Before You Buy, Research the Best Holiday Deals Online

It's another holiday shopping season and this year, more than ever, consumers are expected to do almost as much shopping online as they do in brick and mortar stores.

To help you find the best bargains, online and at the malls, here are some websites that will help you get the very best deals.

Deal Catcher is a great resource for coupons you can print out and take to the store or redeem online, as well as rebates that help you lower the price you pay.

Black Friday Online lists sales for the day after Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday, and has a page devoted to the best online deals offered by the big box stores.

Slick Deals is another great intelligence site to check before buying. They scour the ads and get tips sent in from real shoppers on unadvertised specials.

Another online resource for saving money is the forums at Deal of Deal. This is full of fresh info posted by shoppers who find freebies, discounts, and deals that pop up before many of the other sites even hear of them.

Share your Holiday wishlists with family and friends at the network shopping site Kaboodle. Here you can easily add items from various merchants, while making "friends" with others. They can check out your wishlist, and vice versa. A downloadable toolbar makes it convenient to add while you shop, without ever leaving the original site.

Finally, be sure to check the comparison shopping sites like Bizrate, PriceGrabber, MySimon, and Shop. They will tell you where your gift item can be bought at the absolute best price.
