if its just been awhile, come and check us out. We're getting better every day!

Often, online coupon codes cannot be "stacked" or combined with other promos or even deeply discounted items. In this section of Centsible.net, we showcase promo codes that will get you instant savings, storewide price reductions of a flat rate across the board and price drops for specific items. We try to show you how all of the different offers pan out in the end. Should you take the coupon for free shipping or 15% off? If its a store like Overstock.com that features $2.95 shipping everyday, maybe you should take the 15% promo! We try to organize our promos so you can compare them quickly and easily.

Here we try to feature various categories of products, so you know what you can buy at each store covered by Centsible.net. This comes in particularly useful when trying to make the most of shipping policies. If you didn't know about all the products offered at a specific online store, it might be more difficult to reach a threshold purchase amount that may take you over into free shipping territory!

This is also the area where Centsible.net will feature new products and storewide sales. Most of the time, offers found here can be combined with other promotions. Sometimes though, coupon and free shipping promos are such good values that they aren't applicable to sale items. Be sure to read the fine print (again, we've tried to make it easy for you by highlighting the major restrictions to each offer).

Centsible.net's free and reduced shipping coverage not only brings you free shipping offers from stores listed at Centsible.net, it also outlines standard shipping policies at these shops. This is useful when deciding if you should use a coupon for a percentage off your merchandise total or a coupon for free shipping.

If you have

• a merchandise total of $500
• a coupon for 10% off your merchandise total
• and a coupon for free shipping

(and if these offers can't be combined) which should you choose?

• If the everyday shipping price is $5 anyways, go for 10% off your merchandise total!
• If shipping & handling is on a sliding scale based on your order total, and your item is heavy - maybe you should go with free shipping. - be careful that your free shipping offer covers special oversized delivery costs

We hope to give you enough info to make informed decisions like these.

We also try to point out where orders can be delivered to, what delivery options are available, and the main restrictions to any published promos. Along with this, we include info on where different companies are equipped to receive payments from, standard shipping delivery timelines (important around the holidays).

Keep in mind that for international deliveries, the destination country may charge additional duty charges, levies and import fees. These fees are not usually included in the final price you pay and the shipment's recipient will be responsible for paying these additional fees upon receiving the item. Refusal to pay these fees often results in non-delivery of the item and your inability to receive a refund on this "refused merchandise".

Of course, there are always the forums too. Our crowd is growing. Sometimes there is a brutal silence in the forums - sometimes there are great offers to be seen. Just keep checking back - we hope our pulse stays consistent in the future!

When I found out that you can get paid to test drive new cars several years back, I was amazed! Even if you're not in the market for a new car, it never hurts to keep abreast of what's available - who knows when circumstances will lead you to the necessity of buying a new car unexpectedly.. A little green incentive for this doesn't hurt either! Generally, if you're honest at the dealership that you're just window-shopping and prompted by a paid-test-drive offer, you'll have no problems.

Check out Centsible.net's Directory of how and where to find paid test drive offers and visit the forums to get the latest word on paid test drive offers, as well as sign up for our (admittedly sporadic) newsletter on the whole paid test drive thing!

No doubt about it, the cost of groceries is getting sky high. At Centsible.net, we've compiled an excellent library of resources to make your grocery shopping easier, more efficient and cheaper.

First, check out about ordering your groceries online. This convenience often times proves to be more a necessity than a luxury, especially now that we're so busy working and gasoline prices are so high! If you'd prefer to shop for your groceries by hand, or if there are no grocery delivery services available in your area, view your local grocer's website online to check the weekly flyers, print store specific coupons, load coupons onto your club card and more. Finally, we've got a growing printable coupons for groceries, personal care and household products. Lets face it - what you save on groceries can be spent on other stuff!

If you're killing time online and you've got an opinion, you may be interested in signing up to complete surveys online. Centsible.net has compiled a listing of legitimate online survey companies, giving you links to them and letting you know how they pay you (in points, lottery entries, or cold hard cash).

You won't get rich doing this, but you'll make a little extra without a lot of effort. The best offers to take advantage of here are the focus groups: you have to show up in person and it usually takes an hour or so of your time, but it frequently pays at least $100 (and they usually feed you too!). Surveys that only pay 1 or 2 participants through a "lottery" are also worth the while too. I've won $100 prizes a few times for completing those!

Even if you find the best price online for something, its still a waste if its broke or not what you expected. Being able to write an effective and persuasive complaint letter is a handy skill to ensure you get what you paid for.

Visit our page on letters of complaint to find several tips on writing complaint letters, a sample complaint letter and links to other sites detailing how and when to write effective letters of complaint.
