Even More Money-Saving Shopping Tips

Welcome to another installment of handy money-saving shopping tips! I keep running across interesting shopping advice and resources to share with you. I haven't used these resources yet, but I'd like to introduce you to them all the same.Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN), wish no more. Click over to JungleCrazy, which claims to find you "all the best Amazon deals in one place," with displays of items marked down by 70% or more.

At MPire.com, you can zero in on good deals from even more retailers -- including Amazon.com, eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY), Target (NYSE: TGT), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), and more.

At myTriggers.com, enter the item you're looking for, and the site will search "over 100 million items from more than a million sellers" to help you find the best deals.

Another shopping search consolidator is TheFind.com. I clicked on their "dog beds" link, for example, and found over 23,000 results from nearly 2,000 stores.

Many retailer websites offer coupon codes, providing discounts or benefits like free shipping. Finding those codes can be tricky, but many websites are ready to help you. Search for "coupon," or "code," along with the name of the retailer you're using, and you'll likely turn something up. Or go to currentcodes.com or similar sites to browse through lots of available codes.

A Foolish caveat: While they can make shopping simpler, these sites can sometimes complicate your quest, too. After all, who wants to search through 23,000 results?
